Happy 4th O'July!

I usually have to work on the 4th but not this year!!
I was desperate to find a parade near us (how come no one has parades anymore!?) but had no such luck. We decided to hit one of my old neighborhoods (Junior High & High School) for their parade and met up with G'ma & G'pa.
It was really long and we didn't make it to the end but Tiny loved it and was exhausted by the time we left.

famine

I know I am late posting about this but I really haven't been able to put my emotions into words. It is absolutely heartbreaking what is happening in Ethiopia. As a mother, I cannot fathom having to helplessly watch my child starve to death.

This shouldn't be happening.

Please also check out this family's blog-they have a great way to help.

The Taste

Really, we must have been absolutely out of our minds to go but we had a fantastic time (minus the last 2 hours!)

Found this blog over at Heather's blog.

Wow.

It really puts things into perspective. You really never know when your life is going to change. Wow.

WATCH OUT!

I'm going to start *jogging.

No really, I am. I swear.

Contrary to what Ryan thinks, I am not starting to *jog just so I can get a kick ass jogging stroller.

Although, BOB certainly helps with the motivation.

*refers to walking faster than I normally would, with the occasional jog thrown in. I'm a horrible exerciser but now that I have surpassed the 30 mark I feel like I should do something.

Rainy Day Fun

It was a crappy day here in the Midwest so we met some friends at the children's museum for a little fun.

Boy, that place sure is over-stimulating. It was jam packed with kids and noise. Tiny loved it. I needed an advil or a cocktail (or both!) after spending an afternoon there.
