"I" is for Imagination

It was a normal afternoon. I was slaving over a giant pile of dirty dishes. Next door in my bedroom, my baby had finally fallen asleep. It was so quiet! Wait, too quiet. Where were my 4 year-old and 2 year-old? And what were they up to? The thoughts had barely skimmed across my mind when out of the corner of my eye I saw some movement and heard two giggling girls. One said, "Mommy, don't I look so beautiful?" and then laughed. I tore myself from my project and instead of my 4 year-old, I saw a "superhero princess" who told me that her super powers were to "save the world from bad guys and bugs".



Welcome to my wonderful life! In a matter of seconds, my stresses of being a mother of 3 young children suddenly melted away and I was transported (no doubt by my daughter's superhero powers) to a more carefree life where laughter and play trumped everything else.

How come I have the coolest friends?

One of my friends, Annelise, sent me some awesome bags that she had made for the girls and also a diaper bag for Euan with a matching burp rag. Thanks Anna! (Sorry no pics of the diaper bag. It is the coolest! Check out some that you could buy for yourself: go to kodakgallery.com and type in the username:adesign.bags@yahoo.com, password:adesignbags) You are so talented Anna! I'm a lucky girl.

Life Hands You a Lemon? Make Lemonade...

Just after Euan was born (sometime in July), Scott's sister and Bro-In-Law threw a serious pity PARTY! Thanks for letting us swim in your sweet pool! Here is some of the evidence...

Who doesn't love being a pirate?

This is Sidra's:

My pirate name is:

Captain Mary Cash

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!

And here is Scott's:

My pirate name is:

Dirty Tom Bonney

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

We're still here

Sorry we have been MIA for a while. Three kids has helped us see a whole new meaning to the word "busy". I wanted to quickly post some pictures I took of Euan's baby blessing and some other pictures from the beginning of August (at about 6 weeks old).
Euan is huge. At his 2 month appointment he was almost 15 pounds (95th percentile). He is developing such a fun personality. He's not as temperamental as Meili was, but not as easy going as Sophie was either. Somewhere in the middle. Well, I have to catch a moth that got into the house so Meili will stop freaking out (temperamental) and go to bed. I'll try to find more time to get on this blog and catch you up on the lives of the Morrises...

Baby Euan at almost 2 weeks!

Here is a follow-up on the prego pics of Priscila and I. We had an extended family party last weekend and here are the pictures of her son Samuel, and our Euan. Samuel was about a month and Euan wasn't quite 2 weeks and they both were 8 lbs and about the same length! Yep, he's a big boy! And the proud great-grandma!

Here are the proud grandmas. Euan's grandma (Scott's mom) is on the left, and Scott's aunt is on the right holding Samuel.


The proud grandma and the doting niece, Morgan.

Baby Euan!

He is here! Baby Euan Scott Morris was born June 24th at 6:16 pm and was 8 lbs. 4 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. His mommy, sisters, and daddy are very happy to have him here, especially after the doctor discovered his cord was in a true knot. All the nurses called him the little miracle baby! Here are some pictures from the hospital, including our first pictures of our awesome doctor who delivered Meili and Sophia too, Dr. Young.
