1950s, The Neighborhood Pet and The Tongue

Today I did lots of cleaning. I mean lots of cleaning! I spent a good 3-4 hours cleaning today. David took Lily to see the Grandparents while I slaved away at the house. Okay, it wasn't that bad. But seriously, I never saw myself in this role while growing up. I thought I would be the ultra-feminist who focused on her career, who maybe got married and might have had children. Never did I think I'd be a stay-at-home-Mom. Life changes though and I love the fact that I get to watch my little one grow up. As for the cleaning, I actually asked for this time to myself. It was good to move around, listen to my music and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done. I feel so much better when my house is clean.


While cleaning, I noticed something in our front yard. Is it a dog? Nope - it's a fox! I actually saw this guy two nights ago as well. Didn't see these much in my home state of Indiana! From time to time we will see foxes just walking down the sidewalk like they are a regular pedestrian, it's quite funny!



Lily has found her tongue. This was basically what she did all night long. Too funny!

My Meez

Meez 3D avatar avatars games

Meez is a fun animation ID, 3D style. This is the closest I could get to Lily and me. I guess this would be us at Tuesday playgroup! :)

Laundry Fun and Hard Days

Lily loves to help her Daddy and Mommy with laundry. She does this cute trick of moving a piece of clothes from one side of her body to the other. She's a big helper!!



Today has been a bit of a challenge for me. Lily is in some funky mood and doesn't want to nap. I'm trying hard to just be calm and know this is a phase and she will eventually nap again. This is my 3rd attempt today..there are some fussies - but it seems to be quiet now. I'm hoping for a good 2-3 hour nap - she sure does need it! Spoke too soon - the crying begins again...
