A long time coming :P

One of the only nice pics I have with Bethany and me


I know, I'm a schmuck for neglecting my blog for so long (and admittedly opting for an easy way out by posting videos). I don't know what's wrong with me (a mix of facebook, baby and laziness)! Anyhoo, I'm posting now, and I'm guessing not many people will even read this, since I've lost so many of you to my lack of posts. Much has happened, and I'll start with the most recent.

Beth is almost 5 months old!! Yikes, time flies. And as I sit here typing, she's playing with me and giggling - how much fun can we have?!? Here are a few cute pics:

Laughing and playing with mommy (one of our favourites)


Sitting up and so proud :)



On Saturday we had a Dance Dance Revolution Party at my aunt and uncles. It was so much fun, I think we're gonna have to do it more often.

Hubby and I went to see Michael Buble! I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining he was and we really enjoyed ourselves. A vocal play group called Naturally7 opened for him and they were fantastic - totally my kind of music :) We've already agreed to see him in concert the next time he's here.


We went to Palm Springs for Christmas! The weather was sunny, but not as hot as I had hoped. I ended up getting really sick and was in bed and didn't leave the hotel room for 3 days - this really put a damper on the holiday for me. We were happy we had decided to go for 10 days instead of 7, otherwise it would have just been too quick. Bethany and I got Thrush again because I had to go on antibiotics, and for two days I had absolutely no milk, and my supply just got back up in the last few days.


I actually sent out Christmas cards this year!! Big accomplishment, since I've wanted to do it for the last four Christmases! I guess having Beth arrive helped, since we combined "Merry Christmas" with "We have a baby". I wanted to post the card (I actually did for a few days) but then realized it has our last name on it and I can't figure out how to take that part off, so you'll miss out on that one, sorry :(

The schedule thing is going much better (although Sundays and going out always messes it up). But she's content and usually good about the whole thing. Thanks Logziella for the great advice - I LOVE the Babywise book and am trying to find book 2!

And.. I'm running out of news, so I'll just say that I've been in such a moomy (oops, I meant MOMMY, or did I?) mode, that I had my first rehearsal for G & S yesterday and just didn't feel like being there. This has never happened to me, I'm usually totally pumped to go. It's a combo of wanting to be with my little one, not being vocally up to snuff, wanting an actual part (like last year) instead of just being in the chorus and being just plain tired (which seems to make no sense, since she's sleeping through the night). Hopefully I'll be more "there" for tonight's rehearsal.

PS at first I felt bad about so many pics, but then I read Lozi's recent post and all of those feelings went by the waste side.
