Tidbits

Well, it doesn't happen but about once a year. Snow. In my little corner of Texas. But it did the other night and I was awake for it! It's so serene and lovely - and not nearly enough. It was gone by mid-day. Boo hoo. The dogs wanted nothing much to do with it and that just goes to show how either lazy they are, or spoiled. I was fascinated by it and loved every minute. What I love about this picture is the snowflakes falling - and how magical they look. The good news is, it's supposed to snow today and tomorrow so we'll get to enjoy a little more. Last night on the news, they said that we might get 2-4 inches. Awww...we're so lucky to live somewhere that gets just enough snow to be fun and then it's gone soon enough not to inconvenience anyone. Wouldn't want to live too far East or too Midwest. Those are some tough weather reports we've been seeing!

Got my first embroidered "it's finally happening, I can't believe it" gift yesterday. I have to tell you that this blanket is so soft and perfect and wonderful - even Anton was thoroughly impressed by it. And let's not forget that anything with his name on it...well, it just makes it so real. This came from a fellow teacher at AB's school and we were just so grateful. It's beautiful!

Meanwhile, some other families from the school have decided to give us a baby shower. They graciously offered to include my friends to their list so we can make it one big shower. Well, "big" is kind of...well, an understatement. Last AB checked, the guest list was up to around 100. WHAT?!?!? But I only gave them 25 names. Well what a HUGE blessing and I know we'll have a great time! I haven't been this excited since I don't know when! Is this finally happening?!?


And, we got lots of great advice about what to do with the whole "we don't have" and at AB's (yes, I said AB's) urging, we went to Babies mini-Costc.o and joined the ranks of those registered for all their baby goodies. We had a great time and AB had way too much fun zapping everything I pointed at.

Not far in and already I'm concerned. I'm supposed to first purchase and then use this product on my children? Hmmm, and I still have trouble purchasing feminine products. (hate it!)

Well, I'm in love with this stroller/car seat system by Chic.co. It's to die for. And here's the deal with it - out of all the strollers I've tried and those we tried that night - by far and away this one was a dream for steering, maneuvering, fold down and fold open, car seat removal and placement, and had enough gadgets to keep me drooling right to the time we walked out. I wanted it so bad! Oh, and it's cute chocolate brown with a burnt orange lining. Loved it! I can just see my little man now!

Meanwhile, AB just HAS to show me this Chic.co highchair and whoops! Let's not take the whole row down with us, eh love?

But I agree - well made, darling, love the sage color, and totally mommy and daddy friendly. Boy, I'm really starting to love that Chic.co!

But seriously, I'm still stuck on the stroller isle! Can't we have it, honey....PLLLLEEEAASSSEEE!??!?! Look how cute I can be with it?!?!

Last but most important of ALL is that finally, finally, finally another of my dear M3 Sistahs got her referral this week and we are freaking out over here in M3 land! First Robyn, then Me, now Valerie! So here she is and please, stop by and see my Valerie and give her a little blogger love - she waited 26 months for this referral and that my friends, is some kind of commitment!

Introducing Aubriana Rose! Not only is she cute as a button - she's got the most lovable little cheeks on the planet! Must kiss them!!!! Gosh, I hope this is big enough!?!?



(Meanwhile, it started snowing while I typed this post...and now it's really coming down! LOVE IT!!!)
