To all of my 2-3 dedicated blog checkers, sorry about my absence. I couldn't find my camera this week. Problem solved though so I thought I'd post some pictures. Nothing too exciting going on, though so don't get too excited.

Noteworthy items:
*I told off the girl I work with today after she mumbled under her breath that I never do anything at work. I don't think she'll ever be doing that again.

*When a song by The Black Crowes (Dustin's all-time favorite band) comes on my iPod on shuffle Kate says "This is The Black Crowes." Dustin says he didn't teach her this, she just knows good music when she hears it.

*I'm going to be beginning my search for a new diaper bag. Wish me luck and feel free to suggest any you love!

Okay here's some new pics as of late:

I tried to take some cute pictures of Kate if it just weren't for the granola bar!




Kate apparently likes to eat sour cream by the spoonful. Yummy!




Kate's new sandbox. She loves to play in the sandbox at daycare so I thought it'd be the perfect birthday present. It turned out not to be. We have to convince her just to go out and play with it! Hmmm...

Kate loves to read books. She woke up from her nap and came and snuggled with me and read! It was quite a sweet time.

24 weeks

Everything is going good. I feel much bigger than I look in that picture. I was even wondering if I was beginning to walk with a small waddle?!? And my chubby pregnancy face appeared while I was sleeping on Friday night. I guess I'm going to accept that, though. It was literally overnight!! O'well! I'm getting really excited about this little baby boy!! He's so active and always kicking around in there!

mother's day pics

Kate woke me up yesterday by saying "you're a sweetheart!" What a start to my mother's day!

She told me "Happy modder's day, Mommy" and gave me a hug randomly about 20 times yesterday!

Dustin got me tulips and a beautiful card.

I had a very nice day!

It was Kate's turn to say the dinner prayer. (most impressive is that this isn't rehearsed at all) Make sure your volume is turned up...it's kinda quiet.


Narration: thank you for this day, thank you for ate, thank you for food, thank you for family, thank you for family, thank you for this day...
