• Happy Birthday, little bro!

    Happy birthday to one of my little brothers, C.J. I can’t believe he’s 23 years old! WOW! That really makes me feel old seeing as how i helped changed some of his diapers at one time and had to keep him from pulling all of my sister’s gorgeous locks out…

  • Getting things done.

    What is it about crossing off things from your “to-do” list that makes you feel so great? Why is that? I feel so good to have crossed off 3 things today from my massive list. They’re not the biggest or most important 3 things, but nonetheless, it’s nice not to…

  • And now, i am off to play (and relax).

    My kitchen is bright white and sparkling (woo-hoo!), laundry is done, and toys are semi- put away. So now N8 and i are off to visit Grammy, Grandpa, Auntie, Popo, uncles, and all of our upteen billion cousins in Texas! I’ll try and post some while i am there….mostly of…

  • I could get used to this.

    The weather here has been absolutely, insanely beautiful and today was no exception. Jen called and invited us out to the park over at Deanna Rose right around lunchtime today and we of course accepted the invite. Nathan had such a great time (and so did Gabe) running around and…

  • Another convo post.

    Background: Nathan was standing over in a corner hunched over just ever so slightly. David lying on the couch watching TV. Me, on the other couch. Me: “Nathan, are you making poo-poo?” Nathan: “No. I’m just having fun.” David & Me: (in complete hysterics)

  • Friends at the most random of times.

    The conversation that ensued after n8 waking up from a nap. Me: “Are you hungry baby?” N8: “Yes.” Me: “You want me to make you a peanut butter and jelly?” N8: “Yes. And Alexander love me!”

  • Groovy Joovy

    N8 and i went out today and purchased the new Joovy stroller i’ve been wanting for when the baby comes. Here’s a pic: I had originally seen this stroller in red. A friend of mine actually has it, and i thought it would be the perfect piece to tote N8…

  • Picture this: A (hugely) pregnant lady waiting tables.

    That was me tonight. One of our servers got completely swamped with the dinner rush tonight so i had to help out and take a table of 5. It was a cute family with 3 girls. Anyway, after taking their drink and appetizer orders (the mom even ordered a couple…

  • Nathan’s first real-life sitter.

    Yesterday Nathan had his own real-life sitter for the first time, EVER! Chelsea came over at about 6:30 last night to re-aquaint herself with N8. Chelsea is the cousin of my very dear friend, Jen, and she’s known Nathan for a while. Actually, they met at Heidi’s baby shower which…

  • “Don’t chu wanna?”

    ……..watch Dora? ……..play cars? ……..watch Wiggles? ……..go downstairs & eat ‘brick’fast? ……..go Green Tea? ……..play puzzle? those three little words seem to be followed by EVERYthing lately!
