Sleeping Baby, Room, Knitting and something for the husband...

Lily is taking a 2 hour nap!! She was quite fussy today and guess she just needed some sleep. She really really really wants to crawl/walk/move and hasn't quite figured it out yet. You can do it Lily!


These are pics of her room - still under construction. Slowly but surely it will be completed.

Here is my knitting project so far. This is a sweater for David. The front part is done! I'm now working on the back. Next will be the sleeves, then the neck, then the fun project of putting them all together!Here is our dog, Maya. I tease David that he has more pictures of the dog than his own child! Here David, I took a picture of Maya too!! :) (check out his blog. Notice the top picture, hee hee)

Tiki Party 07

Lisa and Rik had their annual Tiki Party on Saturday. It was a lot of fun! Thanks Lisa and Rik for the invite! Always good to see you guys!!

Betsy and Roger - good friends of ours. I've known Roger since 1998! One of my first friends here in Colorado. Betsy is one of my newest Stamping Buddies!
Lisa (hostess making the Sangria - yum!) I've known Lisa since 1998 as well. She was my *very* first friend here in Colorado!
Rik (host manning the bar)
We forgot Lily's hat, so we improvised...arrrr it's Pirate Lily

New Friends, New Dishes and Rainbows

On Friday, I went to Panera Bread to meet up with two of my new friends, Karen and Cat. Karen is in the red, Cat in pink. Karen's baby is Caoimhe (pronounced Keeva) and Cat's little one is Isobel.











Here is Lily and Isobel playing together.
















Yesterday I was at KMart and found new everyday dishes. 32 pieces for 30 bucks! Can't beat that!! I LOVE our other dishes, very festive and colorful, but they are just not practical for everyday. They cannot be microwaved and they chip quite easily.







Lily and I got a treat coming home last night. A Rainbow! My camera does not do it justice of course. This is one great thing about living in Colorado. We get lots of rainbows. I tried pointing it out to Lily, but not sure she knew what I was pointing out. :)




Tonight is the Tiki party at Lisa and Rik's house. I will post pictures later on of the festivities!!

It was so good!

Dawn, Tonia, Kelly and Marilyn - my work friends!!
Ryan and Danielle
The Zoo!!


I finished Harry Potter last night and it was SO GOOD! Well worth the 700+ pages of reading. I sacrificed my sleep and read until midnight, but I just had to find out what happened with Harry. For those of you who've read the 7th book, let me know and we can talk!

My week is going okay. I have had lunch with several friends. I keep forgetting my camera, but I posted a few pics of the friends I did manage to get pictures.

Today I had lunch with my friend Raz. I haven't seen Raz in forever and it was so good to catch up with her. Yesterday I had lunch with Liz downtown. We had salad and pizza and walked around downtown. It was a bit hot, but well worth the time. I hadn't seen Liz in awhile either and it's always nice to catch up with her as well.

This last weekend I caught up with my work friends on Friday. Saturday we had breakfast with Ryan and Danielle (do you catch the food theme? Why do we always meet up over meals?) Anyways, Ryan is David's good friend and Danielle is his girlfriend. Later that day we were off to the zoo. This was Lily's 2nd visit. The first time was at the Indianapolis Zoo last June. Lily slept for most of that trip. She seemed much more aware this time around.

Tomorrow I'm having...wait for it....LUNCH with some new Mommy friends. I will try to remember my camera and we can get pictures of the Mommies and their babies. Saturday David and I are going to a Tiki Party at our friends' house, Lisa and Rik. Again, will try to bring the camera. After their Tiki Party I've been invited to a girls night in. I'll see if I can make it after Lily goes to bed. No plans on Sunday as of right now.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
