Best. Day. Ever.

Today is the greatest day of my life. Mr. Burns got the Lion Cut. I've wanted to do this for years and now my dreams have come true! We knew we had to do something when we caught him climbing in and out of the storm sewer and coming back in the house with dreadlocks crusted with twigs and berries. He was a mess. Now he's beautiful and enjoying the attention that he's been deprived of for the last 3 months! :)

do you like my pouffy tail??

on the prowl

Here are some recent pictures of my Maddie girl...

The Stars at Night are Big and Bright...

Deep in the heart of Texas!!

Well, it's official. The cat is out of the bag: we're headed to Houston. Jeff got a great offer from ExxonMobil on Tuesday and has accepted. He doesn't have a start date yet, but it will likely be some time in October. We're very excited to start a new phase of our lives. Once the details get hammered out, we'll be taking a trip out there to find our first house!!! I'm so excited! I can't wait to have a yard for the doggies and Maddie girl, a big kitchen and a workshop for Jeff (and me). The great thing about this move is that it's paid for, which means the Scout is coming with us! whoop whoop!

More details to come...

The Bimbo... or Bumbo... or something

We went to Kid 2 Kid and got this little seat called the Bumbo that allows babies to sit up on their own. She was able to sit for about a minute before she started slumping over, but she seemed to like it nonetheless.





Please note the monkey toes (I call them her tingers) with the odd pinky toe at a 90 degree angle to the rest. They are identical to Jeff's feet and my assurance that, even though she has light hair and eyes, the milkman did not come by while Jeff was in Oregon last summer!

An afternoon at Vanessa's house

Maddie and I hung out at Vanessa's house yesterday afternoon after she got back from San Fran. Maddie needs her daily dose of spicy Latina!



Her eyes are just getting bluer... weird!

she's pushing herself up really well now

Growin' up...

On her 10wk birthday Maddie started rolling over! We think she's going to be an athlete.
