a little bit of this, a little bit of that

Oh geez baby, look how lazy I have been at updating this already. Is your shiney new-ness wearing off a bit already? Impossible I say!

In my defense we have been busy. Let’s see, we went to L.A. to surprise your Uncle Joe for his 40^th birthday.....check out the video below. Btw babe, can you believe you have an Uncle that is 40?!! Ew :o) We spent lots of time in L.A. with your cousins Nate and Zach and their eight, yes eight bunnies (insert birds and bees talk here). Nate and Zach have predicted that you, baby, are a boy with curly dark hair and eyes and that your name is Tyler. I wanted to tell them that I was next to positive that your name is not Tyler, but I decided not to burst their 6 and 3 year old bubbles.

We also got to see my buddy, Chandra while we were in L.A., and just like a good buddy she is cooking up a playmate for you! Perfect timing, but a tad geographically undesirable. Her bebe is due in November, so you guys will be almost exactly 2 months apart. We must start plotting ways to Jedi Mind Trick her hubby into moving to Chicago. As previously mentioned, I am sort of busy these days babe, so I delegate that task to you. So whip out your monocle and hairless cat and get to hatching some plans.

Your Dad and I also painted our master bathroom, you know, for you. I am just sure your soul would have been assaulted by the old color in there. It was this yellow-ish/beige-ish color that, along with the tan-ish tile, resulted in a bathroom we not so lovingly referred to as “Desert Storm.” It was certain to be unflattering to your newborn complexion, especially if, God forbid, you are suffering from any sort of jaundice. Now it is a lovely calming grey and I know you are sighing baby sighs of relief in utero right now.

Also your Grammie came to visit and I think we hit up every baby store in the city. We were all exhuastified baby, but we had so much fun. She is soooo excited to meet you (naturally) and bought you all kinds of cute prezzies.

So see, that’s a whole lot. Don’t be mad. Just remember all those presents you scored. Presents make everything better.
