Sometimes Blogger irks me // Newborn photos of baby

On Sunday evening I started writing my usual Sunday blog post.  I did this on my new iPhone 4S, which I had never done before, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that my blog post got lost. Boo. I was going for a perfect record of 52 weeks of "counting my blessings" posts. Now I will have to be satisfied with 51.

I think I will still give some highlights from last week:
  • Having Darren home all last week. 
  • Darren's mom arriving last Wednesday. She's been a great help, and most especially with Lila. We will be sad when she leaves tomorrow.
  • Watching Lila enjoy spending time with her Grandma T. 
  • Darren's new job! He accepted an offer from another local company and is pleased to be switching to a job that will be more enjoyable for him (iOS development...he gets to work on a Mac again!!).
  • Recovering quickly and feeling great; I even made it to church on Sunday.
  • Finally finding gelato in Austin! We went downtown to buy my new iPhone, so we made an adventure of our rainy afternoon in the city and found Cafe Teo. It was yummy :o)
  • Smoothies from Tropical Smoothie Cafe. More yumminess. (Food is on my mind, can you tell? :o)
  • Cuddling with my sweet new baby. We all love him to pieces.
As for sweet baby Walt, he's having a busy week! On Sunday he made his debut at church to plenty of oooo's and ahhhh's. Monday a friend of mine took some lovely pics of him with her new Canon 7D. And yesterday he had his 2 week check up, where we found out that he's gaining weight nicely and now weighs in at 9 lbs. 4 oz.! If he keeps up at this rate he'll definitely be a chubbier baby than his sister was!

Here are my favorite photos from Monday:

So adorable. He's definitely your baby. I think he looks just like Lila.

He is so cute! Reminds me of you when you were a baby - although I hope he naps for more than 15-30 minutes at a time, which is what you did. Say hello to Lila from her other grandma! Love you. Mom

All the emotions

By
Moving of course brings up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. As I declutter and go through all of our stuff I get distracted with the memories that items bring up. I've had moments of sadness and feeling like time flies far too quickly. But of all the feelings, the most overwhelming one has been joyful gratitude. All my reflections on these years here in Austin, and most especially this last year have made me realize how far I've come in my life. This year I have achieved just about all I could ever hope for in life. I've come to love life with all it's ups and downs. I've learned how to roll with the punches and keep my chin up when things get tough. I've truly learned to put myself at the top of the priority list. I have more of myself to give than ever before. I've learned how to give and receive friendship. I've come to love and accept myself as I am. I know I am stronger than ever (and not just my muscles, but truly I think I am physically at my...

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
