I haven't been sharing enough pictures. So, here are a few:  I was telling Matt that Marissa had a cold and then he asked how Anson was.  So, I sent him this picture.  I think they look alike. . .well, at least they dress alike.  My grandparents and my kids.  It was nice to see them while we were in Utah.   I turned to do something on the computer and turned back and this is

 We went to Utah.  It had rained on the snow so the snow was hard.  Marissa walked on top of it.   They loved their time with the Grandparents. Marissa even tried to sled on a trash can lid. . .Once was enough for her,

Marissa found these pink overalls in her clothes.  I have never really put her in overalls but she insisted so here you go.  Of course I had to find some for Anson and take some pictures.    It is really hard to get them both to look at the camera (phone) and smile.   I decided this was good enough because Anson was getting grumpy.  It only took a few minutes and a couple messy diapers and

So I am now posting from my phone. I am still getting used to if so be forgiving.  The previous post was also from my phone. That's why there was no words.   Christmas was great. We had some of the Garcias over. We ate a lot of food and laughed.  We played games both on our phones and live. It is amazing how much we have at the tip of our fingers. My dad got a kindle fire. He loves it. Marissa

Anson was blessed last Sunday. This is the outfit Matt's parents provided. We are so blessed to have this baby in our family. He is already showing so many signs of a happy personality. Most of the time if he is awake he is smiling. He hasn't openly giggled but I think he does a little chuckle.

 I'm not sure how many of you knew me before kids but I used to think I had some style however small it might be.  I think back and realize that for me, for now at least, it is a thing of the past.     These days I am so much more excited about how to dress my kids.  This is Anson's church outfit. Don't you love his shoes?  I thought boys would not be as much fun as my daughter but they are.

Our prayers have been answered in so many ways!  Of course Anson was born.  It was a crazy 23 hrs of labor that ended in a C-section to get this big boy out of me. (He was too big and he had his hand by his head).  But, we are so happy and grateful that he is healthy and happy.  We are still working on getting a routine down for me and him and Marissa but Matt!  Matt has finished.

So, at my sister in-law's request here are some more pictures.  I do have some cute kids!  Cute slippers for cute Marissa  Marissa can't be left out of the picture.    Anson loves to be on his stomach.  He turned over by himself and holds his head up really well. This is our one month picture.  He is really quick to smile.  It almost makes me forget about the 4am wake up calls...

On October 9th at 3:12 in the morning Anson Joseph Spencer finally came! All 10 pounds 7 oz! Marissa looked at him and said "he is cute"We are home now and I am slowly recovering. Anson is a great sleeper. . . I just wish is was at night. I'll work on writing more later.

As many of you know Marissa and my new son had the same due date but, two years apart.  Well, Marissa's 2nd birthday came and went but this boy did not come.  Marissa got a new baby doll she calls Anna.    Matt made a great cake but the candle wouldn't stay on so he propped it up with matches.    It was a great day!

Still haven't had the baby yet but while your waiting  these are MY top 10 reasons not to hate the Heat.  On my last post I said at least it wasn't still 100 out.  Well, we had a few more days of that after I posted.  So, here we go:  10. You can cook cookies on your dashboard (google it) 9. You  never have to take a cold shower because the water doesn't come out cold. 8. You don't have to

My parents made me a "view through" a couple years ago when I was about to give birth to Marissa.   If you've been to my house lately it was still there.   BUT, I'm having a boy!  So, it was confusing to people.  I put in an order for a new one.  It turned out great! Marissa has been seeing a few things come into our home that she thinks are for her. For example when she tries to sit

So, I sent Matt and Marissa out to get the mail(it's down the street) so that I could rest and have a moment to myself.  They came back a while later.  I heard them talking about something in the living room and I had to come out to take a picture.

