............................it's been a LONG week and a half

And I've been exhausted and I'm very very sorry I haven't been updated. There will be lots and lots of pictures posted this evening when I get home but, at the moment, I am at work so do not have the ability to upload pictures.

Momma came into town on June 27th. It was so great to have her in town for awhile. She hasn't been in Key West since right after Lil Miss was born, so she hasn't seen her, in person, in three months. She's gotten much bigger, and I swear she grew an inch in the time that Momma was here visiting. She is sprouting like weed! She's at least thirteen pounds now. She's definitely going to be more than double her birth weight by six months!

We went to Orlando late last week so that Jimmy could interview for jobs. He looked at places in Orlando and also interviewed with a company on Ponce Inlet, near Daytona Beach. He was offered a job there the next day and took it. So we're moving to Daytona Beach! He and Momma are actually there right now (they drove up last night), finding an apartment and getting things settled. Then he's going to work up there for two weeks and I'm going to finish things up down here with Charles. He's coming back down the last weekend in July and we'll be moving up then. It's going to be a long two weeks without him here, but it will be good because both of us can work and get as much cash as possible for the move. Charles is calling around to see if anyone he knows or anyone else knows is working in Daytona Beach or the surrounding area and looking for help. Hopefully we'll be able to find me something quickly. Even if it doesn't pay as much as Charles is paying me, it would hopefully be full or mostly full time and, also, living expenses in Daytona are about HALF of what they are here.

Crazy, I know.

Mommy was happy to be in Orlando because you know what they have in Orlando? Targets and Walmarts. And I have some gift cards from when Miss Abby was born that I wanted to use to get her some 0-3 month clothes because she is finally growing out of her newborn stuff (I think she finally got too long for most of it this last week). I have lots of newborn stuff and lots of over 6 month stuff but now until 6 month stuff is a little less full. So I got a few things for her to fill in the gap. They also have outlets (including an OshKosh outlet!) in Orlando, but we did NOT go. It's good to know it's there, though, for when we need stuff down the line.

So Miss Abby had two firsts last week -- her first experience with Disney and her first experience with fireworks. We didn't go to a Disney park (Abby's a bit young for that, and they're a bit expensive to pretty much just go walk around in) but Momma wanted me to see the marketplace part of Downtown Disney, so last Saturday we went down there are walked around for awhile. Abby was fascinated by all the people and the stuff. Momma got her a stuffed Stitch that's almost as big as she is. She's still very attached to Raffe, but she does like her Stitch -- she hugged on him and chewed on him the entire time we were at Marketplace. Momma also brought me a stuffed Figment from Epcot, that I will most likely share with Abby. It's very cute and makes Mommy a VERY happy girl. I got Momma a stuffed Squirt to go with her stuffed Crush (from Finding Nemo) so she can remember to relax when she needs to.

I also found the "Team Mickey" store, which is dangerous. I do so love some of the stuff in there! And even though we're in Daytona, we're still going to be close enough to go to Disney pretty easily (it might be an hour and a half drive, and that's WITH hitting Disney traffic and going all the way to Ponce Inlet -- Port Orange (where we will most likely actually be living) is about twenty minutes or so closer). My goal is to be able to afford season passes to Disney and a few treats each year from there once Abby is old enough to really get it and have fun.

The fireworks were, of course, Saturday night. The hotel we were staying at was right by Celebration (it was called Seralago -- if any of you are going to Orlando, it's a great hotel, very comfortable and safe and perfectly nice, great for families and rather cheap. Good spot to remember), so we decided to go watch their fireworks. Traffic was, of course, horrible, so we pulled off into an office building parking lot and decided to watch from there. There were a number of other groups doing the same thing and, to be honest, it was perfect. We were able to avoid most of the traffic leaving and, while we couldn't see the really low fireworks perfectly, we could still see the fireworks just fine and were far enough away that the smoke and noise weren't too bad. I was worried about the loud noise frightening Abby, but she was perfectly happy and liked watching the pretty lights. She actually fell asleep towards the end though (considering that they started more than thirty minutes past her usual bedtime and by the time they were ending, it was almost an hour after she usually goes to bed). The noise didn't even seem to phase her!

