From a few steps to across the room

Lily Steps

Here is a sample of Lily taking some steps. Why is it that all the good videos we take I look like crap? Excuse my hair/clothes. It was early in the morning and I hadn't gotten ready yet. ha ha!

Is it really Sunday?

Superbowl Sunday! Go Giants! (I'm really a Colts girl, but hey, it's a Manning *and* it's not the Patriots!)

This week went by way too fast. This week I worked in the mornings. Then had something to do almost every day in the afternoons.

Another fun fact happened today. Lily took a few steps on her own! Very exciting! I know soon she will be tooting around like an old pro.

Playdate on Friday with the girl friends.

Weekend at home and with friends...

This weekend was a typical weekend for us. Some time at home, some time with friends. On Saturday, we spent the morning in our pajamas and in the afternoon we went to the South part of Denver to meet up with my Webster University friends.

Boxed up Lily - Is this were babies come from?

Jennifer, Me
LuAnn and James
The Webster Friends - we had many many many classes together while working on our Masters in HR Management. We all graduated May of 06!

We met in S. Denver as Jennifer has since moved to Longmont, CO and LuAnn moved to Castle Rock, CO. and Denver was a good middle ground place to meet. We went to CB & Potts Restaurant.

Hairy Situation

Back in December I allowed my gray hairs to get on my nerves. Instead of going to see my hairdresser, I decided to take matters into my own "Nice and Easy" hands. I bought a box of "dark brown", which is pretty much my natural hair color. I loaded up my color, sat down to read a book and wait the 25 minutes. I was then reading "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult. The book was so good, I read for 35 minutes. Oops! Well, the box says "dark brown" and it's okay if my hair gets really dark brown. I washed my hair and oh no! I now have black hair! What?? The box said "dark brown" not "black". So, I looked up how to correct too dark hair color and found that clarifying shampoos help. It is now January and I still wasn't happy with my goth look, so I made an appointment with my hairdresser. I have been wanting to donate my hair to Locks of Love once my hair is long enough and I found out that I can even donate colored hair - yippee! So, my efforts to grow out my hair is still good.
Here is my new hair. I had Tonia (hairdresser) put lots of red highlights in to break up my dark, dark hair. I'm quite enjoying the new color.