Marissa's cousins came to visit for the University of Texas V BYU game!   I think her cousin Xenia's outfit won for cuteness.  It was hard to get a shot of the two logos.  These girls like to move!   So, I got a pic of all the kids together.  They were ALL disappointed BYU lost.   Marissa was only wearing the UT outfit because we had one and thought it was funny to put it on her.  As

We made a trip to the ZOO while we were in Utah. Marissa really likes animals so I thought that she would get really excited about seeing them in real life. It was nice to be there in the morning before it got too hot. The Animals were up and doing fun things. . .like eating. This is a picture of Grandpa right before the dinosaur sprayed him. The dinos were cool looking but did not

So, we did it.  We went to Utah.  It was nice a cool compared to the scorching heat we have had here in Austin.  We took some time with the gparents and went to Temple square.  It was the middle of the  afternoon and we were on the roof of the conference center it was surprisingly tolarable.    Marissa enjoyed the fountains and took time to smell the flowers.   Marissa and Grandpa

As my siblings can and will attest to I am no push over.  But, I don't know if I want to teach Marissa to be as bossy/pushy as me.  Right now her personality is fun and happy. However, we have been having some problems when it comes to interacting with other kids her age.  They push her.  At church she goes to nursery and it is mostly boys.  One boy started pushing her and then the others

So, once again I am going through my third trimester in the worst weather conditions: HOT!  I promised myself I wouldn't do this again. But, oh well. I am very happy to have a pool across the street from my house.  Marissa and I are so glad the Harveys live so close that we can have friends when we go.  She loves it.  Many times she wakes up saying swimsuit.  I have even gotten better at the

So, was talking to some people we haven't seen in a couple months.  They were very nice but of course they wanted to know what was going on with us.  Well I don't know. I think whatever happens we are going to be good.  Matt has a few people that haven't told him no yet on the job front.  And is getting more papers published soon.  He works so hard.

I once knew a girl who fainted because people were talking about blood.  If you are one of those people don't read on. I am sitting here when I would usually be eating my lunch.  All I can think about is eating.  But, sadly I cannot eat at the moment.  I am going to get my blood drawn today. I don't like it.  I wish there was some way I could avoid it. But having a baby is like that.  You

So, when I was teaching I would get almost any book from garage sales and 2nd hand stores.  I wasn't too picky about the books.  I just wanted plenty for the kids to choose from.  I would use my connections and make t-shirts and about loving books.  I am a big proponent for reading and books.  It has been a blessing to have so many books for my family.  But now I am getting a little annoyed.  I

Well, we went to Utah.  I was there for a week and the only picture  I took was this one. . . This is my not so little brother.  Ben came all the way out to Kaysville from Provo.  It was good to see him and hear about all the T-shirt business.  This is his latest. He did well on the Jimmer shirts and will sell you one of those too.  This one is trademark pending. To order: shoestheright@gmail.com

The more I think about it the more excited I am.  I have a more of an image to imagine when I think of this baby.  And I can plan more.  As I put away Marissa's out grown clothes I realize life is going to change.   I'm putting away the pink shoes and bows and teaching Marissa how to say brother. We are so excited!

Well, I was supposed to find out tomorrow if we are having a boy or a girl but there was a mix up and my appointment is not going to be till next week on the 12th.  Hopefully, we will get a good shot and know for sure.  I have found more and more people who want to wait and make it a surprise.  Well, I don't.

 I think this pregnancy thing makes me feel very tired.  So, I was lying on the couch trying to read a book while Marissa was "playing."  I heard her say chair.  . . So I got up and found this.  She has never climbed on these chairs before.  But, I don't know why I am surprised.  Last night when we went to give her a bath she managed to tilt her self in head first.  Then when I took her out she

Here are a couple of outfits dad picked out while he took care of my girl so I could sleep a couple minutes more in the morning.   Some one gave us this shirt... It might be true but I don't like to admit it.

Our lives are going to change soon. . .Again. Matt is going to graduate.  He still has lots of work to do before he finishes but the plan is to be done by August.  Then the plan is also to have a job by then.   He has had a few leads on some promising jobs but they never pan out.  I think once he gets closer to the time of completion it will happen. Until then we are living on faith.  BECAUSE,

So many times a day I am with Marissa and something she does reminds me of her dad.  I love it, but often wonder how she spends all day with me and still acts like her dad. Here is the magazine she chose to read with her dad.  It is a chemical engineering magazine. I don't even know what CEP stands for.  There are so many other things.  She is good at concentrating.  I find her staring off into

 We went to the Austin Rodeo a few days back.   There was a great kids area where there were all kinds of animals.   Marissa was not afraid to go and make friends.  We saw a few kids that were not as excited to be there. I guess they felt as out of place as a kangaroo at a rodeo.   But what visit to the rodeo is complete without a close up view of a a real Texas Longhorn! I just can't believe

