M3 has a 3M Moment

I can't remember the exact story, but somehow M3 ended up with his jacket on backwards. Of course we zipped him up and took pics.

"Sure I'll smile for a picture!"

"What's so funny, Daddy?"

Nicknames

M1 is our oldest blessing. Her main nickname is "DQ" which stands for Drama Queen. She can also be called "Harley" due to the sounds that escape her tuckus at randomly inconvenient moments.

M2 is our second blessing. Her first nickname was "BP" which stands for 'boy preview' (she was much more rough-n-tumble than M1). M2's nickname now is "Tonka" b/c she's 'Tonka tough'...she takes a lot of pride in this fact.

Marco the dog is often called "Marco Barko" for obvious reasons. Yes, we use to have a "Polo" but he was not a good fit with our family so we gave him to a cousin. Now Polo is not a good fit with another family.

'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub - then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.' 'Oh, I understand,' said the visitor. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.' 'No' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?'
