I can't think of a title...

This weekend was a good one.  REALLY lazy.  But with the week I've got waiting ahead for me, I'm glad to have had some lazy time.  I did put up a top-of-stair baby gate this weekend to prevent Rom from going down to our lower level without supervision.  He is such a good dog, but something about our new couch down there has inspired him to make it clear that it "belongs" to him, if you get my drift.  Anyway, rather than...

Hippo

Yes, I know he looks more like a mouse than a Hippopotamus.  His ears are too big.  Anyway, this is my first attempt at an animal...so, overall, I think I did pretty good.  Tonight, we begin the monkey....

Carry On

Life with a baby in your belly can be a little bit bizarre.  One day you are all alone in your body and then the next you find out you've got a passenger.  Then - life goes back to normal.  One day you are sitting in a room with an ultrasound tech and you are watching your child squirm and wiggle and finding out he's got man-parts.  Then - life goes back to normal.  Anywho, so, life is pretty much back to normal around here. ...

And the verdict is...

Ladies and Gentlemen, We have a BOY!  He's perfect.  He's measuring spot on for his age (my doc said she's never seen a baby measure that exact before - first test, aced).  Geoff and I both wore blue today without realizing it.  We must have been getting vibes from the little man. He wasn't terribly cooperative throughout the ultrasound, but we LOVED seeing him.  ...

Sweet Potato

Baby is a Sweet Potato!  It doesn't get much better than that.  Today is G (Gender) Day.  Hopefully the little muffin cooperates.  We had a great weekend complete with a game night at my work, (successful) thrift store shopping, barbecue, volleyball and roasting marshmallows with friends, naps, cleaning, cooking, and organization.  Stay tuned later for the announcement and pictures of the wee little sweet potato. ...

She's Crafty

So, I'm not one of those ladies who sews clothes and curtains.  I'm not one who decorates cute little cupcakes and truffles.  I'm not one with many overly impressive home-making skills in general.  Not that I don't want to be, mind you.  I envy those people and aspire to, slowly, acquire those skills.  I'm a decent cook, a decent crafter, a decent baker.  I think I lack the patience and focus required to really excel...

Fire!

Last weekend, Geoff and I undertook a large project (and by "Geoff and I" I really mean Geoff, since I'm relatively useless when it comes to heavy lifting and hard labor these days).  When we bought our house, we inherited a large, home-made play set in our backyard.  In defense of the dude who built it, it was very well-built.  However, it appeared to be pretty old and was quite a splinter factory; just something we didn't need or...

Two Things

Hello, dear reader(s), I know I've been a crappy blogger of late.  I assure you it has nothing to do with the lack of interesting blog topics or that we are living a boring life.  Quite the opposite.  With how busy we are, it's hard to find a time to sit down in front of the computer for 20 minutes and update the Internet on our lives.  But, when my mom starts threatening to write guests posts, it becomes clear I need to get my...
