SICNEDIOEGFNRLY, SOMEONE YOU DONT KNOW!

Happy Frog Socky Socks

Yes, you read the title right. They're known 'round here as the Happy Frog Socky Socks. These get broken out when Sangye feels the urge to slide and wiggle on the tile and then purposely fall onto the bed. Oh, and laugh with great satisfaction. Tejan started the game and Sangye has taken over this particular pair of socks. They are mostly a riot to watch in the endeavor....I'm such a proud mama.

Artist at Work

For Father's Day, Tejan painted this large picture on foam board for Christian. It's our family under a gigantic rainbow. Chris and I are constantly blown away by, not only her beautiful work, but the quickness with which she formulates an idea and then makes it a reality. Really, she's so fast in her application. Each piece she does has so much love and care in it. For me, they are worth money. We had a great Father's Day, it was sunny and we played "survivor family" outside, as Tejan calls it. She has been inspired by Man vs. Wild to pretend our survivor-ship in the wild and woolly yard. It's hilarious and fun. Love to Christian for being such a great daddy. Love to Tejan for brightening up everyone's world and for being the most amazing daughter we could have ever dreamed of.

Yeah, but where's Mrs. Potato Head?

So, no, Sangye did not eat Mrs. Potato Head. He simply can't resist borrowing her hot spectacles. This is behaviour that drops me to my kness in adoration. He's such a hilarious little dude. His newest antics involve swimming alone with floaties on, throwing things accurately and with tremendous force, jumping side to side, cooking (he's a real chef), and trying out new words and phrases with gusto. Life is fun when you're with this little man. Love to the Sangye.

Scenes of May

I feel like I have gripped a lot of how crappy May was. But when I trekked back through the images of May, I realized that amidst the turmoil, we had ourselves some fun. Here is Sangye really getting into water painting....

And Tejan playing with her great friends, Zach and Sangye!

We had a Mother's Day celebration at Daytona beach, with harmony on the way there...

And great friends to share the day with...

Not to mention a sweet trip to Busch Gardens with our friends, the Gordons...

and Christian and Jay managed to finagle a Rays' game!

(They won that game by the way!)

And last, certainly never the least, the arrival of our new Fluffernutter, Ju Ju Bee...

So, in retrospect, May was ok, minus a few things. :) Looking for the joy, and never really looking back to hard. June is so bright and things are all right!

Love to you.

Meet Ju Ju Bee Jorn!

She's the coolest kitteh on the block!

   

Last Monday we got this part Siamese kitten and named her Ju Ju Bee. Of course her last name is Jorn, naturally. But she has come to us in a time of hardship and has brought lots of love, laughter, smiles, and giggles, where else it may have been a bit somber. Our family has been dealing with illness for the past month and she is our antidote. :)

Some of her nicknames include but are not limited to: Kittenbritches, Ju Bee, JB, Ms. Fluffernutter, Skippito Friskito. And Sangye calls her meow.

Sangye had a Birthday!

Wish I could have posted on his actual birthday, March 19, but you know how that goes! We had a celebration with Grandmommy the weekend before his big day, and then another celebration with Los Abuelos the weekend after. As you can see from the pictures, a good time was had by all. 

On his actual birthday, Christian and I reflected on the memory of his birth, which most of you know was a frightening experience, mixed with the joy of new life. There were lots of tears, first of old fear, then, of profound joy for new life, continued health and happiness, and the appreciation of every day we have to live together. May all beings realize the fragility and preciousness of the present moment. It's all that exists. 

So, here's to our two year old, 

SANGYE TENZIN JORN. He came forth with power and continues life with zany curiosity and full-time love. We love you Sangye, and all you who read this too.