Lil Miss travelled pretty well. She didn't necessarily LIKE being in her carseat all day for two days and a bit the rest of the time, but she dealt with it. And she was perfectly fine in the hotel (we took her pack and play, so at least that was familiar). She actually let Momma be the one to wake up with her most of the time she was here, so Mommy could get some sleep (though I still generally heard her wake up and would go talk to her). Momma swore up and down that she wanted to get up with her. I think she just wanted as much grandbaby time as she could get her hands on. It was cute. Abby likes her Grandma, though she definitely knows who I am. It's nice to see her face light up when she sees me, and Momma said that in the mornings, when she was up, she would watch the door waiting for me to come in. Very cute.

So it's been a very long week and a half, but it's good. It's going to be okay and things are going to get better. I just know they are.

And I'll try very hard to be god about this again! Love you all!

still in key west, where it's too damn hot

June 19, 2009

Lil Miss got her first immunization shots yesterday. Oh good lord let me tell you that was NOT fun.

She was good, she really was. Don't get me wrong: She was not at all shy about letting Mommy know, in absolutely no uncertain terms, that "That fucking hurt!". Right after the needle went into her leg, she looked up at me for about two seconds in absolute shock, then screwed up her face and started screaming. She cried until the nurse was done.

However, she didn't kick. She let me hold her in place and let the nurse do what the nurse had to do without too much trouble. As soon as the shots were over, I stood up (to let her know it was over) and she got a little bit quieter. As soon as we got outside the building, and she was sure it was over, she stopped crying and just snuggled really close and sniffled. I held her and rocked her and cuddled with her in the parking lot for about twenty minutes before putting in her carseat to leave.

I gave her Tylenol like her doctor suggested and she never ran a fever. She was a little fussy yesterday afternoon, but I think that was more because she was in the car a lot yesterday (we took Daddy to the hospital in Marathon before her shots appointment, drove back to Key West for her appointment, back to Marathon to pick up Daddy, back to home to drop Daddy off, back into town to drop off his prescription and get him some OTC sleeping medicine then back home -- LOTS of time in the car) than from the shots. In general, she was so good.

June 20, 2009

It was a bit of a sad day. I had been hoping to be on the road to Orlando first thing this morning, but Jimmy's still sick. That wasn't happening. He kept saying this week that Lil Miss and I should go without him but I didn't want to leave him sick, especially on Father's Day weekend. I asked him if he was saying that because he WANTED us to go, if us not being here would make him feel better, but he said no, he wanted us here.

So we stayed.

Lil Miss misses him, I think. She hasn't really seen him much this week and he hasn't played with her. Every time she *does* see him (when he walks through to get something to drink or something) she grins at him and does the thing where she kicks her feet and reaches towards him, like she does when I go to get her up from her naps. It's a very cute thing to see and it makes me very happy. I'm sure it would make him happy if he noticed it, but Daddy is very sick.

Watching WALL-E tonight before bed.

Lil Miss got to "talk" to her Aunt Anjie today. She called to talk to me about an interview I have next week and Lil Miss was talking a little bit while we were on the phone. I tried putting the phone to her ear so Anj could talk to her (she did) and she could talk to Anj (she didn't). She apparently haven't picked up on the fact that we WANT her to make noise when we put the phone to her ear. Her family wants to hear her talk! Her Grandma Lynn wanted to talk to her this morning, but she was napping when Momma called and I was talking to her.

I'm sad we didn't get to go to Orlando, but Momma's coming down here next weekend, after her conference is over. So Lil Miss and I will get to see her, which is nice. And, hopefully, we'll all three be going to Georgia in the end of July, for the open house at Andy's new church, once they're settled into the parsonage.

It's hot down here. Hot and humid. I feel bad for Lil Miss -- she has GOT to be miserable. I try to keep her room nice and cool for her -- her Daddy likes the cold too, so we're pretty used to it. She's doing really well sleeping in her own room.

She's such a good little baby. Mommy is spoiled.

My liyyle munchikin, being grumpy for some reason.

baby one coming in for landing!

June 18, 2009

Yep, that is my little airplane coming in for a landing! She plays horsey with Daddy and airplane with Mommy (what? Mommy needs to tone up her thighs -- this helps!). She likes it -- she leans forward or she'll "Superman" while up there. It's very very cute.

Lil Miss was so good for me today. We went to work this morning and I knew it was going to be a busy day because Charles is leaving for Costa Rica for ten days tomorrow afternoon. While Lil Miss did decide that the best place to be when Mommy was typing up the dictation was in my lap, once she was there, she was perfectly happy. It was a bit interesting though -- have you ever tried typing with an almost three month old who can't exactly sit up well on her own sitting in your lap?

