Life with the Brudfam

a note to Ferocious, the dog

from Freckles, age 8

found on a tattered piece of paper in the art drawer

Life without Ferocious would be sad. 

She licks your hand and makes out with it. 

(note from the editor:  This is true --although I don't know how Freckles knows the term make-out, let alone how to use it correctly in a sentence.  hmmm.  Ferocious really likes to lick the girls hands, especially when they have come home from school and haven't washed their hands yet....gross!)  

She is always fun and enertizing, 

(*note: when asked what enertizing means, Freckles replied: "you know, funny and what's that word?"  do you mean entertaining? I asked.  "yes, entertaining.")

but expesially cute.

She always has a good welcome when I get home 

(the hand-licking, apparently, is enjoyed by all)

and is a very fun dog.

Who are we anyway?

This is not a philosophical question that will lead to a profound dialogue of who we are and where we came from. Rather, it is a simple explanation of who the Brudfam is and why we have a blog.

I had to explain to The Guy what a blog was and why on earth we would want to have one. I'm not sure I entirely convinced him (I think he has seen me spend way too much time reading other people's blogs), but he thought we could give it a try. There was one stipulation--that we all have code names. So here we are, code names and all.

The Guy is the one and only male in the household (besides the stuffed monkey).
The Mom is self-explanatory.
Next is our 11-year old, well, Drama Queen. Sometimes we call her TNT {not the dynamite, but the tv station--"TNT. We know drama"}. She loves acting, friends, music, reading, tennis and her stuffed monkey from Build-a-Bear.
Freckles is our 7-year old who loves art, singing and dancing, reading chapter books, and playing with friends. Some things she dislikes are being grounded, wrestling and being bossed around.
Blue Eyes is the only blue-eyed member of our family, hence the name. She is a typical 6-year old who spends her time drawing, doodling and practicing her penmanship {occasionally in places she shouldn't, like on the walls, her bedspread and other random places}, playing with friends, cuddling, smiling, and generally being a delight.
Life in the Brudfam wouldn't be complete without our little dog, Ferocious, who has earned that title by occasionally scaring small children who come to our home.
