Congrats!

Congrats to Rachel - she had her baby boy on Thursday. You can see pics of adorable little Rowan on her blog!

It seems like all my friends having babies are on a boy/girl pattern. Just looking at the last few months:

Melinda - boy
Jess - girl
Karen - boy
Jenny - girl
Rachel - boy

I think my friend Soni is due to deliver next. By my calculations she'll be having a girl. :)

So many babies to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Center of Attention

The dogs are sure hanging on Rylee's every word these days... or is it every cracker. :)
 


Speaking of crackers, Rylee has an interesting way of eating crackers from the inside out. You can see everywhere she's been by the crumb trail. I think I'll start calling her Gretel...

New Moon Fever

Swamped with chores and trying to get my new computer set up (finally!) so again no time for blogging. This seems to be a reoccurring issue for me lately...

Attention Twilight fans: If you have some free time, I urge you to check out Jen Lancaster's blog (you can find the link on the left hand side of my blog under "sites worth visiting"). Her post from Friday was a hilarious reenactment of New Moon with Twilight action figures. (Thanks Karen for telling me to check it out!)

New Look

Rylee's bathroom got a little makeover - new shower curtain, towels etc. As you can see I was too lazy to repaint so I made sure to pick something that went with the current wall color. The little pom poms on the shower curtain match the paint perfectly. (Obviously I was too lazy to iron the shower curtain too!)
 


Rylee loves her baths. She was getting impatient with me when I was fooling around with the camera. I think this means "lets fill her up with water already."
 


The entertainment center Jon and I built about a decade ago has now been "playroomafied".
 


The new guest room: it doesn't look like much (especially without curtains - I'm waiting for them to be hemmed by my seamstress!) but at least it has a bed. :)

Soccer Girl

Rylee loves playing "soccer" on the pool deck. She's learning to dribble the ball as she runs. Is that what it's called? You can see I'm not a soccer player! :)
 


She also enjoys running and smashing against the mesh so hockey or professional wrestling might also be options for future sports endeavors. :)
 


And here she is thanking Daddy for her pool fence with a little kiss. Aaaahhh...

Don't Fence Me In

Actually it's more like "yes, fence me out!" Rylee loves the new pool fence. She's already played in the backyard more today than... EVER.

It's more more relaxing for us not to have to play goalie and keep her from falling into the pool too. :)

It was too overcast for pictures today. Maybe tomorrow...

*Unrelated: How I Met Your Mother was hilarious last night! No need to mope over Robin & Barney's breakup when Barney is pulling out "The Playbook." SNASA! Love it!

Ch..Ch..Changes!

We've made more changes to the house:

- Rylee got a new look for her bathroom

- our entertainment center was moved into Rylee's playroom so that changed already!

- the man room became a guest room with a bed

- and tomorrow the pool fence people will be here to put up the pool fence

One of these days, I'll get the camera out and post more pictures. For now, I'm still recovering from the confusion of musical rooms. :)
