Um, I was scolding a fellow friend & blogger for having gone so long between posts and I think that I have been absent longer than she has. Oops!! OK, I just checked, we are tied (last post for both of us was January 6).
But, I don’t know what to blog about this week. It’s been such a normal (i.e. BORING) week that while Mallory continues to send me into hysterics with her constant chatter, nothing has stood out as being blog-worthy, because if it was, you’d have read about it here. I don’t think I’ve taken any pictures this week or any video.

Rick, Mallory & I are heading to Florida next weekend for a work trip for me (same type of conference that I went to in September in Austin). It works out that it’s in Tampa so we can see his dad & stepmom, plus it will allow us to escape the 10 degree temps they are forecasting for us this Friday. Right now it’s just supposed to be in the 60s in Florida but that will feel balmy compared to what we are leaving!
It’s hard to believe that we have only 11 more weeks until our due date. Things at work have been a little hectic and it is hard when I look at project schedules and see stuff that is supposed to wrap up around my due date…I quickly realize how fast these 11 weeks are probably going to go.
And our home life is going to be crazy – Florida next week, and then Rick will be gone for his spring break trip during the last week of February. I need to get my plans in place because it isn’t completely unrealistic to think that Arlo could come anytime in the month of March. I don’t know exactly what we’re going to do with Mallory and Cooper when we leave for the hospital this time, so figuring that out is on my to-do list for the next couple of weeks.

Rick & I each got a new toy this week. Rick got a new (used) Triathlon bike. I still don’t understand needing a THIRD bike especially when he only does one or two triathlons a summer? But I got a new (not used) iPhone. I justified it that since Rick’s work phone was going to switch service providers, I needed to also (we used to be able to talk for free since we were on the same network). But it has already provided us with some peace! I downloaded some of Mallory’s home videos (naked baby, walk like this, pretty ballerina) and she wants to watch them constantly. We went out to dinner last night and it TOTALLY kept her occupied while we waited for dinner. I love that she is such a narcissistic techy already. Don’t know where she gets it from, though. ;-)
OH WAIT – I did get a good video of Mallory this week – enjoy!
