Bad Blogger

I know I haven't been blogging much at all lately but I have my reasons. I hope I can share them in the next week or two but that remains to be seen. I know I'm being very cryptic and I apologize.

In other news . . . my baby will be 2 on Sunday! How is that possible??? Really, how is it possible??? Here is a pic of her on her birth day (awwwww)


And now a recent pic of her (ok so it's from Thanksgiving - we are slacking with the camera lately!)

She truly is the light of our life. I was rocking her tonight (her new favorite habit is rocking and singing in her room before bed so C and I alternate nights) and we were singing the only part of "You are my Sunshine" that mama knows. When I got to "you make me happy", she joined in and sang with me and the "happy" was in this big full high pitched voice. It was SO cute. God, I love this kid!!!

Stay tuned next week for B-day pics and maybe some answers to why I have not been posting!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I have to say this

Mamas please, please give your kids an extra hug and kiss (or two) tonight. I heard a story today that shook me to my core and I will not post it or repeat it b/c no one needs to hear it. Just trust me that it's horrific.

I can only hope that over time I'll be able to get this image out of my head.

I have mini-van envy

And I'm not proud of it. We had dinner with our friends Mike and Heather on Saturday (Hi Heather!) and when we pulled in the driveway, there was a nice shiny new Honda Odyssey sitting there. I never thought I would fall in love with a minivan but it happened. That Odyssey is a pimpin' ride! lol Don't get me wrong, I love my "new" car but in terms of practicality, that minivan is awesome! Anyway, dinner was great and it's always to great to see them and their son who is 9 weeks older than A. The kids had a blast and trashed the house (which is to be expected).

Not much else going on in McQ land. BIL and his fiancee set the date. The wedding will be Aug 15 in New Haven, CT here. Should be a good time but I have a feeling that the 7 months leading up to it will be total drama-rama. I like my future SIL but she's very high maintenance. Very.

We started Amelia's music class on Saturday and I think she'll really enjoy it. She was very shy the first 15min or so but then she started getting into it. We'll also do swimming lessons in the spring so she's all ready for when the pool opens at home! C has already told me that those are all me in terms of getting in the water. I just pray that no one harpoons me! lol

That's really it from our little world! I'll try to be better about updating! I also need to take some new pics of A - we've really been slacking on that lately! I think when I get my bonus (which I better get!), I'll do what I've done before and take some money for myself and maybe buy a Digital SLR camera. They are just so much faster and take much better pics. I feel like I miss so much with the Point-n-Shoot. We'll see . . .
