The happy threesome

This is the newest and most up to date picture of the Moyle family. Ellie is now five months, 24 inches and over 13 lbs.

Mark abandon me to go hangout with the other groupies in his BMS (Biomedical Sciences) program. It is a three-day yearly event up at Lake Arrowhead. They played volleyball, and inner tube water polo, sang karaoke and I think they did some scientific-ish things as well. Since there was lots of sun and no water (aka no surfing and wetsuit) Mark came home nice and red. Mark was excited when he heard his whole class may get an A+ in the class because of the stats professor’s challenge. If any of the students drank a beer faster than him, then the whole class got A’s. Unfortunately, the professor may not remember that he lost but I am sure the students will remind him.

I had a chance to stay here and bond a lot with Ellie. She is growing up really fast. She loves to stand up and can stay there for quite a while just grasping onto our two fingers. Her laugh is contagious and makes me smile and forgive her for continuously spitting up on everything. She is still toothless although there is a lot of drooling going on. We had dinner group with the Sabeys, and Badgers on Saturday and Ellie sucked on watermelon for the first time. She loved it and sucked it white. We are going to attempt veggies next… She doesn’t mind the oatmeal but it more than messy.

Needless to say, I was very grateful when Mark returned home. Life if a lot more fun in our three-some!

This is just a little taste. Well, I did actually get a mouth full of pudding and it wasn't to bad. Then the nasty mixture started to dry on my skin. Great times!

Mother's Day Special

How is life on the World Wide Web treating you this fine day? On this Mother’s Day I think it is appropriate to leave a special note for Ellie’s mother and mine, and then a moment of laughter from Ellie so we can remember what makes motherhood truly wonderful. Enjoy the thoughts and then the laughter.

Motherhood
A Taste of the Divine

A mother hugs when the world’s got you down
She lifts and pulls at your persistent frown.

That scraped knee which made you sad
When kissed by mom seems not so bad

Her smile for you when you did your best
Drowns out compliments from all the rest

At night she helped you pray by your bed
And opened your favorite book and read

From the day your were born she gave you it all
Even when you grew nice and tall

Her life, her strength, her time, and love
A heavenly angel sent from above

To all the mothers, especially Ellie’s and mine
We send out this thank you rhyme

We love you MOM!!!
