Oh baby!!

Here's my "baby"... :0)
Poor guy. He took a bite of the lemon from his water at Chino's, (I had been doing it too, but I do not make faces like that...), and his face was hilarious!!!! I wanted a picture of it, so I made him take another bite. He is so obliging.

A Poem...

...about Minnesota Winters

MINNESOTA Poem



It's winter in Minnesota
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.

Oh,
how I love Minnesota
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.


Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Minnesota

'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!!

My aunt sent this to me, they live in Northern MN....

Too cute!

I just found a super cute site for baby announcements. NOOOO, Kyle and I do not need this, a friend posted it on her blog, and since all you mommies are having babies and needing announcements, I thought I would pass it on.... Rattle and Roll

Prayer

Pray for Kyle and Me please.
We just found out that he is not allowed to work more than 19.75 hours per week. He has been working about 25.
Apparently he is classified as an Intern, and as such is not allowed to go over 20 hours a week, even though he has been working 20+ hours a week since he started working there (almost a year ago). We do not think that he will be able to change his classification.
This puts quite a damper on our income. With me working now, it will help, but my income was helping before we found this out, so, things will be tighter now. Luckily over breaks the "Interns" (which is almost the entire staff of Junior Developers) are allowed to work full time, so he will be able to work 40 hours a week on Spring Break and over the summer, and that will create a nice buffer, but even so...

A good reminder.

Go here. It is a good reminder when we get so caught up in our own lives.... I know I tend to forget.

I would have posted this fully here, but there is no way to hide it behind a link, so every you or I come here it would play, until I posted enough to make it go to the next page.... bother.

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living!

Yeah, it just doesn't sound as good when you make it 9 to noon, oh well.

In case you haven't figured it out, I got a job!!! I am the new Youth Admin. Assistant at Grace. yay me!!

My first day was today, and it was mostly get situated and figure out where stuff is and how to work the machines, so tomorrow I really have to work, hehehe!

whistle while you work

So I have been immensely lazy lately (yes, I can admit it) and haven't really been keeping up on the housework. I know it needs to get done, but, well, I just don't want to do it, I can always use good motivation, such as friends who are in town that we haven't seen since the wedding, who happen to want to see our new home. YIKES!!!!!! so, one whirlwind of a cleaning afternoon, Kyle comes home after work and school and says.....

"Wow. Is this the same house I left this morning?"

Um. Thanks. I think?

I still have some more detailed stuff to do, but it will be much easier as the clutter is put away now.



On another note. I applied for an Admin. job and interviewed for it yesterday, I should know by next week. Please keep it in your prayers if you remember.

and a partridge in a pear tree....

We went and cut down our first Christmas Tree this year, the first weekend in December. I know, I am a horrible blogger!!!

Anyway, here are the pictures. Thanks Jeannette for letting us know about Holloways!

Here is Kyle all ready to be manly man and cut down our tree.


This is the "I can't find the right tree in a field of hundreds!!" look.


But then we did and Kyle chopped, er, sawed, it down.


Lights are on, now it's really Christmas here!!!!


Here it is all decorated and lit up


Our new stockings, and one for Kiko. I love them!
