An Homage to Dr. Seuss
Yesterday was Dr. Seuss's birthday, and "Read Across America" as well. Below is my little homage to Dr. Seuss, and a true story of our morning today. Enjoy!
Mommy Rickey woke up, early morning March 3rd,
So many things to do that her memory was blurred.
Get diapers and wipers and food for little Josh,
The bills, vitamin pills and little hands to wash.
With the laundry piled high and Josh screaming for food,
Mama only had time to say, "get up Jacob dude!"
Throwing clothes on both kids and realizing with a start,
Jacob's outfit was part pajamas and not matching the other part.
"Oh well" Mommy Rickey thought, "no one will care"
I mean, kids at daycare? It's not about the fashion they wear.
So fast and so furious they drove off to school,
Well, really not THAT fast - it, of course, is a rule.
Mommy, Jacob and Josh pulled in -- hip hip hooray!
But, alas, Mommy TOTALLY forgot -- Dr. Seuss's Birthday!
Every child was allowed to wear pajamas to school;
How convenient that Jacob's outfit did NOT make him the fool!
Mommy Rickey felt relief. A mommy above all the rest,
Since her hurried outfit choice for Jacob impressed!
"Uh, of course I remembered to let you wear PJs"
She mumbled as she kissed and hugged her little babe.
So, Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! Our family relents,
That we don't always have the time or the clothes that make sense,
But somehow, together, we always pull through,
and have fun "making it work"! We laugh a lot too!

A New Year and New Cheer!
There's a lot to cheer about in 2008! Our family had a fabulous Christmas and it seems like this new year is bringing so many wonderful and new changes for all of us. Here's some of the highlights...
Jon and Angela work hard and play hard - both are keeping busy with work, but enjoy moments of time together when they can (amidst diaper changes, toddler tantrums, picking up doggie doo and all the other chores of life...) Here's a fun photo from their last "couples getaway" in San Francisco.
The whole Rickey clan is ready to spend an entire full year in their new house. Here's a pic for many of you bloggers who haven't seen the new digs:
Christmas brought new toys and new pajamas for the whole family! Here are the cutest two Rickey's in their new bedtime outfits.
New thrills and new skillz - Jacob learns to ride a scooter (with a helmet, of course). Also notice the reminents of his new favorite dinner food that is requested EVERY night... pizza!

Family Photos
Well...
With the Christmas holiday fast approaching, we're SUPER busy and behind on photos! Here are a few pics of our family enjoying some Arizona Sun Devil football on Thanksgiving Day. It was a fun game!
Here are Rickey siblings Jon and Ali - a couple of 'devils' with their outfits :)
Mommy and Joshua are enjoying the sunshine on another hot and sunny AZ fall day. Check out the subtle homage to the Oregon Ducks (via Josh's outfit) - tee hee!
Look for upcoming Christmas photos and stories soon...
