The tailgate started at 10a for the 3.30p kickoff. We got home at 9p. Holy long day.
My 7-yr old nephew was going to come with my dad but turns out Shane didn’t want to come, so my 3-yr old niece came instead (which then made Shane decide he DID want to come – oops). I think my mom & I were thinking my dad was a little nuts to invite Lauren. But turns out my dad wasn’t so dumb – I wonder if he knew that Lauren was going to want to sit with Mallory the whole game?
The girls were …

My Pish Gaga
Roughly translated it means “Hey Mom – I just went fishing with Dad over at the lake!”
(there should be a slideshow of pictures here)
10 weeks today (30 more to go)
This is what is going on this week.
Your baby is growing incredibly rapidly right now. She is approximately 1.75 to 2.4 inches (4.4 to 6cm) when measured from crown to rump. She will double her length in the next three weeks. Your growing baby weighs about 0.3 ounces (8g).
The neck is developing and the chin lifts up from the chest. Fingernails are also present. While your baby’s sex was already determined at the time of fertilization, male or female genitalia are now visible. Essential organs are formed and most have begun to function. The blood vessels in the placenta are …
Help A Sister Out
Here are two versions of the same picture. Which one do you think is cooler and why. Please discuss.
Ideally I would like to get one of these shots of her on the beach in Wisconsin enlarged for our wall but don’t know if I should do SOOC (that’s Straight Out Of Camera for you non-photography types) or play with it a little.
PS – I know the one on the right is a little dark.
Fall is coming
Wow – fall is coming FAST. I seem to forget that this happens every year. The days getting shorter, the needing a coat or a sweater in the morning, the fact that we aren’t obsessed with mowing our lawn weekly because it’s going to snow soon anyway so who cares?
I am sitting on the couch with a fabulous semi-warm & semi-cool breeze coming in the front door. There are still boats out on the lake and why wouldn’t they be, it’s still in the 70s. But I guess I still think of football season meaning the end of summer.

A mom recommendation
I was able to get all of the crayon off Mallory’s kitchen toy.
Gotta love washable crayons and Mr Clean Magic Eraser.
Video of the lake
Here is video of Mallory playing in the lake yesterday.
Disclaimer: It is a long video and there is stupid mom commentary. You’ve been warned.
I DIDN’T PROOF THIS VIDEO BEFORE POSTING AND JUST REALIZED IT STALLS AT 4 MINUTES. THAT MAY BE THE END OF IT OR IT GOT SCREWED UP WHEN I UPLOADED.
9w pictures
Here are the pictures from my 9-week ultrasound. The second one is a 3D scan – pretty spooky looking, eh?
Mallory has an announcement
Out little pish
Another little posting drought. So sorry.
Here is a collection of short stories from the past few days.
Mallory can finally stand up (with her head above water) at the sandbar on our lake. We went out yesterday with my sister’s kids and she wanted her boat coat off so off it came and I was surprised to see that she could touch. She had SO.MUCH.FUN. jumping around with Shane & Lauren. We went back out later when Rick got home and she showed off her new “pish” (that’s fish in Mallorian) skills. She got braver and actually ended up underwater a …
