Mark

Taylor is getting into everything and going everywhere. Her new favorite thing to do is to pull herself up to reach everything off of the coffee table. She loves to knock everything off of it and then put it all in her mouth. I think it's time to say goodbye to the coffee table.
She has been scooting around but last night she was off to the races. She was exploring everywhere and off course Tyson had to crawl around with her. Here is the downstairs bathroom.



Poor Mark has a room on the ground floor and for some reason the kids would not leave him alone last night.


Mark's bathroom.


I took Taylor and Tyson out and put them in the living room, 2 seconds later where were they? Mark's room.


Mark was charging his electric wheelchair and the battery pack hums. I guess it is fascinating to children.


Taylor in turtle mode. She had tried to climb on the battery pack and tumbled over.

The poor man can't catch a break. Even the dog won't leave his room alone. Mark uses a balloon to hit while he does his physical therapy exercises with his staff and the dog is OBSESSED with balloons. She sits and whines at his door if it's closed and if it's open she comes in and stares the balloons down.

Mark has officially lived with us a year. I wonder if he regrets his decision. Mark has never lived with children and now he has 2 that are bothering his old man way of life. (not to mention the crazy dog.) It's been a long year but we are glad we have Mark as part of our family.

  1. I don't know how you do it. You are an incredible woman. Mark will just have to realize that it is like siblings. Everyone is always into each others stuff (no matter what the age). Isn't that what family is all about though - compromise. He seems very happy. Time flys when you are living life!

  2. Yep- coffee tables are usually the first to go! We had to get our out when Austin (at 10 months? maybe 11 months but before a year) would pull himself onto the coffee table and try to jump to the couch! You know I don't do blood!

  3. Give Nickel a balloon. You're heartless.
