No posts for a few days

Well sadly in the move we are without internet for a few days. Why don't you just take away my oxygen? lol. I'm still doing my pic of the day and will post them all in order when we are back online and connected to the outside world again. The modem and install guy are set to arrive on the 11th.

January 6th - Sick Little Girl

January 6th - Sick Little Girl, originally uploaded by christakp.

Day 6 and now both kids are sick. :( January is off to a rocky start isn't it? She's home from school and has been tossing her cookies this morning. Ethan has been fussing and all of his breakfast came up. I'm up to my ears in things to do but am currently housebound. Lord please make my children well. Please?

Ethan climbing up the stairs in the new house. I looked everywhere for a decent baby gate and the one I bought is a piece of crud. It is so hard to put together. Guess I'll have to return it tomorrow and find a better one. Meaning I'll have to bite the bullet and drive ALL THE WAY to babies R Us.

So I spent all of January 5th unpacking and moving. The POD is empty I'm happy to report thanks to Raymond (brother in law) and Steve (father in law). I have tons of unpacking to do and the house is a mess but at least I can call and have the POD picked up.

January 4th

Starting January 4th early, very very early. We're talking 2 am. Yes Ethan was up all night hugging the bowl. Poor baby. We were also up all night with him. His monkey beach towel spread out on the bed underneath us and a poor unsuspecting blue bowl to keep us safe from a huge mess. The little guy tossed and turned all night long. I'm exhausted and there is so much to be done today.

Today we are signing our lease for the new house. I was envisioning a picture of the house as day #4 but I think this is more memorable. lol

I'm up before dawn because today I must make an appointment for the lease signing, get Mack up and off to school, re-hydrate Ethan, go get a bank check and oh yes ~ make it to the vehicle licensing agency driving a car with expired tabs without getting caught and ticketed. Wish me luck!

Posted a day late of course! Ethan having a "chat" with his big sister. Consisting mostly of babbles and hand gestures. He's our sweet little boy and will most likely be competing with his sister for blog space on this project.

Ethan riding on his new radio flyer rocket that he received for Christmas. Being the daredevil that he is (yes even at 15 months) he spends a lot of his time trying to stand and balance on it, much to my terror.

Here is a fun scrap page I made today using a freebie from Polly&Rufus Designs

A New Year

Project 365 - Day 1

It was hard to choose a photo but I have to start somewhere, right? I'm going to post one of my gorgeous blue eyed beauty. :) Love her! I took this photo on Auto settings with my little Kodak, this shot is SOOTC no editing done. Imagine how much I could make her eyes pop with PS editing? I may have to play around with that later.


Edited to add a photoshop version of the picture. I love it in black and white!


Oh and while I'm at it here is a picture of the view from my mom's deck. It snowed yesterday and I caught a shot before it all melts away.

Happy New Year

Wow, this is my first post since March 2008! I guess I'm a blogger slacker. My resolution is to try and keep up with this and be a better blogger. I've finally figured out how to get a background on here, yay!!! It only took a whole day... not bad, right?

Sooooooo New Years..... yeah. What have we done today? Not much. A load of laundry in the dryer, both kids bathed and one down for a nap. Mike has been reading all day. We are kind of boring. Oh well.

I'm going to also start project 365 today. I've been looking around trying to figure out what the heck is worth a picture today? Hmmmmmm..... I feel all this pressure to post a really great picture today because it's the very beginning of this 365 day project. Is there anything worthy? I'll be posting one tonight so hopefully I'll find inspiration somewhere. Welcome to 2010!
