"People often ask me, 'What's the difference between couplehood and babyhood?' In a word? Moisture. Everything in my life is now more moist. Between your spittle, your diapers, your spit-up and drool, you got your baby food, your wipes, your formula, your leaky bottles, sweaty baby backs, and numerous other untraceable sources--all creating an ever-present moistness in my life, which heretofore was mainly dry."-- Paul Reiser

Overalls!!

Okay so I have this overall fetish as of late and I just couldn't resist taking pictures after getting the kids dressed today. I told Rachel to hold Benny up so he wouldn't fall over. She did, like a good big sister...then she let go---TIMMMMMBERRRRR!!! She get's the biggest kick out of watching him fall over - typical 2 year old! Love those BLUE EYED BABIES!!!

Good Luck?!?

Let me start by saying that February was a beast of a month for the Gardner Family. Paul had a lot going on at the seminary trying to wrap up the trimester (parent-teacher conferences, grading, passing out make-up work, calling parents, etc.). My sweet Grandma Watts lost her short battle with cancer and passed away. Then, as if that wasn't enough, we were sick ALL DANG MONTH!! So call me crazy for accepting this as a good luck charm, but I take anything I can get at this point. Monday I was making breakfast for dinner and as I cracked an egg into the bowl pictured above, TWO yolks came out! TWINS! You can see in the picture that the two egg yolks on top are smaller than the two on bottom. Those four yolks came from three eggs. I couldn't believe it. Paul said that happened to him all the time growing up. I don't believe him. Maybe it did, and maybe I'm weird for thinking that this is the coolest most LUCKY thing to happen (I don't get out much okay?!) - but hey like I said, hopefully this is a preview of coming attractions for the month of March, because if March is anything like February was, I'll just skip it and go straight to April, thanks!
