Hoarders

My new guilty pleasure:
A&E's "Hoarders".
It's fascinating to see how people can possibly live like that!

Website

It's a work in progress right now, but I've finally got around to making a website for my photography. I am very excited about it and still working on the design of it, so it will probably keep changing, but it's a start! It's going to take me a while to get it the way I want it since I only get a few minutes here and there to work on it. But, I've decided to share, so check it out... there's a link on the left sidebar or you can click here.

Enjoy! :)

Sick

Despite my greatest efforts of keeping everything so clean, Avery caught what I had last week... A nasty head cold. She started showing signs that something was wrong on our way home from Houston on Wednesday. She fussed the whole way home when she normally sleeps or is very pleasant in the car.
Sure enough... a cough and congestion set in that night. Poor thing had a horrible night and couldn't sleep. I can't blame her; I didn't either when I was sick. I had the doctor call in a prescription yesterday so it seems to be helping a little. She looks so sad all the time, though. Her eyes are so red and watery; her cough sounds painful; and her little nose is so stuffed up. It breaks my heart when she looks up at me with those eyes that say, "fix it, mommy! I don't know what's going on!" At least it's just a cold, but now I have to watch for dehydration since she doesn't want to eat very much. As of right now, I think she's ok in that area, but it can happen so fast. I hope she gets over it faster than I did 'cuz I'm still fighting a stuffy nose after a week now.

Aloha to LOST


Tonight marks the end of a chapter in my life. A piece of me will truly be missing. I know it sounds crazy to say that but it is so very true. I became a "LOST-ie" during the summer of 2007 so I had to do some catching up, but was instantly hooked. Since then, it has been a part of our lives. Blogging, discussions, theories, revelations. It has captivated us on so many levels. I think that this show has the potential to go down in history as one of the greatest series ever written. The writers are genius. There has never been a show like it and probably never will be. If you are not a "LOST-ie" you won't get it... but take my word for it; it's amazing.
After tonight, we will know how it all ends. Which questions will be answered; Which will not. Tonight's finale will make or break the reputation of the show. I hope, for the sake of my sanity, that it is amazing.
I will miss the characters. We have come to feel like we know them personally.
I will miss the Mystery. Will All of the questions be answered? I doubt it. I think the writers want us to keep discussing theories about the show for years to come.
I will miss the music. It pulls you in. It's unique. When you hear it, you instantly think of LOST. (Luckily, I have the theme song as a ring tone on my phone)
I will miss my Tuesday nights to look forward to.
So here's to you, LOST. It's been a great 6 seasons! Thank you for being my favorite show of all time. :)

Playdate with Nathan

Back on April 15th Elysha and I got together and had a playdate with our kids. Here are a few pictures:Smile for the camera!!

Nathan is sitting there being good and still... Avery on the other hand, is hard to get to sit still... she is constantly kicking those legs and flinging her arms around! lol

He was trying to hold her hand ;)

Oh! Now he's rejecting her! lol

3 Month Check Up


Avery is getting big! She is still 24" long but is now 13lb 4oz. That puts her in the 75th percentile for both groups. She's allowed to eat more at a time now (which is good since she can be a little piggy ;] )
Everything looks nice and healthy. Her doctors always comments about her "kissable" lips and strong legs. She loves to stand so my arms get worn out from holding her up, but its a good trait for her to have. I hope that it means that she will be mobile before the norm, but who knows.
As far as sleeping goes, she is awesome! she goes down around 9 and sleeps till about 3 (give or take), eats a little, then is back down till 7 or so. I hope she keeps it up and only gets better.

Let me get on my soap box...

If I get asked if Avery is a boy, or she is referred to as "He" or any other form of the pronoun, I am going to scream! I know it's hard to tell at this age for some people, but come on! I have no patience for it when she wears pink and has a bow in her hair!
Ok, I'm stepping off now. Thanks!

Lady Bugs







Yesterday I was taking Avery for a walk around the yard and we came across these lady bugs in our Magnolia Tree. I was really able to get some good shots. I dont think Avery was too happy that she had to lay in the grass while I took pictures, though. (Dont worry, she was on a blanket) lol.
One of them had spots and the other didn't. If I had to guess, the male has spots and the female does not... Time to "Google" about ladybugs!

**Turns out that both have spots but they just fade with age. Looks like this one (the one in the first 2 pictures) is a "Golden Gal" lol

Check out all the cool stuff they have on this site that's LOST related!

My brother-in-law has decided that we should all use the word "brother" at the end of every sentence... he should get this one:
