1. I was away from home all Friday on an impromptu trip to Omaha. The reason? Wedding dress shopping with a friend. Very, very fun. I was not with her when she said, "Yes, this is the dress," but when we left each other I knew it was in the top two. I have to say, I'm really looking forward to this wedding. Partly, because I have yet to meet the groom, and this is a very dear friend. I can't wait to meet her future husband. But mostly, because it's been a long journey for her through single-hood and trusting the Father to be faithful to her in any form of marital status. It's gonna be a fun party.
2. Eliza has grown so much that when I sit on the floor she's the same height I am. This may not sound like much, but when you are used to looking down into your daughter's face and then being confronted eye-to-eye... well, it's showing how much she's growing up. She's still very much a baby in many ways. Though her vocabulary is growing (she can now communicate "walk", "shoe", and "don't know", among other things, she still can't make every desire perfectly understood, which leads to a great deal of crying and tantrums. Still, I can see the little girl beginning to form from the baby. I miss my baby, a little bit, the ability to cuddle and how she used to lay her head in the crook of my neck when she was tired. Better yet, though, is the enjoyment I get out of this little person developing before my eyes. She's definitely not perfect; she has a lot to learn. I have a lot to learn in being her mama. But she's oh, so sweet!
3. Simon will get first shots the end of this week. Well, the first shots I'm in the room for. Two month old getting five shots. Enough said.
4. The garden is GROWING! I have had several posts I've wanted to put up, but just haven't been able to get to the computer long enough to do it. Nick has been working hard and is very excited. The plans for expansion are coming and already he's talking about how he'll modify it for next year. I should note it in our garden notebook. On his agenda for right now is building the compost bin (he's all about compost) and then making plans for a greenhouse. He plans to build it off our second story kitchen. There's a bit of roof on the back of the house where the first floor juts out a bit, and our kitchen sits looking out on the roof and the backyard. Nick intends to build the greenhouse right off the kitchen door that leads onto the roof so that we can step out into a modest-sized greenhouse for herbs all winter long, and where he can easily begin seedlings for next year's crops. It's rather exciting that we're becoming "serious" gardeners!
5. Started P90X! My body is feeling it. Sadly, I don't think it will happen today, as I didn't get the dvd in time from Nick to work out this morning (and though he said I could, I really didn't want to disturb his sleep). I thought maybe I could this afternoon, but naptime is coinciding with lunch, and I don't want to do this workout with a full stomach! I may have to see if the kids will go down for bedtime tonight and if Nick goes to work in the basement, I might pull it out then! But I'm determined to lose weight and get fit and healthy!