When I was a kid it seemed like we had rice and beans everyday.  We didn't but we did have it a lot and I remember my sister not liking it too much.  Now that I am planning the meals and Marissa is eating whatever we eat all she wants is rice.  And when I tell her I don't have any she says beans.  It wouldn't be so bad if she has mastered the fork or even a spoon.  But right now she ends up with

It was a couple weeks ago.  But it doesn't happen very often around here so it deserves a post.   My mom had been calling me from Dallas to tell me about the week of ice and cancellations they had.  We only got one day down her in Austin.   You see it wasn't very deep.   We convinced her to keep the hat on.  She was very unsure of the situation and would not take any steps without holding on to

So, these past few days Marissa and I have not left the house.  She has had a fever and has not been sleeping well.  It reminded me of when she was newborn. These past few days she would cry and I would get her, comfort her, and put her back to bed.  During the day she just wanted me to hold her.    She wouldn't really fall asleep always, but she wanted to be held.  It makes me realize that no

We were fortunate enough not to travel too much for the holidays.  But we did go to Las Vegas for my brothers wedding right before.  So, this is how we survived a 2 hr delay which made our arrival time 1:30am.  Yes, that is Marissa in her car seat attached to the suit case with Matt pulling her.  We needed a car seat in Las Vegas.  I was afraid of putting her carseat through baggage claim.

Congratulations!He got married in Vegas a couple weeks ago.  Though I didn't meet his wife until a few days before the wedding.  I think she is great because I've never seen Danny look so happy.    The photographer got better shots. But this is the one I got. Here are some random people in front of the good temple shot. Here is my family talking to the trees while waiting for the couple to come

Yesterday we couldn't find Matt's keys.  He was going to leave for work/school and couldn't find his keys.  So, he asked for my help.  We started the search in all the usual places.  Then went into all the unusual places.  We COULD NOT find these keys.  My sister and her husband were here but when 2pm hit and we still hadn't found the keys or called off the search.  They left to get away from the

Someone gave us this big beautiful dress.  I kinda feel like it is to much for sunday church.  So, I had her wear it for the to church Christmas party.  She is so funny.  She wouldn't stay still for a picture.  I tried to get a video of her dancing at the party but she kept running around the gym.  She loved the space to move and the attention from the people. It was so big I had to adjust

So, I really need some sleep and will try to do more tomorrow but this was too good.   She now reads mom, dad, bib and others.  I just have to get it on tape.

So, now that I got my cord I have too many things to comment on. So, we'll start to with the ducks.   While we were in Utah Grandma and Grandpa Spencer took us to a nice park in Layton that has a creek with tons of Ducks.  Marissa really enjoyed it but those ducks were really intense.    I'm not really sure what kind of bird this one was but it was scary. I enjoyed it with a fence between the

It is always when I can't blog that I have ideas on what to blog about.  So, Sorry no pictures for this time. I imagine my cord is on a plane on its way here. Life in the Spencer home is good.  We are back home after a nice visit to cool and sometimes cold Utah.   Marissa is too smart.  I found some cards and wrote some words down just to see if she would learn them .  .  . Well, she did.  She

Matt had a conference in Utah so we made a trip out of it and came to visit the Grandparents.  One of the first things I noticed was the trees are colorful!  It is very different from our Austin view.  Marissa enjoyed playing with the leaves.  She has added leaves and tree to her repertoire of words which grows daily.   Grandpa also has an apple tree.  She liked exploring that too.

We went to the church Halloween party on Friday.  Marissa was a cat. . .well, she was a pink leopard according to the package it came in.  I kept trying to get pictures of her crawling but she didn't crawl much.  So here is her cheesing it up.     She really likes to throw balls these days so, I brought this one with us.  She loves chasing it around.  We tried tricker treating but since she

I found this dress in my mom's thrift store.  It fit her so she wore it to church last Sunday.  You can tell it's still not to cool here in Austin. I put it on her then went to get my camera.  She found this mirror I haven't hung up and the pictures turned out  cheesy and cute.  She has gotten really good at cheesy.  At church she waves at everyone that walks by her. She can't sit still and

Matt and I try to go to the temple every month.  So, what we end up doing is taking a couple of days and driving up to Dallas where we get free babysitting and a great time with some cousins of Marissa's.  This time we decided it was a great time to visit the Arboretum. In my old single life I lived next door to this place.  If I could live anywhere in Dallas I think I would choose the white rock

So, I never showed the "cake"  I did for her birthday. Here it is.    I gave it too her and she poked at it and then got mad when I tried to put some in her mouth.   We put up the swing in the back yard and had a great time in spite of being under the weather.She enjoyed it while the grandparents were here.   And also had fun in her new outfit from her cousins.

