Frustrating!!!

I have been tryyyiing to put up more pictures of the past week or two- vacations, reunions, pool time, etc. but blogger won't let me upload any more.  I have tried a dozen times.  Any one have an suggestions??

Finished product

Mike decided to pull up a shrub that had spread for at least 4 x 10 ft. in our new backyard.  Little did he know how insanely stubborn the thing was; it took hours in the hot afternoon sun of pulling and digging and stabbing and grunting- but it finally came out!  This was the final product!  I was so proud of him.  

God bless the library

I LOVE the library!  I still keep all of my old library cards in my wallet.  This past year provides 3!  My favorite building it a toss up between libraries in LaSalle or Sunbury.  Sunbury had a such a setting with great windows, aaaaand it was across from my favorite (and only in that town) coffee shop.

Having a library card in my wallet gives me security.  Security that I know I can go somewhere safe, air conditioned, and Carys-friendly that will provide for me many different kinds of entertainment.  I love it.  It also is a place that personifies growth for me ( I just got a 'An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe' DVD of shorts)- you can really find information on whatever you feel like learning about.

Yep.  I like the library. 

just a good day

Today was a great day.  Nothing super extrordinary (except for getting to be with Carys), but everything just went 'right.'  Ya know?  Sometimes a day like that is so needed and so nice.  Everything went according to plan, it was nice weather, and I have to bruises to show for it.  Not always the case, especially now with a baby, but honestly- I don't think it could have been much nicer (aside from seeing all l the people I love and winning the lottery).  

I think it's good to be thankful for these kind of days...I know I sure am.

p.s. Oh..Carys is starting to laugh now and it seriously kills me.  It sounds like the beginning to a cough, or ever the start of a cry/whine, but then it turns into these bubbly giggles that just make me want to freeze time.  AND she turned onto her back from her stomach 3 times, in front of my family no less.  My little performer!  

Carys is 4 months old!

Can't believe it!  Every day she just gets more amazing, adorable, special, hilarious, wonderful....

We have poop!!!

WE HAVE POOP!!!!

Step 1:  Assess the damage.

Step 2:  Remove all the poop stuck to body parts using a sink because wipes are just not going to cut it.

Step 3: Bathe.  Use your imagination

Step 4:  Elation!!! Jump for joy and high five everyone you see for the rest of the day 'just because.'

Step 5:  Relax.  Enjoy the moment.  Celebrate by sucking your fingers and holding your left knee cap in place while your mother looking lovingly on at the most amazing thing that has ever happened.
