Groundhog Day already??

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

yay babies

How did that week/month/year go by so fast? Dang.
Six years today! Of not smoking! I don’t know what the stats are this time, as they live on my computer at work, and I haven’t been there lately and won’t be until mid March. So, we’ll just say: money not spent = a lot, and cigarettes not smoked = really a lot.

Happy Palindromous Day!

01-02-2010, woo hoo!
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?

Many thanks to Ellen for the heads-up and the awesome accompanying palindrome!

I’ve discovered the photo booth thingy on the computer this week, thanks to Lisa over at Lemon Gloria. Fun!

Two and a half months!

Here I am pretending that’s a nice kiss on the cheek. Really she was licking me.

40 weeks today

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

And that means we’ve arrived at the due date! Hello due date.

40 weeks!

And we are still in limbo, still going to wait a little longer, in hopes of avoiding another c section. If you have any laborious thoughts to spare, direct them this way please!

Big sister!

Some things little M. has been saying lately:

cramera
skuck (stuck)
too gark! (dark!)
ten, nine, eight, seven, six, four, five, three, two, one, emission!
goggie
thank you addy. (daddy)
Uriel for Ariel. (Little Mermaid)
too small a me / too big e me.
(just recently started saying too small instead of too mall. sob!)
marfle (marble — she loves marbles)
dan-dad (grand-dad)
niwo (milo, our cat)
that okay. (want an apple? no. that okay.)

I’ll be three, cember. (december)
[who do you want at your birthday party?]
baby sister. cousins.

[what color hair will the baby have?]
red.
[what color eyes?]
white, black, blue.
[!!!]

my baby moving. (rubbing tummy) [haha!]
baby come out, play toys.
baby come out, talka me.

(we have tried to explain, new baby won’t do those things right away…)

Sigh. She changes every day! Today was her first day of preschool for this year. She LOVED it and did not want to leave. I am glad she’ll have the excitement of preschool to help her with the big transition.

Big day!

Warning: there may be a few too many exclamation points in the coming paragraphs. Couldn’t be helped.

Today is: Lisa’s birthday! Lisa, it’s your birthday! Happy birthday, Lisa! And it is also Lisa’s due date! Woo! Thinking contracty thoughts for you, Lisa!

And! It is also a special day for M and me — our 5th wedding anniversary! His folks, who are seriously the best possible in-laws a girl could ask for, are arriving for a weekend visit this afternoon. Tonight we’ll all go to dinner at Machiavelli (YUM) and tomorrow evening we’ll head out to the cabin.

Oh! Yes! We finally found our cabin! We first saw it on July 3rd, and took possession on the 15th. That fast! We LOVE it and we have gone out there every chance we get. Here are a few pictures from that first day of cabin ownership.

The first pond, built by M & M (I forgot to bring any river shoes that day):

The tiny pool of rocks I gathered while they built the pond:

pretty rocks

We can’t wait to go back!

Lisa’s birthday song stuck in your head too? Sorry about that.
