15 Month Madness

So, I am hoping to get caught up on blog posts one of these days! Until then, I thought that it would be appropriate to share this video.



I promise, I was only trying to get a video of Graham asking for "more, please". What I ended up with is 1:30 which completely encapsulates our life with a 15 month old! From showing the belly button, to scaling the shelves, to sitting on the cat, to tripping over his own two feet, not to mention the odd assortment of "treasures" found all over the kitchen floor, this is life for us now! And boy, are we having fun!!!!

The New Addition

Without further ado, we proudly introduce the newest member of the Reece Household...



Yes, that is a for real dishwasher. I am beyond excited!!! Since leaving my parents house almost 16 years ago, I have yet to live somewhere with a dishwasher. So, when Chris and I found a portable dishwasher on Craig's List today, we jumped!

We got it home and were so thrilled by the prospect of not handwashing the sink full of dishes, that we immediately put it right to work; only to discover that the floater (apparently a really important piece) had become dislodged during the move and was now wedged upon and melted to the heating element! ARGH!!! Thankfully, we were able to extricate it from the bottom, return it to it's rightful place (slightly disfigured, but functional), and are now listening to the pleasant hum of something else doing my job!!! I am loving it, and already dreaming about the time saved and the time earned to play with the most adorable, almost 15 month-old ever! Just one more example that it is the simple things in life that bring the greatest joy!
