The good the bad and the ugly!

Yesterday afternoon we went out to the camp and before going there Rose E signed are we taking the Ranger four wheeler?(she made-up her own sign for Ranger) so since we hadn't planned on taking it out yesterday today we took her for her first long journey on it. I just had to snap this first picture of them walking with their helmets on, they reminded me of little bobble heads! The next one is of Rose E ready for take-off and the last two are taken up past Mohawk. It was just breathtaking! Walter of course was ecstatic to see some old mining ruins and Rose E talked to me the whole time saying "see" and then would sign tree or flower or point to something that is until she fell asleep.
It was also cute yesterday at the camp she was looking-up at the clouds and said "kitty" (a few nights ago we read a book where the kids where finding shapes in the clouds and I couldn't believe she made that association). Everyday she, we'll I should say they amaze me! Yesterday when I was changing her she started to rub her tummy and said "belly." Thank goodness she has been a happy camper because we counted today and this poor girl is getting in six teeth at once!
We also have added another piece of furniture to our decor, an old armoire (I'll have to post a picture later). After our home tour we took out our t.v in our living room and decided to get rid of our entertainment center. Anyway for a month we have debated about what to do, if we wanted to bring a t.v back in there or not and what to put it in so it doesn't stand out so much with our furniture. We liked the idea of having something antique and being able to close it off so we went with the armoire and got a new flat screen t.v and entertainment center to go in it. I am pleased with how it looks. Walter made me laugh though when we bought it he said "does that t.v play cartoons?"
Well the good also comes with the bad and the ugly because after we set-up our t.v we decided to go rent a movie, which we haven't done in ages. Needless to say we never came home with a movie because as we where heading-up the calumet hill and a deer ran right into our van. Their was no way to avoid it. It did some serious damage to our grill, headlights as well as the front section. Our poor van and that poor deer.

yikes! I heard about the van. Glad nobody was hurt. I imagine that would shake up the kids a bit though!

For a couple of days Walter has been talking about the deer. Luckily it at first layed on the road, but then hobbled away.
