Nothing to post.

My brain has been running in low gear for the last little while. So although I wish I had a clever post, I don't.

I went shopping on saturday, and tried on way too many clothes at Target. Trying on clothes sometimes depresses me. I did get a few cute things, though I'm still somewhat undecided about what to wear to the rehearsal on Saturday, which was the main reason I went shopping in the first place.

My brother is getting married in less than a week! I still remember him as he came at me and successfully stabbed me in the forehead with a fork when he was maybe 2, and I was, I guess, 7. You'd think a seven-year-old could fend off a toddler. But apparently I couldn't. And now he's marrying a wonderful, Godly woman. Because he's turned into a pretty great guy, even with that somewhat dubious beginning. I'm excited about getting to be there as they begin their new life together.

Jeff and I finally had our first boating expedition of the summer. The water was super choppy, so I only skied for about 5 minutes, but it was great. Almost as much fun as actually skiing myself was watching two family friends (ages 13 and 10) get pulled on the tube. Kids and tubes are a great combination.

I decided to turn over a new leaf and start packing my lunch. I'm tired of eating somewhat unhealthy lunches just because it's someone else's job to order our lunches for us, and there aren't always healthy options. Instead of grumpily eating whatever it is they order, I (finally) figured out I should just take responsibility and make my own lunch. I got a little box (I do love Target) to put it in.

Jeff and I both get very, very excited whenever we get to stay in hotels. And we leave Wednesday to stay FIVE whole nights in one. Woohoo!

So that's all I've got. Maybe my healthy lunch will kick my brain into high gear and I'll have something more interesting later. But don't hold your breath.

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
