Catching up...again.

I have lots of pictures from this weekend, but first I have to put these up before it gets to be months passed and I never do it, and I find them later, and it won't make any sense chronologically...and I'm anal retentive so I need it to be a certain way...enough said. Look at these, tomorrow I'll put some up from the girls' birthday weekend.

getting a refresher walking on the B.G. en route to Chez Gue-yey.

She loves this backpack--it was the best 20 tax free dollars I ever spent (a purchase from Eugene, on our roadtrip).

Doing laundry.

My name a-Borat

Tonight I am in Bellingham. And this man is who I'm spending the evening with.

Just a few more pics I had to add...I uploaded all of the pictures off my phone tonight...about six months worth, so there was a lot to weed through. I'm actually surpirsed it's taken me all week to do this, as I haven't left the house since Monday, for Ryan's birthday dinner. I did have some productivity though-- I have watched almost all five seasons of 'Family Guy' we own, and I also read The Da Vinci Code in about 2 and a half days. The good news is, my knee is healing after my easter egg hunt spill, and I think the sinus infection is waning. Me thinks the best medicine is rest...especially when you don't have health insurance =)

Cute baby face!!

Peek-a-Boo! Rowan loves this game. If you say to her, "Where's Rowan?" She covers her face. Actually, it's more like a double slap, but it's soooo sweet! It's funny how babies do the same thing, but it's not cute at all (maybe just a little bit) until you have your own baby to watch do it. Avert your eyes...proud mama comin' through.

Look at these gems...too funny. This first one I love because of how she is holding her hands, a perfect lady at 8 months old.

This, my friends, should be your comic relief for the weekend. A baby taking a bath with goggles on. That's all you need to say.

I've been down and out with a bum knee the past few days, and Ryan had a show tonight...so, my girlfriends stopped by to bring a a delcious treat of a sausage wrapped in a tortilla with cheese and fried, a drumstick ice cream cone, and to give Rowan a bath.

I just had to put this up-- to prove a point, if nothing more. The pic two post below this, the picture that is also of Rowan and myself, was taken on March 6th. This pic was taken at the end of the month, or the very beginning (like the 1st of 2nd) of April. Look how much this kid has changed in those few weeks! It's crazy! This picture, by the way, was taken at our friend Forest's wedding...there was a goat there, too. But the didn't kill it, it was a rental.

Catch Up

Here are a few pics to show you guys what we've been up to...I'm realizing I'm not grand at documenting our lives, maybe it's time for me to get on that train. As a verbal catch-up, real quick, Lucy and Rowan will be 7 and 1 next month, Ryan will be 27 on the 13th. Rowan has 6 teeth, and she is not walking...yet. She eats everything you put in front of her, whether or not it's food. Here's a recap in photos. January-- Rowan walking down the hall with daddy.

Rowan, me, Carly (good friend from Newport), Sophia; her 18 month old daughter. In Eugene, on Rowan's and my Oregon road trip.

Lucy reading! Her favorite activity. She reads every night before bed, and has inspired me to do the same. I'm currently 3 quarters of the way through Paddy Clarke, ha ha ha.

February. Rowan in her cow jammies and her shiny red shoes. She wore them only once, to Valentine's Day dinner at Auntie Deb's.

Feb/March (?). Once Rowan learned to pull herself up in the crib, she learned to pull herself up onto anything. I like this picture -- it looks like she's posing.

Love this too-- I can't quite tell what that look on her face is. She just looks very obedient, but with the look of shenanigans in her eyes.

Testing...Testing...Houston! We have one!!

YESS! I have finally found a spot in the house where our pilfered internet allows me to upload pictures! I'm back everyone, and I'm better than freakin-ever!!

This above pic was taken in a cafe in Eugene, OR when Rowan and I went down to take the new Volvo for a test run, and to visit my brother and long lost high school friends...life long friends really, let's not limit it to high school.

Also, my new obsession with Facebook status updates (and the fact that I couldn't get pics to load up here) has made the blog take a backseat. But no more, I assure you. I will add though, the only spot, where I stand now, yes, stand, is in the kitchen in the far corner -- to the right of the sink, for those who know the layout of my house -- and after being on my feet all day at work, I'm ready to get off of them; i.e., not type up my life story on my blog while standing in my red WSU sweatpants (thanks Dad, I still have them) in front of the kitchen window. This free show for the town-home dwellers has gone on long enough....I'll be here all week! Try the veal; it's phenomenal.