Let me tell you -- it's quite the experience.

Lil Miss is such a hit up there. The attorneys all love her -- none of them have young children anymore and none of them have grandchildren yet, so there haven't been baby-babies in their worlds for quite awhile. And now that Lil Miss does more than just, you know, sit there and sleep, they think it's great. The first thing Chip does when he comes in is come up to say hi to her and get her to smile (he says it makes her day). And Rae (the other assistant -- her daughter is twenty two and just graduated from West Point (we're very proud of her)) just LOVES Lil Miss. And Lil Miss grins at her all the time. She even lets Rae hold her (not many people other than family have held Lil Miss -- not even Natalie or her daughters. Mainly just me and Jimmy and Lauren, and Grandma Barbara and Grandma Lynn when they were here. Oh, and, of course, her doctor and the nurses). Now part of that is because most of our neighbors and friends are twenty something males that aren't exactly comfortable, you know, holding babies. (c: But mainly? I like holding her. (c:

The Drool Monster attacks again!

Lil Miss had a bit of a grumpy this afternoon (I think she was gassy) but it wasn't horrible and we dealt with it. Thanks for the idea, by the way, Grandma Peggy -- the leg trick worked great -- she stopped fussing right away. She's been trying to be so good for the past few days -- I think she's picking up that something is different in the house and Mommy's slightly stressed. She's doing well sleeping in her nursery. She didn't sleep much today at work and didn't take a long nap this afternoon, so she actually put herself to sleep about seven thirty. I'm fully prepared for her to wake up very very early in the morning. I am, however, going to go wake her up to eat before I go to bed. Also, because I want to put her in her jammies (she's sleeping in a onesie right now -- I didn't expect her to actually be putting herself to bed. I figured she'd wake up again before "bedtime").

Jimmy's still sick. I hate not knowing how to help or how to fix it. I'm still hoping, but I'm preparing myself to not get to go to Orlando this weekend. )c: That makes me a sad panda. I was looking forward to getting off the island and, most importantly to seeing my Momma!

Tomorrow, we have our shots appointment. Mommy is NOT looking forward to that. I don't like it when she cries the "hurt" cry! It breaks my heart. )c:

our little one is a drool monster

June 17, 2009

It was a bit of a better day than yesterday, though still a long one.

Lil Miss slept all night last night in her room, in the pack and play. Because Jimmy is sick and I wanted him to sleep when he could and because I wanted her to sleep as well, I put her in the nursery so they wouldn't wake / keep each other up. I slept on the couch so I wouldn't wake either one taking care of the other.

She slept very well and seemed perfectly happy. So that's a good sign.

I didn't work today. Lil Miss and I spent the day together like usual. We had to go down and pick up WIC checks and, while we were there, the nutritionist weighed her for me. She was twelve pounds and four ounces. She was, however, wearing a dress and had a bit of a wet diaper, I think. So I'm guessing she's right at twelve pounds. My worries that she's not getting enough to eat? Apparently completely unfounded. She's doing just fine. That makes me happy.

My little drool monster -- she was very drooly today.

Other than that? We hung out around the house a lot. We went to the grocery on the way home to get Jimmy more Gatorade. We did laundry. We packed Lil Miss' stuff (other than the things I use on a daily basis and therefore cannot pack beforehand) for this weekend. I'm still hoping we can go, though I'm not sure anymore. Jimmy isn't throwing up much anymore and he's sleeping now. Usually, that means it's almost over. We'll see. I'm not going to let him go unless I'm sure he's better.

After she went to bed? I watched NCIS and did some cleaning. It's been a rather uneventful day.

Oh -- I did get a call setting up another interview for a full time job down here. So, another possibility for something to come through. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

And now? Dinner (.........I forgot to eat today) and then bed.

*nom, nom, nom*

June 14, 2009

Don't you just love her little apple cheeks? I think they're precious!

