well, with all the trauma here at the marshall house we are pleased to tell you that we are still laughing and still getting into mischief! i woke up the other morning to a foreign noise outside my bedroom window. our friends had handed down a small trampoline and to my surprise, upon looking out the window, i found my shirtless son bouncing to his hearts content. this wouldn't be too funny but the boy had a full popsicle in his hand... it was only 8am! i wish i could have captured this moment but, as i went downstairs to grab the camera, the popsicle was gone and he had stopped jumping. later, i questioned his behavior and he simply rolled his head back and shouted "butthey'resoooooogoooood"! that same day i found a surprise with our georgia. you see, i spent the better part of sunday afternoon coaxing, bribing, restraining and frustrating georgia trying to paint her little tiny toes. no luck - at all. so upon unbuckling her from her car seat after a rushed morning to get andrew to school, she proudly pointed to her toes and said "toes mama, toes" i caught a look and started laughing. the reason she was so proud? she had painted her toes herself, with the dry erase markers. i'm guessing this happened in the 5 seconds i decided to take a shower earlier that morning! as you can see, even with all the uncertainty and not knowing what is going on with georgia, she has kept her personality alive and she and her brother keep reminding us of what is important and the bigger picture that is life. it's being a family, smiling at the silly things that come and to not obsess about things we can't control.
