Still alive

After a busy week of packing and chasing an ever-continuing mobile and hammy princess, I am taking a breather to tell you we're still alive, and very anxious for this move on Saturday. Joey has handled it pretty well considering her playground (living room) seems to be over-run with boxes. Of course this means a whole new jungle to explore and keeps me on my toes even more, but I digress. I'm loving the chance to be with her all day, and if I wasn't so stressed about everything being done in time (its in my nature) I think I'd say forget it and play with her all day.

Josh has been amazing, supportive, and patient through it all, despite my nagging for him to finish his big term paper. But he managed to plan an excellent date for my birthday, and he gave me a new wedding ring. He's wanted to get me something a little bigger from day one, and I came across one I wanted, so he bought it with part of his bonus a couple months ago, and has been planning this big evening ever since. It was perfect. He made me laugh hysterically, gave me bling, then took me on a carriage ride, which I've always wanted to do. I love that the three circles are actually made up of a bunch of smaller diamonds that look kinda like flowers. I love it!

Ok, here's a bunch of pictures of our silly little girl. Most of them are pretty goofy. I've had to get a little creative in keeping her entertained so I could get stuff for the move done. That and I frequently find her getting into interesting things. I'll be glad when this week is over.

Being a mommy is so great, and I'm sad I missed out on when she was still tiny, but I'm loving this interactive stage.