We're going to Orlando! We're going to Orlando! So Momma has a conference (I'm pretty sure it's a Conscious Discipline conference) in Orlando this weekend and Jimmy has talked to a few jet ski companies in both St. Petersburg and Orlando that want to meet him and talk to him. So we're driving up to Orlando early Saturday, staying with Grandma Lynn at the hotel Saturday night and Sunday, then coming back by way of the companies and St. Petersburg on Monday. I'm excited to get off the island for a weekend and excited to see Momma. And she sounds pretty excited that we're coming too. Though I'm pretty sure she mainly just wants to see Lil Miss. (c:

June 15, 2009

She loves this game -- the let's eat everything game. You would think she was teething or something the way she chews on things but I know she's not because 1) she's too young and 2) even if she wasn't too young, she's not the fussy you would equate with teething. She just really likes to chew on stuff. It's her favorite pasttime.

My happy little baby on her leaf pad and boppy. That smile is the best thing in the world!

Grandma Lynn came up with a good name for the giraffe -- Raffe. It works. So that's what we're calling it now. She's even more attached to that thing that she was in the beginning. Now, there are times she'll be fussy and I can't figure out what's wrong and then I realize that Raffe is still in the crib. As soon as I give him to her, she's quiet. Definitely her security blanket. He's going in the laundry on Wednesday because he is awfully slobbery and I want him clean before this weekend. I'm trying to make sure she's not completely out of place in the hotel, since it's going to be a completely new place. She's never slept anywhere but here since she came home from the hospital, so I just want to make sure she's comfortable and happy.

Though I'm pretty sure as long as Mommy and Daddy are there, she'll be a happy girl.

My little baby at eight thirty last night, sleepy and so close to out cold.

So I have a job interview tomorrow. Probably in the afternoon, since I'm working for Charles in the morning. Send happy thoughts.

We really really want ONE of the many possibilities to work out, that's all I'm asking. And which ever one works out, that's where we're supposed to be. That's what I've decided -- that will be our sign. Something will work out and that will be the universe telling us where we're supposed to go.

And I'll accept that.

My little baby at four thirty this morning, wide awake and wanting to play!

And Mommy couldn't sleep last night (no clue as to why) so I was tired. So now, since I've been awake since then, I'm really tired. So I go sleepy bye now.

June 12, 2009

Mommy is horrible. I just realized that I didn't get a good picture of Lil Miss yesterday. )c: She was a sleepy girl and napped a good bit of the morning and early afternoon and then Jimmy and I were discussing a lot of things when she was awake and I just didn't get out my camera. I feel bad.

So there's a lot of things up in the air in our house right now and we're just hoping and crossing our fingers that something comes through. We'll let you know as soon as we know anything.

Though we do get to see Grandma Lynn in Orlando next weekend. That makes this Mommy very happy.

Lil Miss in her car mirror -- it's mounted on the back seat and we can see it through the rear view mirror. I love that thing.

I figured out a very good way to explain what's going on with Lil Miss: she's finally getting a personality. She likes things and doesn't like things. She talks (and talks and talks) in her own little baby talk. She is definitely going to be a talkatve child like her Mommy. It's very cute when soe of her "talking" sounds like English -- you can make out "Hi" or "Hey" a lot and, every once in awhile, when she's crying, it sounds like she says "Momma". I know she doesn't, but I still love hearing it. She makes the cutest noises (when she's not trying to eat her hand, which is officially her favorite game). She seems to know us too which is awesome. I love my little munchkin.

Attacking the giraffe after a "kissing attack" (check out the videos).

Yes, you read that right. Li Miss' Moo Cow is not a cow at all -- appartently it is a giraffe. So I have to find a new name for it. But I found the company that makes them and have sent them a message to see if they can tell me where to find them so I can get extras (it's made by Ganz. It's a Baby Ganz Hug A Long Giraffe).

She's growing, but she still isn't in a lot of her 0 to 3 month clothes. She's still wearing a lot of her newborn clothes. Most of her 0 to 3 month clothes (except Gerber onesies and a couple of dresses) still swim on her. She weighs enough to be in them but she's just not long enough yet and they're too big around. I dunno. I just put her in what she fits in (c:

Both my children napping. We inherited a rocker for her room and her big brother just loves it.

i officially have the best baby ever

May 8, 2009

And another long day. Long couple of days. Heck, it's been a long long week.

Long story short: Gramma and Laurie have been here since Tuesday night and Jimmy has been sick most of it. He'll start to feel better, but then it all comes back and starts again and he's sick. He feels really bad right now because he feels like he's destroyed Gramma and Laurie's vacation, but they're still doing things because we're making them. No one is upset with him, obviously, but he's upset with himself and I don't know how to fix that. I also don't know how to make him not sick, which I HATE.

