Music please?

I have a request. If you could please suggest some songs that are good to run to, I would greatly appreciate it. My running play list is the same as the one I used when I ran the Dallas Marathon...and that was a very long time ago (2004? Can't remember...). I NEED some new music. Though I still love running to MC Hammer and the Spice Girls...and any Rocky music. Just leave any suggestion you have in the comment section, or send me an e-mail :)

THANKS!!

In other unrelated news...I made THIS for lunch today. Um....YUM! Especially with Chocolate chips sprinkled on top....

'Liva's house

This morning we went over to Christine's house to hang out. I didn't get the camera out until the very end of the visit, so I didn't get pictures of Eli playing with Angela's ceramic birds, or them fighting over the Handy Many tools, or chasing each other with the stroller. I did, however, get pictures of Eli throwing dirt everywhere...

And when I tried to get pictures of Olivia, she would only pose in the chair :)

She's so cute!!

She also got to hold Leah a couple of times. She LOVES babies :)

We had loads 'o fun, and Eli was wiped out by the time we left. Leah...not so much, but Eli took a good nap :)

Sleep In Heavenly Peace...

This morning Leah slept until 8:20. I got to sleep until 7:00...until Eli crawled in bed with me and played until 7:30 when I got up. Did I mention Leah slept until 8:20? I haven't slept in that late without getting up in the night for a very long time (though Leah no longer nurses in the night, she usually wakes up and needs her pacifier...more on that later...). We got up and got ready to go to the class I teach. I got Eli dressed, then realized it was pretty warm out, so I took the hooded sweatshirt off...

...but apparently he wanted it on...hood and all. I'm thinking he's a Michigan fan (Go Blue!)

On the way home he was apparently wiped out...I love that he is using his cup as an elbow rest...and you can see bits of granola bar on his lip :)

Leah was out too. Pretty blurry picture of her. I was taking these as I stopped at red lights, and I can't see Leah while I'm driving, so I took this one kinda blind. I posted it only because it's so cute to see her sucking her thumb :)

I think I've created a monster, however. This is how Leah MUST sleep. She's swaddled so tight, and the blanket has to come up and hold the pacifier in. She'll sleep in the car seat, but if she's in bed, she's gotta be swaddled...and when she works her way out, she wakes up...which is fine, unless it's 2 am. Then it's annoying.

She looks like a little mummy :)

Did I mention she slept until 8:20 this morning? Without waking up in the night? Oh I did? Sorry.

We'll work on breaking the 'swaddling' habit another night. Tonight she's snuggled up tight :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope your Valentine's Day was lovely :) Leah borrowed her brother's bib...(He wore it HERE)
She's getting so big! Sorry...no pictures of Eli. He was running around all day, and I just didn't get any of him.
Edgar got me flowers for Valentines Day. So pretty :) I love having fresh flowers in the house. He knows that. He did good :)
Leah went for her 4 month appointment today. She is now 27 in. long (99th percentile) 16 lb 6 oz (91st percentile) and her head is 16 inches around (30th percentile...) She's good and healthy...with a small head :) She got 2 shots, but did amazingly well. Very few tears, and the she fell asleep on the way home.
This afternoon was spent baking Ben's birthday cookies (almost done!) and making chicken pot pie. Then tonight I tutored a girl in Algebra I. It's been a while since I've tutored one-on-one, and I had fun doing it. I kinda miss it :)
And that was our day.

Fun first :)

I have tried several times to upload a video...but I think it is entirely too huge (231,000 KB...) so I am going to give up and just tell you :)

Leah rolled over for the first time last night. And has since rolled over a bunch of times today. I actually caught her VERY FIRST roll over on video. But you can't see it, because the file is too big. Unless you want to come over to my house and see it. Too bad for those of you that live too far away ;)

Just thought I'd share :)

Our Half-time Entertainment...

Hope your half-time was as fun as ours ;)

Just a couple pics

I was going through pictures tonight, trying to get them organized...there are so many I wish I would have posted...I still might post a few, but these were a couple that I thought you'd enjoy seeing :) Really trying to do better with keeping the blog updated...the big problem is, our internet slows WAY down at night, and that is when I can usually post...and it takes for.e.ver to upload...so that's why I haven't been posting as often.

Anyway...enjoy :)

Just a quick 'sit', but she's getting closer to sitting :)
