Trip to the Zoo With Miss Lisa and Mya

We enjoyed a gorgeous morning at the zoo with Lisa and Mya not too long ago. It was fairly packed with spring breakers but we still managed to have a wonderful time, complete with goat and guinea pig petting, train riding, hippo watching, and plenty of sunshine. Glorious. We are so grateful for their special friendship!! Howie and Mya are too much fun together. (Can we say arranged marriage???)

Pics Abound.

Yummm, love this bread.

Wow, could you sit like this and get your toes? It probably would be scary if anyone other than a babe did this.

Nothing to see here, Mom.

Brotherly love

Justice often has this sort of face around big brother.

My Newest Obsession

I think I mentioned before that I'm learning how to knit!! I am completely in love!! It's so much fun. My friend Keren is teaching me how to knit "in the round" as it's called... these are some legwarmers I'm making for Justice. Why, you may ask, am I making legwarmers in April?? A valid question that I didn't think about until I already had a decent start on them, but since I probably won't finish until winter anyway, it's all good. I'm finding knitting to be seriously addictive.

Pics, Pics, and More Pics.

Look at these handsome boys. They are so precious.



This pic tells you all you need to know about Justice's general impression of baby food. Please note the mouth closed as tightly as can be.

The reception any pureed or mushy food gets. "Nope, that's not going in my mouth. Think again, Mother."

He looks so dang cute refusing the pears I just spent time preparing. Justice has decided he's going to cruise straight into regular food. To that end this is what he's eaten in the past two days: bits of an egg roll and rice at a Chinese restaurant, pears, bananas, toast, Colby cheese, and some diluted apple juice to wash it all down. Yum.

Howie lining his cars up. He does this several times on any given day.

Me and Baby J at Stacy Park on some gorgeous day a few weeks ago. I am so grateful that the weather is becoming so beautiful!! See ya later, winter!!!

Justice Pics... Because If I Didn't Put These On My Blog It Would Be A Crime.

A BAD Week

Well, let's review the events of this past week, starting with Saturday night. (FYI- the following description is kind of gross. Steel yourself.)

1. Mama feels horrible with a bad sore throat and general aches.
2. We discover throw-up in Howie's bed on Sunday morning.
3. Mama feels horrible all day Sunday.
4. Mama can't eat all day Sunday because of nervousness over the Super Bowl and an impending sense of doom for the Colts.
5. The Colts lose the Super Bowl Sunday night. Enough said.
6. Mama starts to feel a wee bit recovered from the cold on Monday morning (not the broken heart over the Super Bowl, mind you).
7. Justice throws up all over Mama Monday afternoon.
8. Daddy starts feeling sick Monday night and proceeds to throw up.
9. Daddy feels sick Tuesday.
10. Daddy recovers.
11. Mama wakes up Thursday morning feeling sick and proceeds to throw up during the afternoon.
12. Mama takes Justice to the dr. Thursday morning and he's diagnosed with an ear infection.
13. Justice develops a rash in reaction to the antibiotic for his ears.

This is pretty much how the week has gone. Started out with a heart-wrenching loss, ended with some horrible stomach virus. I seriously need to blow the lid off of this apartment with some antibacterial spraydown. Honestly.
