Stanley in Maryland

We are enjoying Stan's visit with us. It's been a quiet week around here, but Stan seems to be having a good time.
He made a snow angel-

Spent some time chilling with the girls-

At bedtime tonight Megan "read" a story to him (although I am positive he already knew the story he was a wonderful guest and sat thru 2 chapters of me reading it to them)

And I found out it was useful to have a flat friend. Stan went to work with me and I realized I had locked the key to my locker inside the locker! Stan saved the day- he slid underneath the door, got the key and slid out with it. I was then able to get my car keys and wallet out of my locker so we could go home! What a guy!!!

Shortly, Stan will be on his way a little further south. He said he was hoping for some warmer weather!

This past week Stan has been at the beach in Carlsbad. Taking it easy before going on his next stop next week. Our first night we went on a walk along the beach. What a beautiful sunset.

OH NO!!!!! MR. Stan!!!!

Well in a house with three girls you just had to know they would put Stan in a dress. I take no responsiblity for this for I was at work and did not witness the said offense. Its bad enough they did it but they took pictures too!

Poor Stan!!!!!!

Well to make up for dressing him up in girl clothes they took him swimming and who knew Stan is a good floater!

Day At Work as an Accountant

Stan confided in Peter that hanging out with the girls were getting to him he desperately wanted to get out of the house and hang out with guys. He said PJ is great and all but he is as helpless in someways as Stan. They both cant walk or talk. Peter took Stan to work. Fortunately Stan already dresses like an accountant so he fit right in and had a great time.

Stan Finally Meets the Murray Crew

Well after much delay Stanley was introduced to the Murray Crew.

Stan goes to Work with Mommy Murray

Ok so kiddos were still asleep and with the time change from the East Coast Stan was wide awake. He asked if he could accompany me to work and I of course said yes. Only thing is we took pictures going to work but forgot when we got there to take any with Stan. He did like the excitement of getting pulled over for the first time and meeting an actual Sherriff Deputy from Riverside. Aparently Suzanne ran a (VERY NEW) stop sign. Evidently with Stan's charm and the fact Suzanne had a nursing uniform on Suzanne got out of her ticket (Boys and girls ALWAYS stop at a stop sign).

Stan made it to Southern California

Well late late Night Stan arrived at the Murray Homestead. The children were asleep, so Mom and Dad Murray offered Barbies Castle (rest assured Barbie is not home in her castle right now as her and Ken are Vacationing in the mountains right now). He like the two story with the bedroom on the top floor. He asked that I take a picture of his new digs as he posed on the stairs.

Just a Thursday in Ohio

Well, Thursday was story time at the library. I didn't get any pictures of them listening to stories, but Stanley and Alex really enjoyed the stories, songs, and especially the bubbles the librarian blew! After that, some toys were brought out, and they enjoyed playing. They stopped long enough to get a couple pictures, then off to play with the other kids there.



After that, we came home, and then that evening we went to watch Tyler play baseball. Stanley seemed to enjoy himself, and also passed ball while watching

Stan's Ohio visit

Stan arrived today, a little tired, missing Toni's family, but ready to see what Ohio had to offer. He just missed the cold weather, and so we were able to enjoy some time outside.
Alex was quick to offer a kiss


Tyler wanted to take Stan a ride on his scooter (took the picture before the helmets were on)


Alex wanted to show Stan one of his favorite things - the fish tank!


Sorry Stan, time to do a little Social Studies reading with Kelsea


Stan wanted to help out in the garden


Daddy put Alex's extra car seat in his car, so Alex wanted to try it out, and Stan wanted to see how he fit in Tyler's booster seat


After Stan's long travel, and the kids keeping him busy when he arrived, he was wore out and needed to relax!


What else will this week hold for Stan?
