Long Nights

So, I figured with Dave out of town the time between Devin's bedtime and mine would fly by~since this will be my only alone time. But after the last two nights I'm not so sure. Ugh! These nights are dragging by. I know I will get into a routine soon, but for now it's junk food, no cleaning, sweats, and general laziness all day. This can't keep going. Tomorrow I get my act together and do something productive. =)

Goodness!!

If you're teething and you know it, then your squealing surely shows it, if you're teething and you know it whine some more

Days like this...

relax me. I know after about three months of overcast winter I'll be ready for sunshine...but after many days of 103 degree heat, I'm enjoying the overcast, breezy, drizzling day that is today. I definitely miss my Florida daily rainstorms and weekly thunderstorms. Spokane doesn't seem to get those. I was told we had thunder the other day, but it didn't even wake me up so it couldn't have been too bad. I feel refreshed today. What a lovely day. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

Crib shopping

For those of you who don't know~ our crib got recalled about a month and a half ago. After doing the paperwork and mailing the required hardware in we finally received our 'voucher' to go and purchase a new crib last week.
I originally thought it would be exciting to go and pick out a new crib. BUT this was not the case. What a frustrating experience. It was only exciting to buy her crib the first time. (We got exactly what we wanted the first time.) This time the shopping experience was not fun at all! Everything we liked was way above our price range. We finally found one that we agreed on. I have to say it wasn't my favorite but it's not bad~Dave likes it, it matches her dresser, and it was in the right price range. So, I went to pay for it and of course they didn't have it in stock. GRRRR!! Now we have to wait anywhere from 7-21 days to get it.
Our poor girl gets to sleep in her pack-n-play for another couple of weeks. I can not wait to get her room put back together again!

Mini-me

No, Devin is definitely not a mini-me to her mama...it's all about her Daddy. She does have some of my attributes (note the blue eyes) but just look how much she takes after her Daddy~Sigh~I am definitely in love...

Devin's first Airshow

Last weekend we took Devin to her first Airshow. Our girl did really well. I was surprised she didn't fuss when those Blue Angels got to roaring overhead. Here are a few pictures to remember the day by...

A New Friend

How sweet that Devin made a new friend this last week. The first time she played with Katelyn (affectionately known as Kate-Kate by her mommy) was on the 4th of July. A couple of days later they played again, and then today we went to the pool together. "Sharing" as best as they can in Kate's front yard...

Big smiles for the camera...

Me & Devin, Diana & Nicholas, Staci & Kate

What a lovely sight. Two little innocent girls with smiles that light up their face learning how to play together. Little hands that use each other for balance, little loud voices talking in a language only they can understand, and an occasional 'get away from me' cry.
