Floor Frustration

So my excitement of getting my Hardwoods is dwindling fast. Monday the crew came out and ripped up all the carpet & linoleum - When they went to open the boxes of flooring the color didn't match what we selected. Same brand, same color written on the box - Just not stained the same - So we opted to get the right color. Our installer had to order from distributer to his wharehouse and it was supposed to be here yesterday and they were to install today. WELLL we're guessing because of the Gas issues - The delivery is delayed!!!!! So we have been living upstairs completely for 4 days. Jon jokes that we can get sidewalk chalk and play four square or hopscotch on our concrete floors... I'm soo over it! I'm limited what I can do and cooking dinner is a challenge - SIGH!

Juxtapose

I found it only fitting to take a picture of Hannah in the same outfit she went home in from the Hospital on 9-16-08

Back to Work??

Sigh.... So I've been offered a job ... ironically back with a previous company
So I went on my "interview" yesterday and now have a BIG BIG Decision to make...
I think it's a no brainer ... I just have to convince my emotions and heart. Waking up this a.m. and looking at Little Person doing her happy thing I couldn't help but, think how I won't get to just sit and watch her in the a.m. like I do now... Specially lately since she has begun to discover her world even more lately - Making new noises and grabbing and exploring something new EveryDay!!! I also can't help but, think of all the "special" things we do thru out our days - Like baby exercise and our baby education .... I know I should feel oh so lucky that life's little obstacles actually gave me 3 months home with my daughter ... So I'm going to focus on that positive thought as I make my decision to go back to work

My own "Sweet Home Alabama"

So yes we took Hannah to a Bar! Well Kinda - We went out to lunch with our Friends Marc & Rachel for Marc's Birthday & it was Football kickoff Day as well! So the boys had to be able to watch the games - So we went to the brand new Hickory Tavern by our house. Hannah Was awesome even if some excited football fans got a little loud in the early game. After lunch Hannah and myself left daddy to watch the rest of the days games! Go Bears!

12 weeks Old

Is She really going to be 12 weeks on Monday? I can't believe it! Here's a few pics from her 11th week

Discovery Channel Size Mosquitos

Since when did my back yard become the Amazon?
Seriously... I have never seen Mosquitos the size of the ones that are following Mercy into my house - I'm like a hunter with an old dish towel in my own home - I feel like there should be a whispery australian accent voice over as I swat at them. Poor Mercy thinks I'm swatting at him because they're all catching a ride on his back. The Bloody splatter they leave behind has called for a copius amount of cleaning products. Looking at one close up is truly scary! The longest "suckers" I've ever seen & yes one or two have gotten me - Argh Why they only follow my Rotty & not my Boxer??? Who knows but, it's like they think he's a portal to sweet blood...

Thumb

It seems as we creep up on her 3 month birthday , She's doing something different everyday! For a few weeks now she's been knawing on her fist as if they were a bone to her brothers. Amazing proportion of her hand to her mouth, Jon and I wonder how it's possible. She has haphazardly found her thumb early in her short little life and some where along the way forgot how to find it til' recently. She'll be chillin' in her swing or bouncer and then the loudest smacking noise comes from that tiny mouth. Since Sunday her new discovery has been best toy she could have! And of course if something is in that hand it's starting to go in too. So outfits and nighties have drooly collars.
