Hall of mirrors

This blog is a mixture of our travel adventures and our new family adventures.
The title comes from a dumb blonde high school girl on a tour with us in Versailles who asked this question in every single room of the Palace.
The picture was taken while on our Honeymoon in China, on the Xian river.

Happy 6th birthday Ares

Ares chose a Lego party this year. 

Ares Turns SIX!!!

Every year I ask Ares the same set of questions to see how his answers change. This is last year.  Here's two years ago.   I realize these are very juvenile questions, and will have to change them as he gets older, but for right now, I'm happy with this, and his answers.  I'll probably say this in a whole bunch of posts, but MAN, this kid is so much fun.   It's crazy how his answers have changed. He still has the same set of friends, for the most part, but his answers are more decisive now.  He doesn't look to me if he has the right answers or not anymore.  His favorite game went from board game to video game, he's a goof, and we love him so much.  Here's to hoping that 6 is a less... trying time than 5 was.   The age of 5 was rough.  
  1. What is your favorite color?  Red. 
  2. What is your favorite toy?  Legos
  3. What is your favorite fruit? Strawberry

Photo Dump March 2015

Crazy hair day

I let daddy give him a mohawk for one day.  He was so giddy.  Even more so when I put product and color in it.   :)  is already cut off.  24 hours later,  but i got cool points for letting him wear it to school for their crazy hair day.

Mid Recovery

Today the tape came off!  Thank goodness, it was getting so itchy!  It doesn't look as bad as I was expecting.   I still get stares at the stores though. 

The other pictures are from a week after. Not bad for 7 and 11 days after surgery. :)
