Wanted: Marker for Cap

Milo has a cool drawing book that uses dry erase markers. He rocks at tracing and creating new pictures.

Two weeks ago, he got a new marker. That night, all we could find was the
cap. The marker was M.I.A.

Yesterday, Joey brought us the marker. As he is still limited on the verbal side, we have no idea where it hid.

Makes you kinda wonder what else that little kid might be hiding...

Taking it like a man

This Friday, I witnessed Milo take a head-on collision with some playground equipment. He split open his forehead- that with the nose bleed meant a ton of blood. It was all very dramatic.

We headed to the ER and Milo was cool, mellow. He got five stitches, and yelled the whole time, which you can't blame him. It looked really painful. (The best thing he yelled was "I don't like this, this is WEIRD!")

Stitches come out on Tuesday. We're going to treat the scar so it's not too noticeable. But, we all know that girls like boys with scars!

First Family Pic in the New Place

On Tuesday we met our friends Sunjae and Chunee for dinner. Sunjae just finished his MBA studies at UT and he and his wife will be returning to Korea on Monday.

It will be sad to see them go, but we're glad we got a chance to see them before they left. Sunjae was one of Milo and Joey's biggest fans.

Here's a pic of all of us at the new place...

Milo Good - Real Estate Consultant

So tonight we were moving a few things over to the new place and doing a couple of loads of laundry. Milo and Joey were enjoying running around the empty condo.

Without warning, Milo stopped in his tracks and said "Hey, there's no TV!"

Monsters vs Aliens vs Milo & Joey

Today marked a milestone for Milo and Joey...

The boys got to see their very first movie inside an actual theater and they boys did great! Sure, Joey got scared a couple of times and Milo refused to wear his 3D glasses, but there was no screaming, crying, spanking, or anything. Oh, and their little 30 pound butts were not heavy enough to keep the flip-up seats down... but still, it was almost like we were a normal family!

Without Getting Specific

Milo said a bad word today at school.

When Irene told me about it we decided to tell Milo that if he did that again we were going to have to take away his Eminem cd's.

In no uncertain terms

This month we bought our very first piece of property: a condo about 2 miles down the road. There's a lease-back, so we haven't moved in yet. This information has proved to be confusing to both the kids.

On Friday, we needed to drop by the new place and get some mail. In the car, we attempted to vow the kids to acting really good.

Daddy: Milo, can you say you're going to be really good?

Milo: I'm going to be really good!

Daddy: Joey, can you say you're going to be really good?

*pause*

Joey: NO!

(For the record, they were really pretty good!)
