Two things happened today to make me realize how old I am getting.
First, I heard on the news that Madonna's oldest daughter is 12. Madonna almost has a teenager. This was shocking to me. It made me do the math, and I realized that if I went back to the first grade right after graduating from college I would be starting college again this fall.
Second, while I was sleeping I tweeked my ankle. I really tweeked it. I do okay walking on it, but the stairs hurt, and I am surrounded by stairs. The sad thing is I did this IN MY SLEEP. How old am I when I hurt myself just sleeping? This is almost as bad -- but not quite -- as a friend who threw out his back putting on his underwear. He's old too.

I'm Dreaming. . .
=
I have a little insomnia tonight and so, of course, I am thinking about dreaming.
When I was at BYU, I lived in a great house lovingly known as "The Yellow Brick House" because, well, the house was made of yellow bricks.There were eight of us in the house, and it was great! Always something going on; always someone to talk to. And talk we did.
Before the beginning of a new semester, we would all get together and make predictions for the new semester. It was a lot of fun.What an amazing time! When else but in college could the course of your life change every four months!
So what are my dreams now? My friend told me about a house that she looked at once that had a master bedroom closet that was so big it had a washer and dryer in the closet. No more trudging laundry up and down the stairs! I'm dreaming. . .
Oh! Daughters willing to eat the peels on apples. I'm dreaming. . .
A metro stop in Waldorf. Oh, that would be awesome! I'm dreaming. . .
No more contacts. Just being able to see all of the time. I'm dreaming. . .
So, what are you dreaming about?

Big Day For The Cunninghams!
It was a big day for the Cunningham family, today! We went to the National Kite Festival at the National Mall. This is me holding Macey's Barbie kite. Molly is in the stroller.
This is Emma running with her kite, waiting for the wind to whisk it away. She did great!
This is Emma with her Barbie kite.We were getting cold and so we went to the Air & Space Smithsonian and looked at planes and planes and more planes. Then we went to Krispy Kreme for some donuts and Fuddruckers for lunch. Fabulous!
And since it was Molly's 4 Month Birthday, she got to try rice cereal today! This is a before shot. Happy Molly!
This is a during shot. Suspicious Molly.
This is an after shot. Sad Molly.

Picture Day!
Today was FINALLY picture day. We got Emma's 4 year picture taken (since she's almost 4 1/2) Macey's 3 year picture taken (since her birthday was a month ago) and Molly's 3 month picture (since she turns 4 months tomorrow). Alright, I'm a little behind. Above are some of our favorites.

Snob
In November our family welcomed two new additions: Molly Joy Cunningham and our Beautiful Blue Honda Odyssey.
I love them both. But I would like to share a few words about my Honda Odyssey.
It makes me happy. Such a beautiful color of blue. Leather seats that clean up so nicely. Seat warmers that have kept me oh so comfortably warm during these long winter months. A rear view camera that helps me park the car. Dual climate control that has greatly helped my marriage.
I have realized lately, though, that I have become a Honda Odyssey snob. It happens almost everytime I see another van. I think to myself, "Oh, a Sienna. Bummer." Or "A Town & Country. Well, I guess that's an option. . ."
Snobbish, I know. But, I guess I'm just lovin' me some Honda.

The King's Bad Idea
My girls are on a Sleeping Beauty kick. They watch the movie, both have Sleeping Beauty dolls, dress up like Sleeping Beauty. . .They like her a lot.
There is a part of the movie, though, that bothers me. After Aurora/Briar Rose/ Sleeping Beauty (so confusing for my girls!) is threatened by the evil Maleficient, the king demands that all spindles are destroyed.
Doesn't he realize this would ruin the economy? After the great bonfire the cost of clothes must have skyrocketed. And the poor producers of cotton and wool? They must have had goods just rot because no one could do anything with them.
It's all rather disturbing.
