What the.....?!

I either should have paid more attention in my developmental psych class, or taken more of them, so I would know when to expect certain things to come out of my childrens' mouths and know when they can make certain connections.  We were sitting at the dinner table last night and I had forgotten to turn off the TV, which we usually do.  The nightly news was on, and a story came on about Glen Campbell, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.  The anchor was delivering the story and mentioned something about the fact that Glen had been noticing he had short term memory loss for awhile, but that the Alzheimer's diagnosis had been in the last six months. 

I kid you not - Carrie stops mid-chew and exclaims "Short term memory loss!!!  That's what Dory has in Finding Nemo!!" 

I texted Jerry to tell him what had just happened (he was at a business dinner...at Lady & Sons....which I have been begging to go to since we moved here.....but that's another story).  He called me back and thought I was making it up.  No, m'dear, not making it up.  Can't make this kind of stuff up!

Huh? 

How do they remember stuff like that?  Especially since I can't really remember the last time we watched that movie, as everything is all Princess, all the time right now.

Complete Photo Gallery!

Kate emailed me last night to let me know all of our family pics are up!!  Here they are if you are interested....

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Kate is a great photographer and I love that she's now done pictures for us 4 times.  She's soon moving to Atlanta, but perhaps I can convince her to do some shots of us whenever we come up to visit family! 

Family Pictures

It's always LOADS of fun getting everyone ready for family photo shoots.  It generally involves someone pitching a fit, clothes not looking right, and overall confusion (and not necessarily all from the children!).  We had our pics taken this past weekend with Kate Carmack, who's been taking pictures of Carrie since before she turned 1.  I am always happy with her work - she is an amazingly talented young lady, and I hope she'll keep coming back to the Lowcountry once she moves to the big city at least once a year so she can chronicle our little family growing up. 

She's posted a new picture of the fam on her blog: 

There's also a couple of pictures of the girls sprinkled into her home page slideshow (and one of Anna from last year, so that's entertaining!).  You can view the slideshow here. 

I'll be sure to post when all of our pictures are available!
