Outdoor Concert

We went to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's last outdoor concert of their summer series yesterday. We lucked out with perfect weather, good friends, wine and cheese (and SINFUL baked brie!) and a really tolerant 4 month old who even slept through the fireworks at 10pm.

'Bou sleeping like a champ!

Sleepy Sunday

I'm sitting amongst cereal bowls, coffee mugs and bottles listening to the music of Boo's battery powered jumper. I have no idea where the last week went. For you guys who don't know (which I think might be everyone) I am working on putting together my high school reunion. The last few weeks have been a blur of "cold calling" everyone's parents who still live in our home town to get addresses of my classmates. It makes me feel a little stalker-ish, but it gets the job done. I managed to find about 80 classmates and was coming to a very nervous halt in success (Rob and I signed the contract with the venue, so we're responsible for the bill) until an old classmate jumped on the 'reunion team' and has found about 25 people in the last week. She's amazing.
Anyway, until the bulk of this work is behind me, you may have to look other places for your source of entertainment. (I know, but you'll survive).
In the meantime, I'm going to go relax and watch my daughter jump around...

4 months!

As usual, here's our measuring stick, Alfred and Boo. For comparison purposes, I have March and July (i'll let you scholars figure out which is which). Tadaaaaa! Happy Four Months, Baby girl! I can't believe it's already/only been 4 months. Looking back, I can't even remember life before Boo came along - and really, who'd want to? We are pretty crazy about her!

Roll Over!

So, I have about six videos I've taken of Boo ALMOST rolling over. Wouldn't you just know, the ONE time I'm not videotaping, she rolls over. Oh well, we're still super proud parents of the latest tummy-queen!

Red, White, and BOO!

Happy 4th of July, everyone! Hope you guys are enjoying our nation's birthday. Rob, little Boo and I are just hanging out at home (staying out of the rain). We tried to dress her in an outfit her Nona got her, but it was too big, so we stuck with the hat...

And Rob and I "got crazy" and ran outside with sparklers for approx 4 minutes...oh, the lives of a 4-month old's parents...so intense. While we're thrilled to (finally) be a civilian family, we still truly appreciate those continuing service to our country. Thanks again- and happy 4th, guys!

Ode to Rob

A good husband will meet you after work at the vet so you can tag team the dog and baby together.

A GREAT husband will meet you after work at the vet so you can tag team the dog and baby together, and then insist on driving your car home (skittish dog and angry baby included) and fill it with gas while you enjoy a clean, quiet ride home.

Thanks for being a GREAT husband, Honey! I love you.
