On my 101 things in 1001 days.

Done:)

Today should be a holiday...

Yes while yesterday was Yom Kippur, today also should be on the calendar for all to see. My almost 10 month old SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! He slept from 8:20-6:45. We think... The monitor was off, but his room is RIGHT next to ours, so I know he never lost it. Since life is ironic, I was up a few times, but I did get a 6 hour stretch, almost uninterrupted (thanks Seth)! So mark you calendar's it began today. Now how to make this continue?

Buff Family

Every year since John was born we've taken a picture on the first home game of our family.
Here's 2007 (the year J was born)


Here is last year's 2008 picture:



And finally here is this year's 2009 picture again:


And here is the silly version:


Here is the whole gang at the game!


Yes Seth is wearing the very same shirt and hat in every picture. I guess I know what he needs for Christmas!

Colin Update

So both Monday and Today Colin had his 9 month check ups (one cardio and one regular). On Monday with cardio everything went great!! She used words like wonderful, perfect and fabulous to describe his heart and of course him! We'll be going back in December once he's one, but after that we'll only need to go every 6 months!!
Today at the pediatricians office Colin weighed in at 23 pounds 13.5 ounces!! He was 31 inched long and his head was 47.5 cm. He is above the 50 percentile in everything and on the charts for everything except height, which he is only a little off of:)
Colin is crawling on all fours, pulling up to a stand, doing a little crusing, and says mama, dada, hi, brbr (brother) and all done (we learned this during his echo when he told that to the tech!), he is also signing all done and more. He loves to run around in his walker, play with the mega blocks, and do anything in the kitchen.
Overall Colin is doing wonderfully and we are so thankful that he has been so healthy for the past 9 months!!

This week will be better...

I know it will! And so I will start it off with a few pictures:

First a question: What is this plant in the middle?? green/white/red leaves and it does better when watered and gets light.


And here's two from Kaari and Josh's wedding:




Cheers to a good week!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I have had the craziest week! Between Seth's job, insurance, my first week of working, another wedding, and the fact that our shower which we are FINALLY fixing, is a bit of a cluster I am frazzled. I will assume you've been warned. I'm hoping the three day weekend does wonders for my sanity. Hope you're weekend is relaxing and refills your soul.

John's Room Update!

Here are the pictures with the new bedding you all helped us pick! I don't completely hate it with the red walls, but I think I may paint them something lighter at some point. I had to include the one of John looking out the window, even though he isn't wearing pants(surprise, surprise)and it's really dark. I really love the new look and even John told me he "wreally, wreally like his digger blanklets." Thanks for you help deciding you picked well dear readers!:)
