Interesting...

I did these horoscope compatibilities on Baby Center...I thought they were pretty cool...and very close to the truth!

First Leif and I:

Capricorn and Virgo

It would be a real challenge to find a parenting team as sensible, practical, and serious as you two. You readily agree on the goals you share for your family and are a united front in making and enforcing rules. You and your children can thrive in such a structure as long as you're not too rigid, which can produce more rebellion in your children than you'd otherwise see.

The Virgo parent will handle most of the details of housekeeping, making appointments, and overseeing homework and school projects. You're at your best when attending to these areas of life, striving for perfection.

The Capricorn mom or dad focuses on working and providing financial support. You will teach your children about responsibility and commitment. Don't forget to express your love and support frequently, so they are equally acquainted with your softer side.


Then Leify and I:


Virgo and Libra

You tend to be a bit critical, so it's a good thing your Libra child goes out of her way to please you. Go easy on this sweet child; if you're too openly disapproving or nitpicky, it could damage tenderhearted little Libra's self-esteem. Of course, you appreciate everything your little one does to keep your relationship flowing smoothly. You're something of a perfectionist, and your little Libra is actually pretty close to perfect in your eyes: well-mannered, graceful, thoughtful, and sociable.

In fact, you can learn a thing or two from her about being more outgoing and cooperative with others! Since you tend to hang back in unfamiliar situations, you might be surprised by your gregarious child's ease in making new friends and admirers. You'd rather stay home than attend one party or playdate after another, but don't be surprised if popular little Libra receives multiple invitations.

I think Leify likes Lasagna...How about you?

Pug Update

We recently added another pug-a-lug to our family. I found her through craigslist and went and picked her up this last thursday. She is a year and a half old, and already potty trained, yay! She is actually helping train Jack :) She is adjusting well, and is a very sweet girl. We've named her Calypso. We just call her Cali though. Here are pics of her and Capt. Jack.

I'm Game!!

The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. There's a small catch...You knew there would be didn't you? Post this on your blog then come back and leave a comment, telling me you're in. Fun, huh? Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift.

Shakin' His Groove Thang

Growing Up

Leify is growing up so fast it makes me sad! His vocabulary seems like it has doubled in the past two weeks. Everything we say he repeats! His favorite word is still "WOW". He grew out of his 18 month clothes in less than a week and a half. He is really tall! He is built just like Leif, tall and lean...but he does have some fluffy little buns. I wonder who he gets that from! :o)!
Here the little stud muffin is, he has gotten even bigger since this photo was taken.

Captian Jack Sparrow Hasselblad

Here is our new Pug. We have missed Thor so much, and when my sister Dana received a pug for Christmas (from my more than generous brother Pat) it just compounded it. Thor was the funniest, craziest, cuggliest, and sometimes the most annoying dog I have ever known. We have been waiting to get into our own place before getting another. So here he is. Captain Jack! We plan on getting another one here shortly, a black girl. Her name will be Calypso.
