Baby Koala

Alex has an alter ego. His name is "Baby Koala". When Alex becomes Baby Koala, I automatically am referred to as "Mama Koala". Baby Koala has a dual personality. He can be very sweet and cuddly, but at times turns into Angry Koala, like in this picture... Angry Koala is slightly frightening, but oh how I love my sweet Koala...

Sweet Koala rubs his paw on his cheek and says, "Errrrrrr". Sweet Koala likes to nuzzle and nip at my neck, which is very cute but also slightly awkward when you're in public, and people are probably wondering why a 4 year old boy has an opened mouth on his mother's neck. We try to encourage Baby Koala to stay home and let Alex take his place when we go out!

20 Years and Counting

Steve and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary last week. Twenty years sounds like a long time, in fact it means I've now been married for half my lifetime, but it sure doesn't feel like it's been that long.

Here is a picture of us when we were dating. The early 90's just weren't all that cute. We sure thought we were pretty cute at the time though. Yikes!

It's definately been quite a ride of ups and downs through the years, but Steve has always been there for me and I'm so proud of the man that he has become. Can't wait to see what we look like in another 20 years... ok, that was a blatant lie, I'm desperately trying to grasp on to my "youth". Perhaps I should just say that I'm looking forward to what lies ahead. Here's to twenty more!
