INTRODUCING....The Duck!

It does sort of look like one doesnt it? Well, at least Charlie thinks so.
We found this week that "The Duck" is a baby sister!  She is set to make her arrival on September 13th, but Charlie was 11 days late so we will see if she takes after her sister on timeliness. The timing of the baby sister is also a little confusing for CM.  She woke up the other day and said, "Is baby sister coming today?" 

We are super excited and have visions of two little sisters in our heads. I keep having a dream of CM performing to her- finally a captive audience! Additional bonuses: we dont have to rename the blog (just pluralize it:) and hand-me- downs!!!!

The duck (at 18weeks), the mama and the boo.

A Girl and her Guitar

This little lady loves, loves her guitar.  She walks around all day playing and singing and songwriting.  We go to the Moxie Spot, a kids place around the corner, on Tuesdays for sin-along.  She insisted on bringing her guitar.

Playing on the walk. She collected a few pennies and lots of smiles.

Following singer Loyd's every move.
