Jesse

Yesterday, Lauryn and I went to my best friends house and got to meet her the newest addition to her family, Jesse Lee :)  He is adorable!  I sometimes forget how tiny babies are!  Lauryn did not like her mama holding on to another baby at all!  She kept trying to get right up and cuddle me while I was holding him and kept saying, "Mama....Hi!"  in her sweet little voice.  It was great finally meeting him and getting to spend some time with Kristin and her family.

I know in previous posts I've mentioned trying out anti wrinkle treatments and things like that but now I'm discovering one thing about getting older that I really don't like at all....Gray Hair! I've seen a few here and there in the past few months but yesterday, when I was getting ready, it seemed like they were all over my head! At first it was just, "Oh man, there's a gray..." and then, "Oh, there's another" but by the time I was done doing my hair it seemed like they were everywhere! I ended up buying some hair dye while I was out. Some things about getting older don't bother me but I am so not ready for all this gray!

Today Was Fun

I went to my friend Kristin's parents house today to visit with her, her son, her mom, her nieces and later her sister.  I had been wanting to get Lauryn and her Kristin's youngest niece together because they are only about 3 weeks apart and they haven't been around each other since they were just a few months old.  It was fun watching them even though they didn't interact too much.  I can't wait to get some of the pictures that Nikki, Kristin's sister, took of the two of them.  It was so nice to get to visit with Kristin!  We don't get to spend nearly enough time together.

Had leftovers for dinner.  Lloyd was supposed to have two games tonight but they ended up being canceled because of the rain.  He's on his way home now.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow.  Lauryn and I are going to meet Lloyd in GR for lunch and then we're going to visit my aunt and old coworkers for a little bit.  I miss them tons!

A Day of Catching Up

So far today, I have cleaned out the fridge, done the dishes, swept, dusted, vacuumed, changed the kitty litter, gathered up any garbage (it goes out tonight) and finished the laundry.  I still have to give the bathroom a good once over and then my house will be looking good.  It's amazing how much harder it's gotten to keep the house up with a seven month old in the picture.  When she was younger I could just plop her in her bouncy seat and get things taken care of.  Now, she's crashing into my ankles when I'm doing the dishes, cruising through my little dirt pile when I'm sweeping and fussing when I'm trying to fold the laundry.  She's not happy to sit in her walker in the door way of the kitchen because she can't see me the whole time...and she can't cruise through the dirt! :)  She's a rambunctious one, for sure!

Tonight my Aunt is coming over to visit.  I'm so looking forward to having her over!  I know she's missing spending time with Lauryn so we really need to start getting together more often!

Last night, Kathye and I actually made more progress on "workout Wednesday" than ever!  We took a 45-ish minute walk and it felt so good!  The hill that goes back up to my house totally kicked my butt though.  Pushing the stroller up it was harder than I thought!  It was good though, to get out, get moving and get Lauryn and Cloz'r some fresh air.  Lauryn had no trouble falling asleep last night!
