So, it's time for us to jump back on the health bandwagon and quit eating like we're pregnant or breastfeeding. Ugh. I hate this part. We're Southbeaching. Jason has just called me to inform me that it was poor form to leave him at home with 2 children on our first day of south beach with a bag of speciality bread and a "vat of cookies". Oops.
Thornton and I made cookies last weekend. The cake was such a success that I thought we'd try cookies. Also a huge hit. However, I have now created a monster. It doesn't take a two-year-old long to want cookies for breakfast and cake for dinner.

Expressions of Chaos
- Thornton (3.5) to mommy in the shower this morning: "Mommy, did Daddy cut off your penis?" - 2.20.10
- Thornton reminded me this morning of the other day when he got sick and "spit spaghetti out of my mouth" in Nannie's bed (aka puked in his grandmother's bed). Ahhh, the memories of a 3 year old. - 12.26.09
- Holden, if you don't stop whining, your father is going to feed you to the wolves. - 7.29.09
- Thornton, you cannot have cookies for breakfast!
Our Family Mission and Rules to Live By
Our family mission is to grow as a united family through unconditional love and encouragement of each other while supporting family and individual goals to be healthy, happy and positive contributing members to our local and global community.
1. Have a positive attitude
2. Respect yourself and others
3. Be generous and gracious in spirit
4. Do your best every day, every time
5. Make healthy choices for yourself and the world
Our Parenting Philosophy
Above all, our goal is to raise the children to be loving and respectful, and have a passion for living! We don’t pretend to know how to be the best parents; we are making it up every day! Every day we learn new things, and we know you will too. No one is perfect; the point is to do your best with love in your heart.
We think the best way to raise the children at this age is to stick to a general schedule, allow for some flexibility, keep them active, and be consistent with discipline. We’re relatively laid back parents allowing “boys to be boys.” This means allowing rough and tumble play, climbing, playing with sticks, loud noises, etc. However, we do not tolerate any malicious violence to others (hitting, biting, etc). The boys should be respectful when speaking to adults and should be helpful. We focus on the positive, giving lots of encouragement, hugs, and positive reinforcement when things are going well. We also make sure the boys are encouraging each other when they do something well. You can never give too many hugs and kisses at our house.
