Getting the Giggles

There have been several episodes of "the giggles" this week, which is a good thing since the most commonly used term to describe how Im feeling these days is "short-tempered" (that's the nice version). We got the giggles on the way home from some errands because of a disagreement on how fast it is to get home 2 different routes (I say one is faster, Hubband says the other is), we got the giggles over his drive home from the base on Sunday afternoon, which was perfectly matched by the opera memphis song playing on the radio (right down to the grand finale and final note just as he pulled the brake in the driveway), etc. But I think the best one is the fit of giggles I just had. Im sitting curled up on the couch with my laptop, editing hematology (or trying to... my eyes keep crossing) and suddenly my computer started jumping. I looked down and Ella was kicking with all her might at the edge of the laptop that was touching my tummy. I started laughing, which apparently made her madder, because the kicks got harder and my laptop started doing something I can only call a "lap dance". Once I opened blogger, though, Ella decided that she would rather kick my ribs since the pesky computer wasn't going anywhere. Still. A dancing computer. >squee<

33 weeks

Well, its a self portrait, and my hair is wet, but here is my 33 weeks glory!

Progress

The tile is finally going in! Well, it's kind of been going in all week, what with some setbacks in other areas, but the last of it goes down tonight! This is what the dining room looked like when we ran out to a social committee meeting at the church:



Patient dog waiting for Dad to come out of the gated area and play.

King of the hill could care less, as long as you move the stove before too long. Its taking up lounging space in his living room.


Mixing more thinset....but its fun when you get to pour it out on the floor!

I like running my paws through the goop and then leading mom and dad all over the house trying to catch me to clean them off. Its a great game! Of course, then they put that fence up and now I can't get to the goop. What a drag.
Oh, and by the way? All these pics are courtesy of Hubband and I's Christmas gift to ourselves (or Valbirthmas...if you figure its really for all those). We bought a new digital camera last month and it finally arrived today!

Live Long, and Prosper!

Our newest nephew is well prepared to join the ranks of the Trekkies in this family.... Isn't he adorable?!!

Welcome Griffin Joseph Woodside!

Welcome to the world, Baby Spencer!!

Our dear friends the Spencers have welcomed their first child, a little girl, to the world today! She was born at 2:59 pm weighing 6 pounds and 10 ounces. Congratulations, guys! We can't wait to meet your little miracle!

A Little Behind...

But here is a pic of the "gang" on Christmas day, proudly displaying our hors d'oevre table. :-) Left to right: Cherry Sims (Jae's mom), Krissa, Erin, Jae, Hubby, and me (with Ella!)
