Today I …

22 Aug

… Got my butt kicked by Jillian Michaels while poorly completing Level 2 of her 30 Day Shred work-out video.

…. Discovered I have 13 burnt orange shirts in my t-shirt drawer.  To which my husband’s only comment was that I need one more to support the Longhorns every day for a full two weeks.  It seemed totally normal while living in Austin.

… Pulled the thermometer out just to measure how hot our cold water is coming out of the faucet.  151*.  Yup.  That’s coming out of the ‘cold’ water faucet.  Thank you, Phoenix.

… Was reminded of just how much poop three kitties can poop.  And consequently, the only thanks I get for cleaning the litter box?  Is more poop.

… Goodwill-ed all but 5 of my burnt orange t-shirts.  Is that still 4 too many!?

… Ironed 12 dress shirts.  Which inexplicitly proves I must love my husband!

… Determined my little niece looks a lot like Shirley Temple when her hair is curled.  Wouldn’t you agree?

He Makes Pink Look Good …

18 Aug

Dear Baby Clay –

It has been so fun having you live so close to us while you’re so young!  I don’t think, even on my smartest day, I could have ever guessed that your dad would have chosen to attend a law school in the same city we are living in!  Talk about some pretty good odds!

Now, I know you’ve been asleep for much of your first month here on this earth.  But, even through those milk heaven filled dreams, I think you should know just how much you have been loved, adored, cooed over.

And tortured.

Like this …

And like this …

Oh, and like this …

But, please know that none of this is my fault.  Really!

Your dad was the one who figured you were the perfect size for a football.  I just happened to be there to document it …

And your Uncle Ben gets blamed for me hanging you upside down.  Even the whole tongue sticking out thing.  He did it to your cousin on her blessing day – with his tongue stuck out – and I just couldn’t let you feel left out.

And, well, Grandma DD takes the heat for the pink sweater.  Even though I’m the one that put it on you …

But, no matter what kind of excuses I can continue to dream up, the one thing that can’t be misunderstood by looking at these pictures is just how cool of a little dude you are.

We love you!