When I drive in the car with Marissa she faces backwards and gets kinda bored.  So, I end up having to sing to her.  But not just any song. It has to be one she knows.  So her favorites are the Wheels on the Bus and Old MacDonald.  She also has a farm book that she moos at.  Which got me thinking; she needs to meet some real farm animals. The Spencer Grandparents came to visit for her birthday

Since Marissa spoke her first word(dada) I am always trying to give her more words to learn(mom).  So she has gotten pretty good at saying a few words. So far she says mom, dad, ball, shoe, nose, bowl, hi, no, and spoon. Those are the ones I know she knows.  Other times she will try to copy what I say but I'm not sure if she knows what she is saying.  That being said, I can't

It finally got lower than 100 last Saturday.  So in the wee hrs of the morning(because that's when she wakes up) I woke matt up and talked him into going to the park with us.   This was her first time to go to that park and her first time swinging in a real swing. She was a little unsure at first but Matt always makes her smile.  So, she loved it.   She liked the slide too but what she loved

So, I was talking to the in-laws on skype last night and they called my baby a busy body.  I think I'd have to agree.  This girl keeps me on my toes.  But, I love it. If I am ever reading or eating she can't stand not to have the attention.  She crawls over to me and pulls up.  She keeps pulling until I finally pick her up.  I have to remember to tie the draw string on the shorts I wear or I'll

Wanted: treadmill, lawnmower, bookshelves, dressers and a truck to put it all in.   I am not a fan of the fact that very time I want to buy something it's easier to buy it from the store and have someone deliver it.  If you know me then you know I love a great deal.  It's just hard to get a great deal if I don't have a truck to hall it off in.   I just keep thinking.

This week it's Matt's birthday so this blog is dedicated to that great, wonderful, kind, hardworking, and silly man I married almost 2 years ago.  Matt is responsible for so much of the silliness in Marissa. Examples: The other day Marissa and I went to visit my sister and Marissa pulled a face that made Lorena say "what is that?"  Well, Marissa did it one day and Matt encouraged her so now she

So, I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but Marissa is not in the top percentiles as far as height and weight.  She is like Matt. I feed them and feed them but they just burn calories as soon as they consume. I mean, I make pasta for Matt and I think I have made enough for leftovers but it is never enough.  Don't get me wrong.  I am not complaining.  I love cooking I just want to make

Marissa has really gotten the crawling thing down.  She was doing a good job scooting but then she wanted to climb. Matt explained to her that crawling was like climbing but on the ground.  I guess she understood. The real reason I took this video is for the sounds she has been making.  My sister calls them alien sounds.  I think it's funny. All day long she explores the house making

So when Matt's parents were here his dad helped me plant some herbs in pots. He also bought a potted tomato and bell pepper plant. I was so proud of myself because the tomato plant was not dying but actually producing tomatoes. Then I saw this out my window when I was feeding Marissa yesterday morning!!!!The night before I had seen a bird close to it but it went away. While I was feeding

So we had a great Memorial Day. We finally made it to the pool that's right across the street from our house. Marissa loves the bath tub so I thought she would love the pool too. I think the picture above sums up how she felt. It really surprised me. So, we'll try again this week. There was a new swimmer there while we were. It was a little girl about 4 or 5. She was just learning

Last week we went to Dallas and saw the musical Wicked. I am sure most of you already know about it and love it. I was not sure I was going to like it. I think too much hype turns me off. Anyway, I loved it. It was clean, happy, fun and witty. It is a retelling of the Wizard of OZ and I think they filled in all the blanks. The songs were catchy too. The main character is someone I think

This is my fun video for the week.  I was doing stuff on line and had music on.  I looked down and Marissa was bouncing so, I had time to get the camera and catch this cute moment. So, Marissa has been sick this week. The cute moment happened before. I don't know where she got it or how but it is really the first time she has had a real fever. It only lasted one day but that 24hrs was

