Nori & I did some quick shoe shopping this morning and found a cute pair for summer but still no Easter shoes anywhere in her size. I think she is too old to pull off the barefoot baby routine especially now that she is finally taking more steps on her own. After that Angie Mc suggested a sunny picnic at the park and all the moms (and babies) had fun. Missy & I reminisced about all the hoops we played in her driveway. We are just gearing up for Fun Fridays this summer in her pool. The husbands will get off work early to take care of the kids and make boat drinks while we work on our tans. Truly, why get your own pool with all the hassles when you can just use the Hos'...I am positive they would not mind a bit if you & your posse came over, too.

Great Friday (an eggcelent day)!
Why can't EVERY day be just like today? With the exception of the fact that we are having guacamole and brownies ( the only two foods we always have on hand) for supper, it was perfect!



Tonight we played outside and then colored Easter eggs! It was very fun although next year I will remember to hard boil them first. Norelle made sure Daddy's egg has decals on it that say "princess" and "sweet". Jake did remember to make an egg for Dorothy but says he ran out of space so that is why he eliminated an "O" from her name. Hmmm...



Good Friday

In our neighborhood...
Searchers are out in full force handing out fliers and talking to residents about the missing St. Thomas student, Daniel Zamlen.There are five of them sitting on the wall in our front yard right now. Please pray that Daniel is found safe. I hope's it's not related to the controversial so-called smiley face killer that is theorized by some ex-cops to be connected with the murder of Chris Jenkins at the U of M and up to 40 other college-aged men. Maybe I have seen too many episodes of Dexter...

Passion.Ate
As in what we did this morning - listened to the Passion while Nori ate Cheerios off the pew. Never have I seen such a good girl in church, she loves making new friends by playing 'pass the baby doll' with strangers. Sometimes I look at her realizing how beautiful she is and how lucky I am that she is all mine...to smother! My new favorite thing is her little wispy baby hairs that are too short to go up in her ponytail so they just stick out onto her forehead. So cute.
Relaxing weekend full of food, friends, shopping for me (BTB, if you find any cute non-undershirt short-sleeve onesies in 18 month size, let me know) and a trip to Austin, MN for Jake & his daughter to see her grandparents & great grandparents!
Sometimes people say to me "How DO you do it all?". Actually, they really say is "Why DO you share all the mundane details?" but I hear it as "How DO you do it all?". "Simple" I answer, "I'm not normal". Papa, that one is for you...
Finally, I am bummed that my mom's adhesions are troubling her again. Do you remember that awesome (warning: SUPER GROSS photos follow) bowel obstruction and lysis surgery of 2007? It SUCKS that she has so much chronic abdominal and back pain that prevent her from being the young buck she wants to be. Here's her old crappy website I made in 2002 from scratch using HTML code! I love you, Mom!

More BS
Oh my, I am TIRED today! I have been working very hard on my site visit application, consulting with those Henry Adams-quoting colleagues and doing my homework to make the best case possible as to why they should select little old me! For many years I had the freedom to travel, but I didn't have feet that would cooperate. Figures that now I have the sweetest baby ever (who was SO angry that I wouldn't let her sleep with a wooden spoon - she already had a stacking cup, her Curious George stuffie and a bunny blanket), I may have opportunities to travel. Baby's first trip to New Zealand?!
As you surely know, Britney Spears will be in town this weekend for her Circus tour. No, I am not going. I am not even allowed to buy the CD! But, I am wondering what the odds are of bumping into her? Like at MOA or the strip club. You know, she is dating her back-up dancer right? He's 21 but mature for his age. I have been told not talk about my fondness for BS because it is "embarrassing". So, just pretend you didn't read this.