I do NOT like being helpless.

Lil Miss and Gramma -- all dressed up!

Lil Miss is officially the best baby ever. She spent most of the day in her car seat (I feel SO bad about that -- we were going to Theater of the Sea (hour and a half to two hour drive), Daddy got sick so we turned around when we got there and headed back, dropping him at the hospital in Marathon (hour and a half to two hours back), Mommy had to go pick up documents from work so I could work on them tonight (about thirty minutes in the car total) and then she and I went to pick him up when they released him (an hour each way). So all in all be spent eight to nine hours in her car seat in the car today. I feel like a horrible Mommy for that. )c: ) and she was so good the whole time! At one point, Gramma actually said she almost forgot the baby was even in the backseat because she was so quiet.

She is the best baby ever and we are incredibly spoiled. I joked today that I think she just wants a sibling, so she's being good so we won't swear off babies. (c: (But no -- no siblings any time soon).

Sleeping in her carseat during the long road trip.

I realized something last night that I hadn't really realized. It makes me incredibly anxious to be away from her. I don't like it. Even if I'm in our room and she's out in the living room with Daddy instead of in her bassinet next to me, I don't like it. It makes me anxious and upset. I want her with ME. I don't like leaving her or putting her down and I'm uncomfortable letting or asking other people to take care of her or help. Yes, it's making me tired. Yes, it's somewhat stressing me out. But I can't help it. It makes me so anxious I want to cry.

Seriously -- last night I was tired and stressed out to the point that I was about to cry and Jimmy wanted me to give her to Gramma and Laurie to hold for awhile while I tried to sleep and all I could think was "don't take my baby -- just don't take her. I want her here". She makes me feel better and not having her makes me feel worse.

Is this normal? It makes me feel slightly crazy!

(Sorry this is kinda short -- it's late, been a long week, I'm tired. I think I'm going to bed now.)

look at me! look at me! (and mommy makes a mistake)

May 4, 2009

Look at her! She did that all on her own with no help from Mommy and held that pose for a good two minutes. I'm so proud of her -- she's getting really good control of her neck.

And she rolled over! She rolled from her tummy to her back all on her own with no help and no prodding! I tried to get her to do it again so I could get it on film (cause of COURSE I didn't have the video part of the camera on and I wasn't taking pictures at that moment) but Lil Miss decided it was not rolling over time. It was, instead, cuddle and love on Lil Miss time. So we cuddled and loved on Lil Miss.

When you hold her up at your shoulder (like when you're burping her), she holds her head up and looks around. She likes mirrors and likes things that move (like, you know, the flashing lights on the television). Basically, she likes to stare at and watch things. When we're on the bus (and she's not asleep) she picks a spot and stares at it very very intently. There was actually a debate today on our way home from work (the bus was very full) amongst the other bus riders about what she was or was not staring at.

They were also all exclaiming over how cute she is. Everyone tells me that. And I just say "I know!"

Sleeping on Daddy's bean bag chair. And no, that's not a blankie. That's a burp cloth. When she's half asleep when being burped, she grabs on. And Lil Miss has a death grip when she wants to.

She sleeps well when she's out, but she's also good at fooling Mommy -- being asleep when I'm holding her but, as soon as I put her down, waking up. So I've stopped putting her down unless I KNOW she's out. Like when the arms go loose, the legs bounce when I'm rocking her and, well, the head would flop back if I would let it. You know -- OUT out. And then, and only then, Mommy puts her down to sleep. And like I said, she sleeps pretty well.

Oh, so yeah, Mommy made a mistake today. I've actually made it a time or two and I need to stop with it!

So Jimmy and I haven't exactly decided on what we're going to call Lil Miss from day to day. Her name is kind of long and, my guess is, it will get shortened at some point. There are a number of possible nicknames from her name, but right now, we tend to call her Munchkin, Honey, Sweetie or (in my case) Bunny. But today, at work, she was being a little fussy and I was walking her (cause Charles was on the phone on my desk and I didn't want her talking to get in the way) and talking to her. And know what I said? "Hush, little Angie, it's okay."

Angie. That is the one nickname I swore I wasn't going to use on her because, well, Anj is Anjie. It would be confusing if there were two of them. Thinking about it, I think I've made the mistake a few times. It just comes out, you know? I guess cause part of me is so used to saying it (you know, considering the fact that I've been calling my sister that for what, twenty five years? (Good gosh that makes me feel old. I was actually walking and talking over twenty five years ago!)) so it just comes out without me thinking about it.

