Misty the Guinea Pig

This weekend we had another 4 legged creature visit our home. Lawson's class Guinea Pig, Misty. It was our turn to take care of her and the kids were overjoyed to have her visit. At first I was a little bit leery, worried, scared, but it was a wonderful experience. Lawson did an excellent job remembering the rules of caring for Misty and all that it entailed.

Here are some pictures of our visitor. Lawson was SO EXCITED!!


Lawson really is such a nurturer!!


Watching Misty...


Wesley he just loved saying "hi, guiny pi, hi!!"


These guys were so gentle with her!!



This experience reminded me of when I had 2 Hamster (at two different times) lovingly called "Fluffy Cotton Kenna" and "Bandit" it is fun to have a creature, but I could tell the kids are NO WAY ready for an caged creature because the newness of Misty wore off by Saturday. I could totally see mommy (me) being stuck cleaning the cage. So with that revelation Thanks Mom and Dad for letting me have a hamster and cleaning out their cages when I got too busy to do it!!! You guys are the best!

Uncle Ryan's Visit

Last week Uncle Ryan came to visit. The kids had such a good time during his short visit. After work we went to the pool and Ryan almost got Lawson to go off the diving board. She was a little bit intimidated but next year I don't think it will be an issue. Wes was his cool self and flirting with all of the ladies.

The next morning Lawson wanted to wake up Ryan. Ryan says we awoke to Lawson staring at him sucking her finger. A little startling I am sure. As fast as he got here was as fast as Uncle Ryan was gone. We do not see Ryan all that often but it makes me so happy that Lawson loves him so much!!


Ryan followed us out of the neighborhood and I rolled down the windows when we made our separate turns. Ryan was waving and so was Lawson. Well Lawson didn't like it that Uncle Ryan left and she didn't get to give him another hug and kiss. She cried the rest of the way to daycare. It was so sad but cute at the same time. Love you Uncle Ryan!!
