The joys of moving.

this is disgusting. here we see the garden variety cockroach, ( bil arabi, sorsar) this thing was in my bedroom closet when I was packing it up. I did a "grooss, bug!" dance and took a picture of it. Then, I promptly smooshed it with a napkin and threw it away. I am so glad to be out of that roach infested ghetto dump. BTW, have I mentioned I love my new place? It is huge (for a duplex) has a backyard, new carpet, and the two best things: I have cable and broadband. No more crappy dial up! Woo Hoo, ilhamdulillah! The down side of the new place: there is a mouse. Oh well I will take a mouse over roaches any day.

Ayman biffed it.

We were coming back from dinner, walking in the parking lot of our apartment complex, and the baby fell down. No major injuries, as you can see he seems happy, but boy was it drama at the time. I was laughing, and he got so mad he reached over my shoulders for his daddy. I was persona non grata. Oh well, what can ya do?
Ok, let me say this, I know I have been super crappy about posting lately. There are several reasons for this. Here they are in no particular order.
I went on vacation recently, to LA and San Diego.
I have been dealing with work.
I caught a cold.
I am lazy.
my connection sucks, which will change soon when I get broadband (thanks god.)
and the #1 reason, (for this week at least)
I am moving next week.

So bear with me there will be pictures of my trip down south soon to follow.

Waiting for the Disney shuttle bus with Mommy.

 Our hotel didn't have a shuttle so we rode Anaheim resort transit to the Park. He loves to watch the traffic. he has his arm around me in this picture because a noisy truck drove by and scared him.

What a funny Mommy.

 Rare form, at dinner.

That Babys' new and improved weird squinchy face

 I don't know where he gets his hammy-ness from. It is a total mystery.

Funny Mommy Part II- You Crack Me Up

 Still part of that dinner in Downtown disney. He pulled out all the stops, lemme tell ya.

Ayman and his new friend, Phoebe, at Frontierland In Disneyland.

 Phoebe is so cute. She has a great temperament, and is as cute as can be. She is a few months younger than Ayman, and about 1/2 his weight. Light as a feather compared to my solid little man.

Seriously, we DO have a grip on this motherhood thing....i think.

 Daphne, Phoebe, Ayman and Cass in back of the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. We look a little, is harried the word i am looking for? Hmmmmm....

My Mom loves me.

 I love this picture, it is just toooo sweet. Motherhood is sooo great. That sounded cheesy, but it is true. C'mon, you all know what i mean, admit it.

After a hard day of Disney, Ayman shows he is still ready to party.

  I like my moms' legs sticking out too, that is cool. Again with the Hammy-ness.

Smed and Fish together again.

 I miss Fish....Out of all the people i met in the Navy, I liked fish best, hence the reason i made time to see her again while in the San Diego area.
