Finally, A Few Pics!

Here they are, not the best quality. I will get more up soon.
i want to get some video up but too tired to do it tonight. I got Nora this cute glow bear for Valentine's Day. It's pretty cool.

A Real Entry This Time

Ah, now as I promised, some new(ish) Nora Pics.
I took some on Valentine's Day in a cute little shawl she has. And one pic I took because she was eating and she fell asleep while I was feeding her. It was so cute. No real big news here though, just living life, getting sick a lot and hanging on for dear life until summer break.

One rant(or whatever you wanna call it): I can't believe how fast time goes. It seems like just the other day we were bringing our sweet girl home from the hospital. I remember leaving the hospital and getting on the elevator with this other couple. She was pretty big, apparently she was getting checked out for something, but anyway, I thought it would be soon and she would be in the hospital with her brand new baby to take home. Then we got into our separate vehicles and this other couple rolled away listening to very loud rap/hip hop music. It made me wonder what kind of life this other baby would have.
We heard at a meeting in Iowa that our children are gifts, and how do we treat these gifts? It gave me a different perspective and a different sense of responsibility.
Well, I went off track there a bit, but even knowing that time goes so fast makes me wonder if the time that I do get to spend with my girl is time "well spent."
It will be so soon and she will be a year old. Our friends were just saying that they have already spent 5% of their time with their daughter in her first year, if you figure they stay until they're 20...that's a crazy thought.

Ok, well for some reason I can't post images. I'll post this and try again.

Ol' F.C.

Well, I was looking through some old pictures and came upon this picture of ol' F.C., a good friend of mine I met a few years back whilst window shopping with Hubby in Northern Colorado. I haven't seen him since. I wonder what he's up to these days. I'm sure he's doin' the same old thing as usual. He seemed so deep in thought, like he could stay that way for enernity. Must be pondering some deep question,you know, like, the true meaning of his existence....

...I know I was (not mine, his)


...What a great friend I am!


Sorry, no Nora pics... I was in a goofy mood- it could be the Tylenol Alergy Sinus meds-so, Nora pics are coming soon.

6 Month pictures

Just some more photos. I think I went a little overboard. I dressed her summery 'cause I am sick of this cold weather.

6 Months!

Hello to all and Happy New Year (a little late). We've been pretty busy These days. Hubby and I celebrated our 3 years together at Estes Park in a little condo, which was really fun. We didn't do a whole lot. In fact we really only ate out once. I don't think you can count Taco Bell as eating out. It's kinda funny how laid back you can become about something that three years ago was planned down to the tiniest detail. Of course, we all know anniversaries are NOT weddings. Not that we don't care about our anniversary...just relaxed about it(after all, Nora came along because I couldn't bear to be without her just yet). Each year we learn more and more about how we should spend our anniversary. This time we brought lots of food in case nothing was open. Last year we had our anniversary dinner at Denny's I think. It was the only place open Christmas Day Eve. Anyway, we did a lot of relaxing and went shopping for much of the day(24th). Then Christmas Day was our checkout day. We took a family picture in the beautiful snow and went to see if any of the shops were open (some said they were going to be open).
Then the next week we went to Cornland to visit my Mom, Grandma, Aunt & Uncle, Sister and Family and all the rest. That was really fun to share Punkin Face with them again and some hadn't seen her yet, so that was good to finally introduce her. Like most family gatherings it was pretty crazy. Hubby got sick and I got a touch of something. No matter how long you get to visit your family it never seems like enough time. Maybe all would not agree with me, but that's how I feel. That's most of it for Dec. and New Years.

This month went by fast and Punkin Face had her half birthday on the 29th. We had The Painter and The Sitter and Punkin Face's friend over for some magic and they brought us a half birthday cake and tacos (a healthy delicious meal by the way). It was a yummy time. I will get more pics of Badora...more professional looking photos for her 6month celebration. For now this is what you get.
