Boy, Oh Boy

We've definitely got a rambunctious boy on our hands. He's so excited to be outside these days! So excited that he refuses to come inside, as in hangs onto the door frame, screaming, limbs and bones turn to liquid, repeating "No, no, no!"

In honor of his love of playing outdoors, I'd like to share a glimpse of his first grass stain. The first of many, I have a feeling:

And today we came home to a scraped knee, dirt under his finger nails, new bruises on his shins, and a boy ready for a good bath. Hello, spring!

Baby Lambs

When we were in Wisconsin last weekend we went to a little petting zoo at the local garden store. You know our little guy is a bit obsessed with farm animals, right? He really wanted to see baby lambs and told us so again and again and again. I shared the good news that we'd get to see them.

So, we walk up to a pen with sweet little furry babies jumping around....

Lisa (in high pitched voice): "William, baby lambs! Matt, get him in there. They're so cute. Awww, look at the baby lambs. William, look! Do you see them? Aren't you excited? Baby lambs!"

Matt: "Um, Lisa, they're goats."

First Get Together

Tonight was my first Moms Blog event for Chicago Moms Blog/SV Moms Group. It was hours of chatting, tasting, mom meeting, sponsor meeting, schwag accepting, and on and on. And, seriously, I'm tired. But, I gotta say, it's nice to go to events that I'm not managing. It's not often I'm on the other end of these things.

I'm just starting to get my feet wet in terms of blogging. I don't even have cards. Like most moms I didn't start this blog with huge intentions, just a way to keep friends and family involved in our lives... Oh yeah, and to keep myself sane and to not feel so bad for not filling in a baby book for William.

Met a lot of great, cool, smart women who I've grown to kinda know through their blogs and profile pictures, which is always cool. Wish I could get into all the details. There was a lot of stuff to think about. But first I have to get through all of this stuff that I walked out the door with:

Internet is Down and Out

Been pretty quiet around here, huh? WHY? Our internet is down. Ho hum. And we have so much to share.... Pictures of William's first Easter egg hunt, visit to a make shift petting zoo in Janesville, stories of why the internet owns us. Hopefully, if Comcast can get their act together, we'll be back up by tomorrow.

Hear that, Comcast? Tonight is your third attempt to fix this. You better make it work. (Thanks to Josh who diagnosed the real problem. He's the bestestest... and his wife ain't too bad herself.)
