Our Little Podling

This morning i gave Esther morningstar veggie sausage links for the first time. She takes a tentative bite, then goes "yum, yum... mmmm mmm. Deeelicious!" and proceeds to shove the whole sausage into her mouth.

A little later, i go to hit play on the remote for the CD player and she comes running over and goes "mama, ready, set, gooooo!" just as the music starts to play.






In other news: It's a bit premature, but i'm ready for spring.

And I keep vainly hoping that my dream job is going to walk in, grab me by the lapels and say "Let's go kid." And we'd be off to live in some wonderful land where i don't feel like hiding under the bed every morning before going to work.

i hate this time of year.

And Happy Valen-Times Day!

I know valentimes is for saps and people who believe in cliches... and well... i'm one of them.

One time i got my roommates presents for valentimes and also made them heart shaped pancakes. What can i say i love to tell people that i love them.

I made banana-apple muffins and an omelet for Ben this morning before i left for work.
On the front seat of my car this morning i found that Ben packed me a lunch. I'm not allowed to look in the bag until lunch time but something tells me it's full of brie!!

Christmas in February

Finally, the long awaited, long neglected christmas pic post:

Esther in a box and Esther in Boots

Oh, yeah... and Ben too.

Esther's New Shoes (for Sri Lanka)

Esther's brushes her 6 teeth.

Finally, a new post

One of Esther's favorite games is to take her shoes off her feet and put them on her hands. Then she will either crawl around on all fours and growl... or she will attempt to pick things up, in this case she just picked up her doll and threw it in the cardboard box. And this face obviously says, "And what is not normal about that, mom?"

It's been almost a month...

I'm sorry i haven't been posting. I've been extremely busy at work and at home...

Work is driving me so crazy right now that i actually broke out in hives on friday while working from home (which you would think would be less stressful) due to an extremely frustrating phone conference.

In other news, we have purchased our tickets to Sri Lanka. We're leaving end of May and getting back mid June. I'm so excited/nervous/anxious... everyone on the plane is going to hate us...

but maybe it'll be worth it when Esther sees the Elephants.

I promise to post something decent soon.
