This 'N That

I'm trying really to avoid something and I'm doing really well so far. So well in fact, that I've forgotten what it was... something about housework. I don't know. So, here's a pic of Josie in the hat and scarf set I made for her. So cute. The hat and scarf are pretty cute, too! : ) And one of these days I'll figure out a less complicated way of turning these pics. Right now, it's just too much work. And here's a pic of Josie after we made a Playdoh breakfast last week. Notice the fried eggs, ham, brocoli, "spaghetti" and pizza. Yummm... Far be it from me to exclude one of my little lovelies, here's a short video of Jilli walking. I really try hard to not compare the two, but at this age, it's so hard not to. Josie didn't start walking until she was 16 months old. Once she did, she never looked back. And on the evening of her first steps she paraded triumphantly around the room as if to say, "Hey everyone, come see what I'm doing!" Now, Jilli on the other hand hasn't quite made the commitment to walking. But, she was only 10 months old when she made her first steps. And honestly, we prefer she not walk, because she's such a silent little thing when she's walking and if we turn our backs for an instant, she's gone. It feels pretty silly, and perhaps a bit neglectful, having to walk around the house calling for an eleven month old's whereabouts.



Rob finally received the call we've been awaiting since November. BMW needs his help. Temporarily. Veeeerrrrry temporarily. We're jumping on it, nonetheless. So, for the next four weeks I will not really see my husband. He'll be working, with no exageration, 63 hours a week. That plus his lunch hour and drive time, leaves him home for 12 hours a day, seven days a week. He'll get to sleep, perhaps catch a meal and pretty much be on his way again. I'm trying to be optimistic about this. I'll have a chance to really get our family on a schedule, as he'll no longer working the chaotic retail hours. I'll have a chance to get my Couch to 5K program really going. Maybe I'll even have time to host a playdate for our local Mom's Meet-Up group. Maybe. In the meantime, we're praying for favor and that the powers that be will be so impressed with his skills and hard work that they'll just have to hire him full-time and perhaps give him a day or two off.
