Through The Years

Since this is the time of year for reflection, I give you the kids through the years. It begins with Davis' first Christmas because that is when we first had the digital camera. We have a scanner but for some reason it does not work. So I can not put pictures of Emma's first Christmas's on here. Besides, seeing Emma on her first Christmas might cause me to fall into a depression.

Here they are:

Davis on his first Christmas. ~2004~ (sniff, sniff, where did my baby go???)

Davis on his second Christmas. ~2005~

Davis on his third Christmas. ~2006~

Emma on her fifth Christmas. ~2004~

Emma on her sixth Christmas. ~2005~

Emma on her seventh Christmas. ~2006~

Davis obviously looks very different from each year. Emma you can see, looks almost the same from 2004 to 2005. But then from last year to this year.....she looks older. Both of the kids look a lot bigger and older this year than last year. My kids are growing up. And no one asked me if it was okay.

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew?