But I do not want to make Anj share her name, or make Lil Miss share her name. I would prefer not to have any of the "Big Anjie" / "Little Angie" kind of deals that I've seen in some families. It gets confusing after awhile.

So yeah, no calling her Angie. Bad, Mommy. No cookie for you! (but I don't eat cookies........so why do I care about that?)

Okay then -- no Sprite for you! (okay. That's a threat!)

Watching big brother Zeus watching her. They had a staring contest.
Was mondo cute.

So Grandma Barbara and her friend Laurie (or is it Lori? -- Uncle Camron's girlfriend's mother) are coming into town tomorrow night and we can't wait. We're very excited. Though it also makes me miss my mommy (but then again, I pretty much always miss Maminka). We've so got to try to make a road trip to Georgia and Carolina this summer!

Jimmy's still kind of sick. He's been asleep all day, so I think he's doing a little better, but he's still sick and feels horrible and there's nothing I can do about it and I HATE that. Oh, and I tripped on an XBox cord tonight and, being that I was holding Lil Miss at the time, I wasn't exactly able to catch myself well. Luckily, I didn't fall and I didn't drop (or even wake up) the baby, but I stepped really wrong and hurt my foot and ankle. )c: Not fun. It hurts.

But hey -- I've been there before, done that before. I'll deal and be fine.

I'm just glad Lil Miss didn't get hurt. I would never ever forgive myself.

"i'm a rockstar!!"

April 29, 2009

Yes, Lil Miss has a mohawk. Yes, Mommy and Daddy are dorks. Our daughter is a rockstar and I love it. (c:

So, Lil Miss had her first bath in the new apartment tonight, in the bathtub. She seemed to like it. We filled it enough that there was some water above the very bottom of the seat so she was sitting in warm water. She liked that a good bit. But, she's a little wiggle worm so we have to be really careful. Cause she tries to wiggle her way out of the seat (not good!) or down in the seat (again, not good). Not good cause I don't want her getting her down in the water and, you know, going INTO the water. Bad bad bad, of course. So you have to keep one hand on her at all times.

Not a bad thing, not hard, it's just something we have to remember to do cause she's my little wiggle worm. But she likes the warm and the water and the feeling of being bathed. She doesn't even fuss when you pour water over he head. She just doesn't like the cold world once she's taken OUT of the water. (c:

Hence the fussiness in her cute little mohawk picture.

Pictures of her "faces". Clockwise from the top left: her "confused" face, her "grumpy" face, her "sleepy" face, her "happy" face, her "my-parents-are-crazy" face, her "yuck" face (the face she makes when she spits out her binky or pushes away a bottle cause she's done) and her "suprised" face.

Lil Miss makes some of the cutest faces. The above is compiled from just taking pictures rapidly over and over for about five minutes this afternoon at work. I have a video of her too; I'll try to get it up soon cause it's very cute. Her making her little faces and noises. They're awfully cute.

So we finished moving completely today. Everything is in the new apartment and the old apartment is clean. Almost everything is unpacked. I cleaned this morning while Daddy watched the baby (it was his day off again) and then Lil Miss and I went to work. She was actually awake most of the morning and a good bit of the afternoon. She's started staying awake a good bit. It's very cute and fun cause it means I actually get to play with her, which is cool.

She's also started being able to get herself back to sleep when she starts to wake up if she's not hungry or wet. That's nice too.

She's the cutest, sweetest little baby. She's so good and doesn't really have fits unless there's a really good reason. I know I've said this before, but we are very lucky and very very spoiled by this munchkin.

Also, I want to try and do a blessing for Lil Miss at some point this summer. I was talking to Anj about it because I was thinking of doing a baptism, but that's not exactly our thing, you know? That really wasn't what I wanted to do, but I couldn't think of what to call it. She suggested doing a "blessing" instead, that we can create how we want to.

So I want to try and do it. I'm not sure when or where, but I want as much of the family to be able to be there as possible, so my guess it, well, not here, but somewhere between the two families. Maybe this summer? I don't know, we'll see. Mainly it's just a heads up and I'll keep everyone in the loop. (c:

Now, I go watch Yes Man with Jimmy and then sleep. Love you all!

Lil Miss being her cute, adorable little self. HOW can you not just adore that baby?
