Unexpected

 It was unexpected on my 1st attempt to color my roots to find that I dyed it ORANGE!!! Me no likey!:-(

 It was also unexpected to find my 3 yr old clipping her toe nails.

 And funny i might add!

(and yes, her shirt is inside out...she has officially declined my help and yells at me reassures me that she is capable of doing it herself)

-M 3yrs, 8mo

Just another day at the house

For your viewing pleasure, this 1st video I captured Evalyn trying to lift herself up. We like to call em her ab workouts. shes been doing this for about 3 weeks now. This 2nd video is just me making her laugh. Its so fun having her with us! -20wks, 4 months

"the girls"

I find myself saying this a lot as of late...
"I'll take the girls" or "can you watch the girls while i run to the store?" or "the girls this" or "the girls that"
It makes me so happy to introduce you to "the girls"...my girls:

M always can get this chick to crack a smile...and that there is something to smile about. :o)

I just love my girls

-4 months

-3 1/2 yrs

it was inevitable

Okay Ev, I see you eye-ballin' those chips over there. I mean, I understand you're on a strick diet cause gee, it must be soooo difficult having sweet milk everyday but c'mon! Those are like ..."diet chips" of the chip world, you don't want to break your diet over those things. If you're gonna do it..go big or go home, you know what im saying???

I know what you're thinking...you're thinking "gee, but if i could just have one chip thats all, i don't need anything more." But im telling ya, once you start its hard to stop...so just quit your daydreaming.

Alright, this is some crazy side of you I've never seen before.  I think you're takin' this a little too far.

I think I know whats goin' on here, yeah you're testing your will power.  But I don't suggest it.

 AAHHHH! COME OOOON! I turn around for one second and...ugh, great...there goes your diet.

Those must be finger-lickin'-good cause...well, you're starting to drool...into....the bag.Gross!
 o'right, im takin' those away. No food for you!


-3 1/2 months
-tryin out the new bumbo

A little taste

So perhaps it would be impossible to catch up on the many months spent away from here.  But then on the other hand that defeat would kinda defeat the purpose of doing this whole "journal" thing.  (sigh) I think whats best here is to try to update the things I do daily while updating my dusty memories of events past.Its kind of a daunting thought (Gulp!) but I have to try right?  As of now this is the list of missed events I must update on this here...blog; heres a taste, if you will:
-baby shower
-Evalyn's room
-halloween celebrations
-halloween
-the days leading up to birth
-the "false alarm" labor
-the birth story
-the birth story after affects
-Thanksgiving
-1 month
-any winter stuff
-Christmas(ugh, dreading)
-New years eve
-2 months
- a date night w/friends
-3 months
-valentines
-sean
-blessing day

Thats all I can think of for right now. I may add in some more along the way but as you can see I already have my work cut out for me.  But as of last night, this is the yummy meal I made.

That there is a very simple yet delicious Maple-glazed pork chop(its not burnt) with mash and greens.  Uber easy and lets just say I am looking forward to leftovers. Sean and I are NOT "leftover" kinda people.

Long awaited

Introducing...

We Love Her!