I think doing this blog makes the cheesy comments come out: We had a good Mother's Day. I think I am spoiled though. With Matt everyday is Mother's Day. He always takes care of me. Even right now I can hear him singing Marissa to sleep. My parents came to visit for the weekend and my mom had to share her Mother's Day with me. It was fun. I always have fun cooking and when there are

Marissa is kind of like me. After sitting in church for three hours she needs to unwind. This is how she does it. Though, to tell the truth, she wasn't too quiet at church. She has started to yell. I can never really read the looks on people's faces. I can't tell if they think it is cute or just really annoying. Oh well, I guess it is time to sit in the hall at church.So, I sat her on

The grandparents came from Utah this past week. Marissa likes to check people out before she plays with them.  So, this is her studying face.  She reminds me of Matt.  She really investigates things and people before she reacts.  I don't know if it is a phase or what but it is fun for me to watch. She warmed up to her grandparents quickly and when they left she kept looking around for

The other day  I was sitting on the couch feeding Marissa again and there was a loud bang on the window.  It was a bird.  I had to tell someone so I immediately texted my sister.  I couldn't get up to check and see if there was a casualty but when I did I found this guy sitting in my backyard.  We don't have too big of a yard and don't mind it.  Because as you see we are not really good at

We went for a walk today in our new jogging stroller that we got off craigslist.  And we came across a house whose lawn was totally bluebonnets.  How could we not take pictures.  The last one her dad was making her laugh and so it was just a cute picture.  I told Matt if we still live in Texas next year we should totally do that. . . I wonder what the landlords would think of that.

We went to Dallas last weekend for my mom's birthday. It was fun but Saturday night took a strange turn. This was our view on our way to church on Sunday Morning!It was hard to believe. I didn't take totally warm clothes and I didn't have tights for Marissa. I felt like an unprepared mom.But we had fun. I'm not sure when was the last time it Snowed in March in Dallas. It did not feel like a

Yesterday was Pi day. We made pizza and four different types of pies. I think we are getting our money's worth out of our rolling pin:)I forgot what crust recipe and so I used the wrong one. Now I know which one! So, so I don't forget next time I like the one out of the green cookbook I got from the basic cooking class I took at BYU. I am so glad I took that class. It has saved many a meal

Wednesday:Yesterday I finally went to the library and got this book. I only got through the first couple chapters. I find reading about sleep makes me sleepy. Well, I haven't gotten to the part where it gives advice what to do yet. But, She slept for 6 hours straight last night! With 4 hours before that! So I think Marissa was reading the book when I wasn't watching.That was Tuesday night by

Friday I left Marissa with Matt for a record 3 and a half hours. Like the overprotective mom that I am was I was kinda nervous the night before. I had milk and bananas ready for Matt. All he had to do was figure out when she needed what. So, I left. . .And went shopping! Twice a year these people get together and fill a warehouse full of kid/baby stuff. It was a consignment sale.

Marissa was a good sleeper. I mean she slept through the night. Then she started to wake up once at 4am. I thought no big deal. I asked the doctor and he said to start giving her solids and to feed her when she woke up. Her weight was under average.That was a month ago and she has only had two nights where she only woke up once. . .That makes mom a sleepy lady!The other day I saw a white bump

I set out this week to be a good neighbor and take some cookies over to say Happy Valentine's Day.So, I tried to make sugar cookies last week but I ended up making the wrong cookies and I couldn't cut them out with cookie cutters. They tasted good and Matt didn't complain.Then, I tried to follow the right recipe but it took me all day long.Then I tried to do the frosting homemade but there was

This is a picture of Matt before we were datingI often forget about the first impressions I got before I got to know Matt. I thought he was young and silly. Though, I know that is true there is more to him than that--Matt is smart! I remember dating a few guys that I had to explain my word usage. I like words but my vocabulary is nothing to brag about. With Matt I never have to explain words

So, Marissa gave me something to write about for this week's blog. I never know what to write about so that's why I haven't been as faithful in writing every week.Today Marissa rolled over. I know it doesn't seem very exciting but to me it is.She starts on her back and then gets to her side by arching her back. Usually she stops there. Today she kicked and kicked so she got to her tummy. But

So we went to Utah to visit the Grandparents plus. Marissa had lots of fun and so did the grandparents.This is a picture of four generations of Spencers. Marissa was ready to go buy the time I thought to take the picture. So she has a sour face.When we got there and it snowed every day for about 4 days straight. Here is a picture of what Matt's parent's house looked like. It was very

