Mystery Solved

So we've been getting pretty good at translating "Marshall-speak" over the past few weeks...

Some are very clear:
1. Mommy
2. Daddy
3. No (very popular with The Marsh)
4. Yes
5. Ana (Ms. Ana is in charge of the infant room at day care)
6. Puppy
7. Apple
8. What's that

Some not so much:
1. tooky - cookie
2. tiky - kitty
3. ayoo - where are you
4. ta too - thank you
5. bobby - bottle
6. be be - beep beep (car)

Well, over the last few weeks a very popular word has been "ehto". Or what sounds like "ehto". He says it numerous times during the day. Initially we thought he might be saying "y tu", which is Spanish for "and you". The girls at day care will talk to him in Spanish so we thought it probably wasn't too far fetched.

Anyway, so I'm picking him up from day care yesterday when he starts to say "ehto" again. Ms. Becky responds "he's not even here." So I have to ask. What the heck is my kid saying??? Turns out he's saying "Angel". There is another little boy at day care named Angel, who, by the way, is a very sweet little boy.

Apparently, whenever something happens, Marshall will say "ehto" as if he is telling them that Angel did it. Except in most cases, Angel is nowhere near the scene of the crime.

Yep... I have that kid...

Closing In...

Do you ever have that feeling that everything is closing in and you're not going to have enough time to get it all done? Well that's where I'm at now. Things have been pretty crazy around here. Work has been obnoxious so I've pretty much been working most nights after The Marsh goes to bed into the wee hours of the morning. Which also means I've only been getting 2 - 3 hours of sleep most nights. I have so many things to do and catch up on around our home, but most weekends I just want to sit around and do nothing. But, on a positive note, we've decided to finally move forward on Operation Home Purchase. We are now working with a realtor and hope to be in a house by the end of the summer. Of course, between Freddy's work and military schedule we don't have too many open weekends to house hunt so we're trying to not be too picky since at some point we'll be able to remodel things that we don't like. We really looking at the space to make sure that will work for us and the location. Once things die down a bit I hope to be able to get back to blogging regularly. Hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day weekend! ~AKO

In a Slump

So I've been in a bit of a blogging slump lately. Everytime I sit in front of my computer I can't really put any words to paper so to speak. It also doesn't help that my mind has been very preoccupied with a lot of things lately. We've had some developments in our family that I'm not ready to share yet but have been taking up some time. And no... we're not pregnant :) But I should be posting again regularly this week. Hope everyone is doing well. ~AKO
