well, it happened

Everyone kept saying it would happen, and it finally did. My monster finally climbed out of his crib. The first time was during nap Saturday with his dad, and just now it happened again. We have been intentionally keeping him in it as long as possible to keep his sleep patterns as consistent as we can. I guess its time for a big boy room. Oh no! Mommy has to go shopping! ha ha. Please pray as we go through this transition that he stays unharmed and still sleeps well.

Wow!

This past weekend, we were fortunate to have a wonderful lady take some photos of our booger. You should check out her blog, saragdesigns.blogspot.com. I can't believe she was able to find such beauty in our little monster, and boy is that an accurate description! He was all over Eden Park, to the point where we had four adults chasing him and it was difficult! It was such a treat to see a couple of her preview photos. So good job Sara G!

I WIN!!!

And no, this isn't a post about how badly I crushed Don in fantasy football. Hubby caved and is giving me the green light to cut my hair however I choose. My colour will stay vibrant copper-red. Also remember I can continue to grow my hair out. So, I need suggestions:

Heather Sucks!

I just got a phone call, and as if I'm not struggling with exceeding my mid twenties as much as possible, Heather told me this:
Saved By The Bell debuted 20 years ago!!! Gross. This is bad, I remember loving that show soooo much when I was little.
Enjoy your morning laugh at my expense.

Thanks MTV

For making me feel like an adult. Gross. I love music of all kinds (well, other than country,) but watching the VMAs tonight I realize I know no one on there. Drake and Josh? Tokio hotel? The only reason I know who the Jonas Brothers are is the news. Seriously, I feel old and out of touch. I did decide my next hair colour though. At least something good came out of it.

Lord, please protect the people of New Orleans. Help them to be strong and safe during this frightening and difficult time. Keep the levees strong and hold them up.
I am so worried about this hurricane. I genuinely worry that the work everyone has put in the last 3 years will be destroyed. I know that lots of precautions have been put into place, now we just pray.

Summer is coming to a close.

Believe it or not, summer is ending soon. And with it comes fall and booger's SECOND birthday. I am seeing evidence every day, whether it be in his new multi-syllabic words, his small sentences, or just his astounding size. He is truly a little man. And he got to play with one of his friends yesterday. We love J and baby E, and apparently we love beating J up. We're working on it, but I am starting to worry he is going to be a bully. Oh well, all I can do at this point is teach him and hope for the best. But as I get older I know booger is too. This stinks!
