Friday

"I know what you guys are doing!"

Sunday night we were enjoying some family time in front of the tv with Tehya laying on one couch and Dan and I on the other. Dan had his arm around my shoulders and we were relaxing before heading back to work Monday morning.

All of a sudden Tehya asked "What are you guys doing?"

Dan replied with "What does it look like we are doing?"

She was quiet for a few moments and then said "I know what you guys are doing."

So I asked the question, "What are we doing honey?"

"You are doing SEX!!!!!" she says and starts giggling like a crazy person.

Dan and I about fell off the couch while biting our toungues to keep from laughing - how in the world did our sweet little 3 year old Tehya come up with this? How does she know this word? Does she know what sex is? Oh my gosh do we have to have "the talk" with her now? My head was spinning like a top. I am so not ready for this part of parenthood.

"Well Tehya, Mommy and Daddy are just cuddling" Dan says, I think trying to end the entire conversation. "Would you like to come join us?"

"That's GROSS dad!" she spouts back with a disgusted look on her face. "Sex is really gross!"

Boy do I hope she still thinks so at 16!

Wednesday

Tehya the Artist



One of Tehya's favorite things to do is to play on her art easel. She tells us she is working on her projects and that it is very important that she does not get interupted, so this is one of the few pictures I have been able to capture of her "working" without her growling at me! Painting is her favorite (and messiest) past time, but she also enjoys the whiteboard and chalkboard options her easel offers her. Maybe we have a budding Picasso on our hands!

Tuesday

Jacob Graduates!

Jacob graduates from Saint Johns University with a double major

Jacob with mom and big sister - the two proud ladies in his life!

Even Tehya got in on the action and wanted to hold Uncle Jacob's diploma for the picture! (Dan was our photographer for the day)
