Fishing and crabbing

Laura's been home 9 months now. It's hard to believe just 9 short months have gone by! It seems like she's always been a part of our family! Seems like she's always been walking and skipping her way into the hearts of everyone she meets!

Recently, Laura answered a big question Patrick and I had been discussing. What was the question you ask? The question is: Where will we live once Patrick retires from the military? Now you're probably wondering how a 4 year old could answer such a question right? Well, we were fishing and crabbing down at the local dock the other night and Laura says, "I'm going to take my kids fishing here one day." So you see? Our little Russian princessa is a natural North Carolinian at heart! She loves fishing and crabbing! Alex does too! We go almost every night. But wait! There is more to the story! After she told me she'd like to bring her children fishing and crabbing I asked her how many children she planned on having. After all, as a future grandmother, I should prepare myself right? Hang on for the answer folks, you may be shocked. Laura informed me she's planning on having 9 boys and 1 girl! Whew! So, I'm thinking that Patrick and I better seriously consider retiring right here in NC. That way we'll be sure to see the 10 grandkids from Laura in addition to the ones Eric and Alex give us. Guess I better convince the boys to settle here too.


I forgot to mention our beautiful lab, Daisy. Daisy loves fishing and crabbing too!


I love you, Dad!







Notice the beautiful Sponge Bob bandaid on Laura's leg. More on that in another post.

  1. WOW! What an enjoyable afternoon and evening you all had yesterday! I can see that a good time was had by all, especially Laura since this is her first time with the crabbing and all. Thank you Alex for showing Laura how to do this correctly. I wish that I could have been there to enjoy the fun. Laura has a great tan. I'm sorry about her "bo bo" on her leg. Love, Memere
