Vivian the Bed Hog

I woke up this morning with a sore neck, and I couldn't figure out why I hadn't slept well...until I realized how far Vivian had pushed me to the edge of the bed. I was literally dangling off! She even looks very pleased with herself. I think the time has come to get her a crib.

I Love Ice Cream!

Savannah loves ice cream cones! She also loves to dance in front of a mirror in our hall. Today, she combined her two favorite things, and her melted ice cream now decorates our hall closet doors. I am still trying to figure out why she chose to lick the lemon juice bottle after eating her ice cream cone...

Mommy & Daddy

Savannah's favorite movie right now is "Sleeping Beauty", which she pronounces "Sleeping A-Duty". One of the most exciting parts, according to Savannah, is when Prince Philip comes riding in on his white horse and meets Briar Rose for the first time. So romantic! When he appears, she says, "Daddy!!"


Since then, every handsome man on tv or in pictures is also, "Daddy!" As cute as this is, I couldn't help but wonder why she wasn't calling any women, "Mommy."

Several weeks later, I finally heard her say, "Mommy!" while watching Sleeping-A-Duty. "Hooray!" I thought, "She must finally be associating the beautiful, slim-waisted, even-tempered, heroine with her mother." I was flattered until I looked at who she was referring to. It was none other than Maleficent -- the wicked and dreaded villianess of the movie!

What does this mean? Is mommy really that awful? Am I that grumpy? I think I need to examine my attitude :)

Ode to the Green Eyed Lady...

Tragedy struck the Bergs last week. Someone with King County's "Traveling Library System" crashed into our precious little green car, the Green Eyed Lady (aptly named by my former roommate, Suzy).

Never mind that she had not been driven for many months, she holds a special place in my heart as my first official car. She took me all over BYU campus, back and forth between Seattle and Utah, and finally, all over Seattle.

She even helped bring Hyrum and I together when one night after Institute, he helped push her for me when she wouldn't start.

When Savannah arrived, we stuffed her car seat in the tiny backseat and she patiently endured many bumpy rides. We will miss the Green Eyed Lady. May she rest in peace...or pieces....

Hyrum's Little Clones

I am finally making a blog of our family! It took a handsome husband and two kids to get me motivated enough to do it. I am hoping this will help me keep in better touch with my wonderful friends and family :) Yes, that's gum in Savannah's mouth. We're great parents!
