When asked what we should name the armadillo, RJ promptly responded, "Crab."
And so it is.
This is for Robby.

Eyes on the Kid and the Dog.
This is one of my all time favorite things to do with my Peanut in the backyard. We're playing frisbee with Hanky and RJ is running back and forth chasing her one frisbee that's exited stage right.
The funniest thing is watching the kid and the dog. Sometimes they'll nearly collide and they always squeeze their eyes closed as if they don't want to watch it themselves. Good thing I'm the witness that's laughing my head off on the sidelines. I know this says something about my personality, but I'm not sure what. I'm watching and laughing with my eyes wide open.

Baby Clothes
We've been sorting out baby clothes to hand down to friends and Rosa Jane insists that's she's not too big to wear this 6-9mos outfit. Couldn't get the back snapped, nor could she really walk in the skirt. Hilarious.
It's amazing how much she loves her old baby things and wants to try them all on.
In other news, we're potty trained and have been so for about a month. It's a huge event in the world of toddler-dom. I just haven't felt it was necessary to detail every lovin' story here of our successes and failures. I will say that Dora, Shrek and My Little Pony's played a huge roll in motivating the kid.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo
Oh, Man! What a week it has been. We headed into the weekend facing some bad news in the technology department. The MyBook we bought from Costco to backup the computer that crashed right after our move two years ago totally went the way of the doodoo bird. That's right. All the information went up in smoke, too. So if you can think of anything monumental that happened between the years of 2003 - 2006 in the Roedner home, well, it's all gone byebye. That includes snippet movies of the peanut and all those thousands and thousands of photos. All that's left really are the videos we share on Vimeo and the photos we store on Flickr. Sure it's not really a back up, but at least they are accessible?
The good news is I have CRS (can't remember s***) disease and can't remember what all was on the drive without looking at it.
Now we're patiently awaiting a Drobo which is supposed to make all my backup problems of the past disappear in a flash.
In the meantime, I've done some pretty stupid stuff around the house... like mixed my own Oxyclean mixture and left it out on the counter. The solution fissed out of the container over night and wrecked our hardwoods by the sink. And when we had company coming over and hot margaritas, i put the glass bottle in the freezer to quick chill it. Guess who forgot about it and was reminded sweetly by her darling husband three days later.
Bring on some good news!

Playing Hoops on the Ranch
This morning was perfect for hanging out on the porch watching the kids run and jump and laugh and play. It seems just as our group of friends has grown closer, summer approaches and new groups will form. I think each of us is kicking and screaming a little bit about that.
I'm quite sure we didn't pick up that behavior from our toddlers.
Being in the country reminds me again and again how much I love the solitude of it and cringe when I think of my kid going to big public schools. I certainly don't want a private alternative... Just more rural, perhaps. But then I wouldn't see my new 'city' friends and that wouldn't be any good at all.
Enjoy the pics.
