Marie skiing with l-o-t-s of familial support.
Gotta tell, Uncle Wobby....Jim's brother is simply one of the best skiers I know. He had on telemark skis, which do not have the back of the boot anchored to the ski like alpine skis do. They are much more challenging to ski in as you don't have as much control built in; you better know what you are doing. Also, you must do a lunge with your legs to initiate a turn. Anyways, for whatever reason, these skis and the magic carpet (what you see on the right) just didn't mesh and each and every time he got on the magic carpet, Rob wiped out. To the point that Marie was getting quite put out with him. A good chuckle!

Worst Parent Ever, pt 2

Maybe he needs a nap???

At least we propped his head up with a pillow so it didn't smash onto the counter top.

"Mama, I think I am ready for pointe shoes."

Honestly, I hear this at least once a week. This comes from her idol, Danielle. This summer when we went to Tennessee, Marie met Danielle, one of her China Sisters Big Sister. And Marie...fell in love! So, we watch her Mom's blog for "Danielle Updates" and Marie remembers vividly that Danielle got pointe shoes. And so she wants them too! Here she is practicing.

More Eating With Ty...

No, not a hat, Ty...it is a soup bowl.

Not a mask either.

Don't care, Momma!!!!

Worst Parent Ever

I allowed this. (Well, actually, I dressed him.)

Might be time to go back to work...
