In two months minus two days, we'll be living here:

In the two months minus two days until we leave, we'll be: getting passports. packing. selling everything we own. researching. cleaning. improving our Arabic. learning how not to offend Arabs. buying lots and lots of sunscreen.


Egypt, here we come!!

The tiniest exhibitionist

Every time we get ready for a jaunt in the tub, Atticus LOVES the nakedness. I usually let him roll around a bit and enjoy himself. Luckily, we've never had an accident but I know I'm a glutton for punishment one of these days.


But how cute is that little bum?













And post-bath, nice and clean... and diapered.

To boost or not to boost

Utah lawmaker Chris Herrod is attempting to reverse the current legislation on requiring booster seats for children until they're 8. I'm personally against it. What are your thoughts? Should we legislate parenting?

305th post

Monday night, I nursed walking around Sam's Club.

Today is a busy day. I've already been to work, bathed and napped with The Guy, a few hours there will be a daytime social with the moms in my ward, and tonight is Book Club. It's TWO months worth of Book Club because we missed last month because our organizer was on maternity leave (she had the cutest baby beginning of January). Our books are Count of Monte Cristo and Eat Pray Love. I'm personally very proud of myself for finishing the Count. That is a DANG long book. But who knew it was so good!? We have the old 7-hour movie to watch sometime this week. Exciting.

My baby LOVES avocado. Which means, naturally, that I have to buy them every time I go grocery shopping. Oh darn.

We are singing this little ditty in our home recently. It's one of my new favorites.



Life is grand.

The Haps

Valentine's Dance

Put on by the stake, had an awesome chocolate fountain.

Shrove Tuesday with the Local Episcapalions

The had a pancake dinner to kick off Lent

 

(I have them in black and white because the color was really off on the pictures)

Last but not least, on the way to the Pancakes, we snapped this picture

Thedore laughs on channel 2

We just uploaded Theodore learning how to laugh. Let us know if you would like access to the Theodore channel and you don't have it.

Atticus learning to laugh

In this last one, he wouldn't stop looking at the camera instead of dad, so we had to abscond it.

Caitlin's theme song

I want, I want, I want

We haven't really bought much baby stuff. And the baby stuff we have bought has mostly been used. We've even made money on buying used and then reselling after we're done with it (baby swing, diapers, etc.) Not to mention, Atticus was free to birth, so we're probably going to make money on having a baby this year with taxes and such.

There is one thing, I really really REALLY want recently (probably more than one thing actually, but this is one big thing).

One of these:




This, dear readers, is called a Chariot. It looks like an ordinary bike trailer, but it is not, I assure you. It is bike trailer/stroller/jogging stroller/cross country skier should you want to go. But.... we simply can't afford it right now. Until we can, we'll just borrow the Lee's. Because let's face it, if they had never let me use it once, I would not be addicted. Now they are obligated.

Best friends

Atticus has two best friends. Eliza and Annabelle.

They even share carseats sometimes.
