My manly man part 1

Posted on by

This weekend we had planned to finish moving out of the old place and cleaning it. Unfortunately Waldo had to work on Saturday so packing and moving got pushed back to Sunday. We decided to take advantage of the time we had to spare on Saturday and Waldo did some grown up manly Daddy stuff.

First he mowed the back yard. It needed it much more then the front.

We just bought the mower so he had to do a few test runs to get the right weed grass height.

first test

nope too low

While he adjusted the mower Lily and I looked around the yard and found these cute tiny flowers.

Here are the three test runs Waldo did. I believe he went with the second height.

And here is the finished yard.

Dear Lily,

Today you are 5 months old.  It is just amazing to me that 5 whole months have pasted since you came into our lives, but I can’t remember life before you either.  You are just such a part of day to day life for your Daddy and I and we have such a good rhythm with you now that 5 months seems perfectly feasible.

I really hope that month 5 is more calm then month 4 was.  Lets see you got more or less diagnosed as failure to thrive, put back on a few ounces of formula a day, had a CT scan, blood drawn from both arms, we’ve moved, you really started to talk, you helped me celebrate my first Mother’s day, you figured out what your hands do and I’m sure there were a couple of things I forgot.  Boy I’m warn out.  🙂  Oh yea your blew a few raspberrys.

You can keep up with the milestone stuff but this house and medical stuff is for the birds.

You seem to be under the impression that once you do something twice you never have to do it again.  You won’t roll over for me no matter what now, but I have pictures of you doing it in the past.  You blew 2 raspberrys and won’t do it again no matter how hard Daddy and I try to get you to.  Please for my sanity get over this twice is enough mind set.

I swear you are on the verge of laughing I just haven’t figured out how to send you over the edge.  Every once in a while you will make this crazy sound like your sucking in air really hard with a big grin on your face and I just know that some day that will be a big belly laugh.  You don’t seem to be ticklish so trying to tickle you just pisses you off.  Peek a boo don’t do it, when I put a blanket up to block me from you or bend down and pop up and say boo you just look at me like you knew I was there all along and don’t know why I bothered.  Please help me out and tell me what to do to make you laugh.  Please!

I love you Sweet Girl,

Mommy

Aloha Friday 5-22-08

Posted on by


In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. I like the idea, therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

Do you ever take your wedding off?

I guess this question kind of excludes some people so if you aren’t married what do you think you would do?

Me; I almost never wear mine.  That’s because I only wear it when I leave the house.  I don’t like to wear it at home because I have to take it off to wash my hands anyway (which I am doing every time I turn around).  Also I don’t want to scratch Lily with it.  I love my ring, my Hubby did a great job picking it out.  I wish I could wear it more often but its not practical.
