My Little Helper

I went to Kroger earlier today. Great fun for Claire as she gets to ride in the shopping cart car. I also bought groceries, which are great fun for her to unpack. I just put the bags on the floor and let her unbag everything. She will find something fun to play with! She was playing with the square tissue boxes I got 10 for $10 and stacking them like blocks! Great fun!

We also went to the local hospital breastfeeding group tonight and had fun! When we got home she ate 2 orange cream Popsicles! Now she is playing with puzzles with Daddy. I should probably put her to bed....ahh...later...

So what I need to do now is Google flowers that I can plant around our patio. Our patio is pretty much done, except now I need to landscape around it. I am thinking Daisies, Black-Eyed Susans, Sea Grass (which I've always wanted to try)...but that's all I know is full-sun and very drought tolerant. This time of year is bad for planting, but I'm watering my tomatoes and peppers daily anyway...any ideas/tips/suggestions...please leave a comment and let me know!!!

Facebook is for OLDIES!

The oldies are taking over on Facebook! http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10281339-36.html You used to have to have a .edu address to sign up. No longer! That means that college kids might just be forming new networks!

Mom rolls over on Baby while Sleeping

Bedsharing has been safe since the dawn of time before the advent of formula. 20 bucks says this mom was NOT breastfeeding. http://www.indystar.com/article/20090709/LIVING01/907090412/Indianapolis+mother+rolls+over+on+baby+while+sleeping Bedsharing while doing it RIGHT is safe. NOT bedsharing safely (like if you or hubbie smokes...IS STUPID!)
I'd like more details on this. ARGH. And I hate the negativity on bedsharing. AND SERIOUSLY...AN 11 month old. I bet alcohol or drugs were involved. If I would've rolled over on Claire at 11 months...wait...how do you ROLL over on a large blob. That would be like sleeping on a bowling ball. I wonder if she was "trying" to off the child...

Sunflowers!

For our recent anniversary, Josh got me some flowers. Here are a couple shots of them:
Notice the water turned purple from something that was dyed purple. Even after I changed out the water, it dyed it purple again.

Here is a cool night shot. They still look great!

Nothing reminds me more of summer than sunflowers!

Newly Framed Pictures

We got some new pictures framed of Claire. We had to get this for our little July baby! I can't believe she is turning 2 in 2 weeks from today! We had to miss two 7-7-07 weddings because I was ready to pop any day! I REALLY wanted her to come early and have that awesome birthday, but no, she came late!

Don't you think she could be on the cover of a magazine? I like this because she is always in front of me, so it's like the view I see of her all the time!

And I really like the frame on this one. It's my favorite family one because we look so natural. Claire isn't exactly looking, but she has a great smile. I figure she has enough other photos of her around the house of her looking! :)

So next time you're over, you'll have to take a look and see where we hung them up!

College Friends!

This past weekend we visited with our college friends Mike and Jeremy. We enjoyed eating pizza as well as playing some board games after Claire went to bed. We played Sequence and my favorite, Scattergories. I kick butt and take names at the latter!

Daddy's Shoes!

Claire enjoys wearing Daddy's shoes and "walking around" in them, which is more like a drunken shuffle as they are quite heavy for her! Daddy snapped this with his phone today!
