What Fruit is It?

If you've talked to us lately you know we try to get Laurel to talk to all of you. She's usually too shy when people are around so we're posting her talking here. In this clip we are identifying the fruits on our kitchen poster.

You know you're an adult when...

You ask for laundry shelves for your birthday. Washers and dryers in Florida are generally found in the garages of the homes. I thought it was strange when I first moved to Florida (but I guess we don't have to worry about our dryers heating our already hot/humid dwellings that we pay megabucks to keep cool). I told Weston that we could purchase our home if he would agree to build me laundry shelves. He agreed..... and now I finally have them. With our crazy lives it has only taken 2.5 years! For the past 4 months we have been fighting the ants in our garage. They are horrible. I think they are lured in by the food that is sometimes found on Laurel's clothes. They seem to have eaten numerous holes in our clothing. It drives me crazy. We started using the shelves Nov. 22 and we are ant free!!! The laundry shelves may be a solution to our problem, but with time we may find there is another cause (washer defect?). Those ants have really been bothering me, so when Weston asked me what I wanted for my birthday I was already prepared with my answer. He spent the weekend of my birthday working on them. He did the finishing touches during the Thanksgiving break. I am so proud of my handy, intelligent husband who knows how smart it is to listen to my qualifications and then create my vision. Thanks Weston!!!
