i got quite a few pics.. none of 'mille or amanda since they both hate having their pics taken so kamille makes this sultry/goofy look anytime you point the camera at her and amanda either looks away or looks pissed.. so yeah, i'll be uploading lots of MACY pictures soon.
we went to disney. went to the beach. outside in the pool. we had ice cream like three times. chris was an absolute DEAR with macy, like.. amazing, really. she treats him so sweet now, wanting to hug him and hold his hand and stuff. my chris! such a good boy! incredibly incredibly patient.. this girl, see, she's CRAZY. take your normal 3 y/o and add like 14 espressos, and that's macy. you literally cannot let go of her when you're in public.. i did let go of her for a second in the hotel and she ran right out the front door.. i caught her just as she was entering the valet area. she's just crazy. so when she channels that energy into PLAYING, she's hard to keep up with but chris did.. they gave the cats catnip and the dogs treats and had the dogs do tricks and on and on and on. it was really impressive.
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
