A Happier Post

February 14, 2009

With the technical difficulties we have been experiencing, combined with my OCD at not being able to just let the computer catastrophes go and deal with them the next day – I’ve been going to bed later than normal and that has led to decreased creativity.
But, we are back in business, albeit without the external hard drive, and I am here to share some fun Mallory stuff. It will be in list order because I have a lot to share.

Walking through Target the other day, Mallory found the travel size packet of Kleenex in my purse. She proceeded to fake …

Our little ski bunny!!

February 8, 2009

Our family traveled north to spend a short weekend with friends at their fabulous house outside of Harbor Springs. The plan was that Rick would ski all weekend, and Mallory & I would relax at the house, taking long naps and reading tons of books.
We got up north late afternoon on Friday and Rick & his buddies immediately hit the slopes for some night skiing. Mallory & I hung back with Sue and her two youngest –  and all three kids had a great time playing and got along great and the girls were sharing their fancy shoes, it was …

(Insert your title idea here…I am not feeling original or creative)

February 5, 2009

Mallory seems to be on the mend. Her grunting and coughing has mostly turned into VERY productive sneezes (we’re going through a LOT of kleenex!). She only woke a few times in the night and is probably spoiled by the automatic pacifier re-insertion that happens when she sleeps in our bed. LOL. She HATES HATES HATES the antibiotics she is on but is easily bribed with a cookie.
But here is our sleeping baby last night, passed out in our bed:

And, as promised – here is my 32w belly picture (I cannot show you my full picture – I looked …

Baby Arlo update – 32w

February 4, 2009

We hit the 32 week mark last Friday…I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow to check to make sure things aren’t progressing past the one centimeter dilation I had last week. I have been feeling really good the past week to here’s to hoping all is well.
The baby continues to punch & kick the crap out of my uterus and it’s getting really annoying. Rick finally got to see an elbow or knee or something jut out and run across (or is it under?) my belly and that really grossed him out. I always tell him that since I have to …

Wordless Wednesday

February 4, 2009

I’ve seen other bloggers do a “Wordless Wednesday” post, where they just post photos. So, let’s pretend that’s what this is and just ignore my word-full intro ;-)
   Playing hockey with Rick on the lake.
   A pretty ballerina…ready for winter
  No idea what to write for this one.

Found some time

February 4, 2009

I finally found some time to blog, but unfortunately it’s in the form of a sick coughing baby who needed to go to the doctor and stay home from school. Mallory had a croupy cough starting Sunday night, and Monday night it was a little worse…but last night was the worst. She was whiny & miserable from the minute I picked her up from daycare, and proceeded to curl up on the couch for a 30-minute rest when we got home. The only times she wasn’t whining were when she was eating or taking a bath. And when I tried …

I feel pretty

February 3, 2009

Mallory’s best friend’s mom just called with this report:
When she dropped her daughter off at daycare this morning, she saw Mallory and said “Hi baby girl! How are you?”
Mallory’s response: “I pretty!”
Uh oh.
* * *
Things are hectic at home and our laptop needs another rebuild. So I have pictures & stories to share but need to focus on the computer first before I can post that stuff. I might bring my work laptop home tonight and blog while I hopefully get the home computer to copy my data to CDs (since it won’t recognize the external hard drive and won’t …

And here she is saying her version of “cartoons” and “no way jose”:

Friday Miscellaney

January 30, 2009

Just need to get some things down:
*Mallory has had some funny mispronunciations lately. Florida is “Flor-did-da” and blankie is “bank-lie”.
*Mallory was so happy to see Alli this week after being gone all last week. Alli’s mom reported that Monday morning, when Mallory saw Alli for the first time, she came running up to A and said “I MISSED YOU!”.
*Today when we left daycare, Alli wanted a hug from Mallory. And then she said “MORE HUG!” and wanted another hug from M. And then she said “MORE HUG!” again and wanted another hug from M. And again. And again. And again.
*Mallory …

Last Day

January 23, 2009

Well, we’re heading back north tomorrow. The weather is just starting to warm up here (I actually put my toes in the pool today) and from what we can read, the temps are dropping big time back home. Outstanding!
Today was my only full day with no classes or anything. Mallory decided to start the day off with a great big bang and went PEE-PEE on the POTTY! Her night-time diapers have been almost dry the past couple of nights; this is a big deal because we buy the super absorbent Huggies overnights and 99.9% of the time they weigh 10 …
