Disgusting
I am excited about several recent events in our life. FIRST, I'm pregnant!!! We have baby #2 due sometime in November. SECOND, I am definitely a candidate of morning sickness. THIRD, we are introducing new foods to Samuel all the time, some he likes some he doesn't. I write all this to set up our scenario....Samuel hates peas. So today when I introduced "Spring vegetables with brown rice" I wasn't sure if he would consume all the green goo. Thankfully he did!! Then came fruit. He loves fruit...he GOBBLES up fruit. So as he ate, his face contortions changed from yummy to gagging. Gagging led to a green highchair, green baby, green mommy, and no more lunch! WOW!!!

Snow
We bundled up the wee man and went sledding this morning! Samuel enjoyed it,b ut I think we got a bigger kick out of the white wonderland more so than he! :) Now I know people believe we never get snow, but I know for a fact it snowed (and stuck) a year ago this exact weekend. We have officially lived in Union Grove 1 year. We woke up Saturday March 1, 2008 to icy roads and snow covered lawns, but as typical Alabama snow goes..it all melted by late morning and we officially became country residents. This year we were able to celebrate the snow with our 7 month old and his cousins, aunt, uncle and grandparents!!!

As seen on TV
My wonderful husband, Tim, is an artist. I have sketches scattered throughout our home, in the car, even in my sacred kitchen. He is currently tweaking his talent into weekly art classes. His latest project is our son. He envisioned a picture of Samuel and our Husky mix, Dakota, lounging together on the front porch. We decided to create this image on film for Tim to use while he draws.
Now rewind in time. Our house is over 80 years old and I think our doorknobs dated back that far as well. I have been using the conventional key to unlock our front door and realized that all you had to do was jiggle the knob and BAM its unlocked. Tim replaced our lock and life continued as normal with a slight adjustment to the workings of our shiny new doorknob.
Now lets fast forward back to the morning of our front porch party. We exist stage right and forget to check the door to make sure we could make it back inside. Of course I realize this as soon as I shut the door firmly. Now we are stranded in the wet and chilly outdoors, barefoot, short sleeved and hungry (we haven't even attempted b'fast). Tim tiptoes across our wet lawn and heads to the Shop( large garage with many random gadgets, tools, and seasonal clothes) in search of a "Break In" Idea. He comes back with keys---NOTHING. He then tries other doors and windows--NOTHING.
Finally he walks by carrying a large orange cylinder, crowbar, and a silly grin. I stop him and turn my now numb feet in his direction with my own quizzical brow. WHAT are you attempting I ask. He stops me mid sentence and explains:
" I saw it in a movie once, trust me"
NOW CAN I PLEASE GET A CONSENSUS ON WHAT MY REACTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN??
Now being the loving wife that I am, I simply nodded, shivered and sat back down to wait out the movie break in. Sure enough, after a considerable amount of thumping, thudding, cranking, and praying, my husband appeared at our front door with a LARGE smile on his face and no noticeable damage on the basement door!!!! We won't forget this stunt for awhile.

Serious Work
We are in the midst of introducing new foods into our world. Tasty morsels of pureed sweet potatoes,squash, peas and yummy variations of fruit. But (sorry men) we all know its something they learn at a young age... When its time to empty the belly, just leave me in peace and I'll leave you a present! ;)
On another note, Samuel has learned to roll now. He can roll across our living room with great ease and attempts to get up into a crawling position when a toy is to far to reach. Guess I need to start baby proofing the house now!!!