What a crazy and fun Christmas. I was sad it had to end so quick. We got to spend it with my family this year. My brothers were supposed to fly in to Dallas and then drive down to Austin with my parents Christmas Eve. It was a little icy and snowy in Dallas and so everyone freaked out. My brother's flight got delayed. They ended up in the airplane waiting for a few hours after waiting in

So, nobody won. Even though it wasn't a competition. It goes to show that it really doesn't matter who she looks like. She is 2 months old yesterday-Sunday and she is cute.Today she laughed for the first time while she was awake. We were singing Jingle Bells and I was making her clap. I got so excited I called matt. But he didn't answer so I got to leave a message of her laughing. Kinda Cool. We

Marissa is great! I love her much! She is getting bigger.But much to my surprise she is not getting chubby. I mean she is half Garcia but there are many things about her that do not shout out Garcia. She does have dark hair, skin and eyes. Those are Garcia traits but I am noticing more and more things that don't come from my side of the family. . .that I'm aware.It is funny because if I put

On Halloween was our first outing besides the doctor. We didn't dress up but I wanted to go out. I was also afraid of the germs so I put her in a sling I borrowed. Then nobody could touch her and I could have my hands free. Sling Failed! It failed because all the people that hadn't seen us in a while were in no way detoured by the the sling. They just kept leaning in even though I told them

Friday was my due date but I have been at a finger tip since August. So, I went.I was looking for a bumper for the crib and maybe a baby book. I've been really lucky and blessed. I haven't had to spend too much money on all this baby stuff. Well, I

So, I'm due on the 25th. That's one week from today. I went to the Doctor today and he was hoping for improvement from the last two weeks where I was one cm. But, there was no change. My mom was two weeks late with almost all five about her kids. We will see what happens. Until the blessed event happens I need suggestions on how to use my time.

In spite of my being 36 weeks pregnant Matt and I made the less than comfortable drive from Austin to meet him at the Airport.This is the crew waiting for him to get off the plane.This is him coming through the gate.Many hugs were exchanged.Some hugs were a little awkward.This was Ben's

Matt is an avid runner. So, he goes running and then leaves his stinky socks and shoes on the back porch. One day he goes out and his socks are in the lawn. He was inclined to blame it on the wind. Then, the next day we found a new friend. So, I think it's fun for now. But if it ever rains we might try to start a garden. We'll see. I guess it's good we left our friend the hawk at the

I finally got the cord out for my camera and I am posting a few over due pictures. I will try to be better. I love anything cool. It has been a record breaking summer. So, I'm really happy when I get a Popsicle. Here is a nice picture of them loading way too much on a truck at time. It made it here ok. This is matt after our prenatal class.

This year we took the long car trip up to Dallas to visit the temple again. It was wonderful. I am happy and plan on being happy forever. I don't care what Lorena thinks. Even though we are expecting we are still newly weds. We had

Last Wednesday, July 22 was Matt's birthday. I was wanting to plan some kind of trip to some place cooler but with the baby and me getting so big I needed to think different. I let Matt decide what the events of the day would be. We started out leaving early to go to the San Antonio Temple. With traffic and such it takes about an hour and a half to get there. It was nice to be there. But,

Last week I had to get take the glucose and then an hour later they took my blood. I have been so worried about this blood sugar thing. I mean I don't have as much energy and food does seem to affect me. So, I had been worried about this for a month. They gave me the drink and then I went to go see the doctor. He said they were going to do a few more tests on my blood but neither of us were

This year Matt and I BUGGED Lorena and Michael till they gave in and let us join them for their 4th of July fun. We went out to Lago Vista, TX and we had a blast! There was a parade at the start of the day. Most people threw candy but one float threw alligators. Matt got them and put them in my purse. So, I then became the lady with the alligator purse.

Life here in Austin is good. I am finding new ways to waste time as I sit in my apartment trying to avoid the HEAT. I've been looking into renting a house because the people upstairs thing is getting old quick. It didn't used to be like this but prices went down and so did credit check standards so the type of people moving in are not going to work in the day. Hm, I don't either. I don't

In getting used to being at home and I found a friends. He actually he used to hang out on the power line but I haven't seen him there in a long time.
