Shuttle Astronauts Wait for Night Launch

Shuttle Astronauts Wait for Night Launch

After Nick and Corinne watched a replay of the night launch a couple nights ago, Nick quickly retrofited the livingroom for a night launch of their own.

"Mommy, am I green or tan?"

At pre-school pick-up just after getting off the spinning tire swing...

Corinne's 1st Nightmare

"Daddy-ya*, sharks, dianasaurs and alligaters, why is it they are not here?"

* Corinne refers to us as Mommy & Daddy. However, when she becons us from her room, she calls out "Mommy-ya!" or "Daddy-ya!".

"If you are not a good dad, I am going to put you in a cage with an angry polar bear."

That would get me to straighten out my dad act...

My favorite picture taken by our Luxembourg friends who today celebrate Sentencia in Bogotá, Colombia for their second child. They were there to get their first child, Andres, when we were presented Corinne. Congrates Nadine!

"I have LOTS of them."

Corinne's answer to Dad's question:
"Do you have a boyfriend?"

Start worrying...

"I'm gonna make up a whole new plan for you guys."

Corinne informed us of this at dinner time. We have been feeling the effects of her "new plan" since she came to us...and we feel blessed to be part of her "plan".

Corinne Morning Drop Off w/ "Rosenberg"

Corinne gets the special escort treatment from neighbor Pauline Rosenberg, otherwise known to Corinne as "Rosenberg".

"I am taped together with You [Daddy] and You [Mommy] and Nick."

That made us smile.

"I need something pink and squeeky to have fun."

Corinne on the phone with Mom in NYC after she already purchased the rememberances...

"Mommy, there's some kind of weird toy that I don't know...But they're coming to Burger King! YAY!"

Yup, doesn't matter what it is, as long as it comes in a Happy Meal.

"Boys, Boys, BOYS! Listen to me!"

When playing with Nick and his friend Sam, Corinne has no problem letting them know who is really in charge.

"Someday, we should visit the painters at their house."

Corinne has taken to sporting Paddington's sweater as a cap. Look for this to be next rage in a preschool near you!

Not such a good photo merge of two different photos (Corinne isn't actually BIGGER than Nick quite yet!), but kind a cute nevertheless...

"♪When I go to school, you will miss me. ♬ And you won't have any kids...Ha -ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Well, she must know we adore her, but she clearly needs to work out a different taunt...
