This is an attempt to get myself to blog. I'm not officially starting to blog again, just warming up. However, after various conversations with Unicorn, Isa, and The Queen, I feel like I should pick up blogging again. I went to Unicorn's the other night; she was worried that she and T would be in the basement putting the babies to sleep and unable to hear the door. So, as a good wife would do (which by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of The Good Wife) she instructed T to write a note and put it on the door. This was T's note:
Isa & Tian Tian
If you are reading this, it means we are putting the children to sleep. We may not be able to hear you knock. But not to fear Walter will bark if he sees you which will alert us. He is however in Jeff's office to your right. Maybe knocking on his window will alert us sooner.
As for now while you wait, enjoy some of Jo's and Millie's fantastic coloring skills found here. (followed by arrows pointing to various scribbles on the paper)
Now, unfortunately, I never got to see this note when I arrived. What I read was the following by Unicorn:
Hello there!
We are still tucking in babies, be up in a min.
Walter is locked up, so please just come in and be at home!
Unicorn
As a good husband would do, T wrote the note and then sought Unicorn's approval which obviously was not given. "She ought to have just done it herself." I only noticed T's first note when leaving because the note was still taped on the glass door and I could see there was writing on the other side. Isa and I had a good laugh at comparing the two notes. I'm not sure why it was so funny to us.

YAY! You're posting again! Angie and I were recently lamenting the loss of your wit and humor that we would get on the blog. But it's so good to see a post again!
P.S. You have to come down to TX again and spend some time with us. We'll bribe you if necessary. ;)
I don't know who this Andtheknee person is but the presumption! That all it takes to get you to TX is a simple invitation and/or a bit of bribery......pffffft!
Funny story about the peeps btw.
When it comes to words: Economy, economy, economy. Why take twenty-five words to say what ten do?
I never thought I hear Unicorn say we should be economical in our word usage. Motherhood must change people in all sorts of ways.
But what does T think?
You know, when I saw that note on the door I thought "Oh, okay." and then I hesitated, because I always have the secret dread that what I assume is for me (A friendly wave, a cookie, a seat, etc.) is actually meant for someone completely different (e.g. the person behind me). I walked in the house with trepidation. Then, Unicorn's Dad walked in and I blurted "HiI'mShelleyandTrevor'sfriendThey're
puttingthebabiestosleepsoI'mjustwaitinghere!" And what I really meant was: "Please, I'm not a burglar or escapee from an institution. Notice my polite manners and sincere face!"
