Chocolate Snitch

The other day Awna D (Grandma Fruge) was making chocolate frosting. Meredith was having dinner and heard the noises of the beaters and became very interested in what was going on. So Awna D moved closer to her so she could see the beaters in motion. Meredith loved that. At one point, Awna D stopped and walked away from the beaters to grab something. As soon as she did Meredith grabbed one of the beaters, got chocolate frosting on her hands and then immediately put her hands in her mouth. It was so delicious! She was in heaven. We all just laughed.

Congrats Rob and Tiff!

My brother Rob called at 5:40 this morning... he and his wife Tiffany welcomed a new son this morning at 3:30 in the morning. Baby Luke is doing well. He weighed in at over 9lbs...unfortunately, the call came so early, I was still half asleep, so I can't remember the exact stats. But Rob said he was born at home with the help of a midwife and that mom and baby are doing great! CONGRATULATIONS! Love you guys!


Update: He weighed 9 pounds 13 Ounces. Here's a picture:

Soooo Sleepy!

So Tired!

I'm a Blue Crayon... who knew??

Took this test, and apparently my crayon color is blue. It does sound like me, though.

You Are a Blue Crayon

Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors. You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find. On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody. However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front. Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.

What Color Crayon Are You?

A Trip to the Library

The other day we took Meredith to the library! The local library here has a really cute children's room with stuffed characters and their corresponding books lining the tops of the shelves. Meredith loved looking at all the characters. She really wanted to taste them, but I wouldn't let her. But we did pick out a few books and sat on the floor and looked at them. Meredith loves books! I'm so glad because I love to read them to her. Here's a few pictures of our trip to the library:

Rubber Ducky... You Make Bathtime Lots of FUN!

Court and I got Meredith this new rubber ducky for her bath! It's actually her own personal kiddie pool that she can play and splash in. Of course, she is growing so fast, I assume she'll be too big for this in no time. Good thing it was only $10. But in the meantime, it's cute to see her in it. Although she still hasn't learned that bath time can be fun...she can actually splash mommy and daddy and get water everywhere. She just kinda sits there and plays with the little ducks and/or the wash cloth. But I guess she'll figure it out soon enough. And then I'll be wearing a slicker, hip boots, and protective goggles when I bathe her! Kinda a funny mental image! LOL!

Sicky Sicky

Well, I just got back from the doctor, and I am definitely sick! I have bronchitis, laryngitis, a sinus infection and the flu! Lovely! Been in bed since Friday and the Dr. says I'll start feeling better in 48 hours. Lovely again! Mostly I just miss Meredith and Court...I've had to keep my distance because I'm very contagious. So sad! :(

The Grinch Is Dead

Sadly, we got hit by vandals the other night and the Grinch was snuffed out. We heard it pop and Court and some others ran outside and saw the two guys who did it. One of them was in the process of removing the Christmas lights on one of the bushes. He dropped them and ran. The other was running from the Grinch. We're not sure if he was trying to steal the Grinch and accidentally popped it, or if he just wanted to Pop it. Court thinks it's the latter. Either way, makes me sad. Why do people do such things? I just don't get people like these two guys. Thank goodness my parents taught me better. I hope I can teach Meredith to be a better person.

It's kinda hard to see, but if you look at the center of the picture, you can see the big hole.

A closer look

Happy Feet!

Court's Celebrity Look-alikes

Meredith's Celebrity Look-alikes

I find it interesting that Meredith also looks like Fred Savage...obviously she gets that from her mom (see my celebrity look-alikes in a previous post - scroll down). And how does she look like Mary-Kate Olsen and not Ashley Olsen???
