Little Miss Piggy :)

So there's been quite a lot going on, but most importantly, Gabby has gotten her appetite back! Poor kid, with the teething, she's been turning up her nose to all of the yummies that she normally can't get into her mouth fast enough (broccoli, sweet potatoes, avocado... y'know. yummies.) but today she scarfed down her broccoli and yams, had a handful of cheerios... and wanted more. So I got her avocado and barley. Which she gobbled. So I made her squash and rice. All but the last bite. And lots of water. And Cheerios (which we now call "modified cornstarch! Yum!"...) Anyway, glad she's liking food again. :)


I feel like I'm finally getting caught up with things again. Stuff with our apartment building is caught up. Heritage Makers is going well. I finished that album that somebody paid me to design for them. I've met my goals for the month. Our home is more or less clean again (it was a busy week) So a big "whew!" is how I'm feeling :)

Some fun news: the apartment across the hall from us has been rented by a good friend of ours! Incidentally, our best man who we haven't talked to in about a year - I think we were just growing apart. But he needs a new place to live, and we had a 1bdrm coming available with awesome rental incentives, renovated, etc. and it just worked out :) It'll be fun to have a good friend living really close again, even if it's more Paul's friend than my friend (miss you, Lisa!)

Today, Paul's family did family portraits by this amazing photographer (who also did Gabby's 1-week old pictures, see here) and we all went out to a farm and wore jeans and brown/pink/green... it was a lot of fun. I got to drag Paul to the mall and dress him up. And I got new clothes and a haircut.

Oh yeah! I got a haircut :) It's been about 5 months... I needed it badly... and now it's pretty again :) sorry, I don't have a picture, you'll have to wait :)

Last, I've been reading Wuthering Heights. !!! I started this in high school, and about 2 pages in, it became one of the handful of books in my life that I've put down without finishing. Seriously, I'm pretty easy - I love books, plain and simple. There are very few books that couldn't hold my attention long enough to finish them. I can count them on my fingers. Starting with "Wuthering Heights"! :)

However (and don't judge me!) after reading the Twilight series (5 times) and learning that WH was one of the favorite books of the main character... my curiosity was piqued. And when you're nursing, and there is very little else to do, even the most boring book becomes interesting. Give it 20 pages, and now I'm totally hooked! And having read Twilight, it's even MORE interesting because there are parallels. Seriously fun. Loving the classics :)

What have you been up to?
