Swinging is the GREATEST THING…EVER.


Giggling…

Francis and I went to the park this morning and she got to swing for the first time. She loved it. She giggled and squealed non-stop for about 2 minutes and then in what seemed to be an instant… she fell asleep! It was hilarious… that darn swing put her to sleep. I think this means that we need a swing set on our list of home improvements. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Easter Morning

It really doesn’t get cuter than this. Here’s a photo of my two favorite people on Easter morning. You can click on the title of this Entry to see the entire album of photos for the weekend. There are some great photos of Miss. Francis on Easter morning.

Lent is Over

Before his Lenten sacrifice, Matt drank about 3 cokes a day. Minimum. That’s at least 36 ounces of delicious cola everyday. Over 40 days, that comes out to 1440 syrupy carbonated ounces flowing through my husband. So Matt got the idea to give up cokes for Lent; at once denying himself of cherished sustenance and improving his overall health.

It was tough, but Matt made it. Not a single Coke. Not one.

So we’ve come to Easter and Matt wanted a tangible measure of his accomplishment.

Given that one cubic foot is equal to 957.5 fluid ounces. Matt’s abstinence prevented the consumption of a mere 1.5 cubic feet of Coke. That’s just not much. And there I was thinking he had accomplished something. I was thinking it was at least going to be bathtub sized, but one and a half cubic feet? Wimp.

Below, watch Matt break his 40 day streak.

Our little Plumber

I went in to get Francis after a nap yesterday and this is how she was sitting. She was facing the wall with her legs under the bumper and through the crib railings… showing her cute little booty crack. ๐Ÿ˜‰ She was just staring at the wall crying until I walked in and she quickly turned around and I took this photo. What a cutie. Man, I love this girl.

A photo of Matt and Sally!

This blog really wasn’t intended to be just a shrine to Francis, but obviously almost every entry is either Francis or something to do with our house search. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Here’s one of us… good ‘ol Matt and Sally. This was taken this past Saturday while running errands at Costco. Francis stood on her own for the very first time that morning and has been doing it every other minute since! She’s growing up SO FAST!
