Cute pictures, what else

I have tons of pictures to post and things to write, but for now here are 3 pics of Allison to hold you over. :-) Hoping to do more updates soon!

She looks a bit like a boy in these pics! Good thing she's wearing pink. :-)

The dog (Chester) sneaks into SO many pictures!

THE BEST DOG IN THE WHOLE WORLD

I Can't Complain

It's gorgeous outside! So how can I complain about the snow? I will say I hope this is the last of it though, bring on Spring!

Another blog (oh brother)

I need another blog like I need another hole in my head, but I recently decided to start sewing again so I started a blog to write about what I'm sewing and post pictures. Come visit if you'd like!

Don't forget about my book blog!

Sunday

It's not over yet. More snow today, more tomorrow. And we were SO close to having no snow in the yard! Oh well, I've lived here all my life so I knew this would happen, but that doesn't mean I like it. It IS pretty though. Lindsey is looking forward to going outside later today.

This IS Wisconsin after all!

After the bitter cold weather we had a few weeks ago, we had some warm weather last week and the snow started to melt. Here's our backyard Wednesday morning...



...then Thursday morning



...and Friday morning



...and now, today.




If it was early January, I would welcome the snow. But we're at the point of winter where I WANT SUMMER! :-)

Have a great day!

Just 2 pics

First a picture I call "Nerd Baby".

Now a picture of Lindsey looking pretty as usual.

My 2 girls are so different in every way and I love it! They are both wonderful and I love them so much! Awwwww

More Crib Fun

I think Lindsey has officially given up naps. But after Allison wakes up from hers in the afternoon, Lindsey will climb in the crib with her and they'll play. Lindsey had Allison laughing so hard the other day.

Soooo tired....

This is what happens around lunchtime when mommy doesn't get around to giving me a morning nap - just fall asleep where I'm sitting in the living room.

Lindsey's New Look

Lindsey had some dental work done last October - 2 crowns, 1 extraction, and about 6 cavities filled. We had a bridge made for her for her missing tooth. We went in at the end of November to have it put in but it wasn't made right and they had to try again. A few weeks ago they finally got the new tooth put in. She looked so cute with her missing tooth, but I think she is even cuter now that she has her new tooth.

Before

After

Jay has been wanting Lindsey to have bangs for a long time. I resisted but finally gave in to letting her get a few wispy bangs. I am SO glad I did because she looks so beautiful! I love her new look.

Lindsey with an attitude

Checking in!

To whoever still reads this hapless blog, thanks for checking in! I've been obsessed with book blogs lately (including my own! come visit and leave a comment!) but I thought I'd take the time to post a few new pics here. Have a great weekend!

Messy baby!

Playing around in my crib

I'm so cute


Dr. Lindsey

I'm pulling up to a stand now (all the time!)

Crawling too - what's under here? (aha! my sister's box of (mostly) junk!)

Happy New Year!

I got it!

I've been driving myself crazy trying to come up with a name for my new book blog. I asked for creative ideas (and got a few, thanks!) then I realized that if it's too catchy/creative, then it doesn't feel like "me". So I was almost all set just to call it "Eileen's Book Blog". LOL

Then I started thinking about how I want to get back into crocheting again. I've done some here and there since we brought Lindsey home, including making her and Allison afghans, finishing the afghan I started for myself years ago, and a few other small projects. I doubt I'll be able to crochet every day or even every week but I want to get back into it.

So I thought why not combine the two interests - reading and crocheting. Then I can talk about what I'm crocheting as well as reading. I was making lunch today and a name came to me.....

.....Books and Hooks! It may sound dumb but I like it. So I created the blog, don't bother going there yet though because I'm still working on setting it up.

Gotta run, I'm off to the library! :-)

Creative people - HELP!!!

Despite the fact that I am trying (and pretty well succeeding, with some work to do yet) to spend less time on the computer since we've come home with Allison, I want to start a book blog as of the first of the year (which is only a little over a week away!). I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read and I've seen so many great blogs about reading out there, I'd like one of my own.

Anyway, I want a cool name for it, and I'm not that great at coming up with things like that. The name of this blog proves that. LOL If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I was thinking of calling it something in Latin since I'm learning Latin with Ben (and I LOVE it!) and it feels very studious. LOL Otherwise something having to do with coffee and reading, LOVE coffee too. Drinking a cup of coffee curled up with a good book is a little slice of heaven you know. Or neither of those things, just something totally cool. :-) Thanks!

It's been awhile!

I don't plan to disappear completely but haven't really had much time to post. I'll upload a few pics for now. Everything is going GREAT here! Allison is awesome! I LOVE having 2 little girls!
