neglect
Monday, March 08, 2010Labels: randomness
Yes, I have been neglecting my blog. I have the winter doldrums and haven't been feeling the greatest. I spend my day literally chasing after that adorable little boy. I'm also in the process of transferring my blog to WordPress so there's that too. Excuses, excuses... I promise I will be back soon with lots of exciting new blog entries.
painted!
Sunday, February 28, 2010Labels: home owning
We finally got around to painting our wall yellow! (And when I say "we" I really mean Josh and Sondra.) Our house is being appraised sometime in the next week or two. In hopes to add value we thought it would be smart to accent our one architecturally interesting wall.
I'm very happy with how it came out and so thankful that it was done in an evening. We are picking up some more paint for touch-ups but otherwise it's done!
whoosh
Thursday, February 25, 2010This past week just zipped by. Of course it hasn't felt that way during. This has been a long and kind of rough week. But not all bad... Labels: randomness
We got our haircuts in.
We've watched a surprising amount of the Olympics.
We got to see Jasper's little girlfriend, Lucy.
And we've been working on holding hands when we're out and about.
things I love about the Olympics
Thursday, February 18, 2010I don't usually get into the Olympics. I'll watch some here and there but that's about it. I have been catching some of the winter Olympics this week and here are some things I love about them. Labels: randomness
1. I love all of the inspirational commercials. Yep, I'm a sap. The commercials they are playing during the Olympics are better than Superbowl ones. My favorite:
2. Snow pants that look like jeans? Yes, please.
3. Okay, it's another commercial. But yes, Ryan Reynolds makes me want to visit Canada.
4. The Chinese married couple that came out of retirement to win the gold in figure skating. Now they want to have a family.
5. People winning. I really like to see anyone win.
who knows

Just last week I had settled on a new schedule for Jasper that cut out his morning nap. I was completely okay with him giving it up as long as he wasn't a grouch all morning. Around 9:30 on Thursday morning I put him in his crib for "quiet time" so I could shower. He slept for almost two hours. This has been repeated every day since. In fact I can hear his baby snoring over the monitor right now. So for now, I'm rolling with it because that what you do. What would parenting be if there wasn't a time every week when you thought "I have no clue"?
jabber jaws
Friday, February 12, 2010Labels: baby love
I was finally able to get a decent video of Jasper jabbering. I'm not kidding you, he is CONSTANTLY babbling. Unfortunately he gets very distracted by the video camera and I can't get a good video of the talking. He was very engrossed in the computer screen and didn't notice the video camera. I just wish I knew what he was saying!
going a little stir crazy
Wednesday, February 10, 2010Labels: baby love
Jasper and I are going a little stir crazy trapped in the house. We've had a bit of snow and not that we have a car to go anywhere... So we just entertain ourselves.
He's easy to get giggling.
And I can't help laugh when he does.
This...well, I have no excuse for putting him through this.
Someday I will just blame him for only taking an hour nap, running around like a crazy man and being trapped in the house. He'll forgive me when I show his first date, right?
