We have definitely fallen into the 2-kid trap and have been completely negligent on taking any pictures. Everyone here is doing great. Megan finishes up school this week and Tyler is, well, a boy. He's almost 18 months old and busy as ever.<br /><br />Oh, by way, did I mention that #3 is on the way? We had an unexpected surprise and have been staying busy with everything else. I've been in denial about it for a while, but it still doesn't change that fact that I'm having another baby in August. My due date is August 18, but we'll do a c-section on the 11th. It's another boy and we've named him Caleb John. Tyler and Caleb will be 20 months apart. Megan is thrilled that she's having another brother and I'm glad that she's so excited.<br /><br />So, I make no promises on how much posting I'll be doing. But I'll at least make an effort. Do you have any news for me? I'd love to hear from you!<br /><br />Here are a few more pictures that we've taken lately. Hope you enjoy!<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGdu6-NwNVFTzEO83ala939ktBB1BB75txYeJXeGJtDZc_u4zB9EQxI0JoEviNGQ98EzyYevIP_HepyQHbCGhOdE5mJFn-OAEkvZgvb0MXvXuYMCRuaznKF2PTgVlPnJcS2M1VL-fbAeI/s1600-h/May+4+Lil%27+stinker.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207723279660130754" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGdu6-NwNVFTzEO83ala939ktBB1BB75txYeJXeGJtDZc_u4zB9EQxI0JoEviNGQ98EzyYevIP_HepyQHbCGhOdE5mJFn-OAEkvZgvb0MXvXuYMCRuaznKF2PTgVlPnJcS2M1VL-fbAeI/s320/May+4+Lil%27+stinker.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFDHkB5jfv0KpZr7TRp53p-edW3WHbEi4yKkaYQr9dpkozwaVLY4g8IyQDMfwsYr73mHgXS9NAe-Z8KCn5l8b-2aslFl6nUxzmNJKXNXLqx9v0xW_YTKnw4E2LbtyfKXGgd3SBusYsx_JP/s1600-h/May+26+takin+a+ride.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207723571717906898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFDHkB5jfv0KpZr7TRp53p-edW3WHbEi4yKkaYQr9dpkozwaVLY4g8IyQDMfwsYr73mHgXS9NAe-Z8KCn5l8b-2aslFl6nUxzmNJKXNXLqx9v0xW_YTKnw4E2LbtyfKXGgd3SBusYsx_JP/s320/May+26+takin+a+ride.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmqfA1emrS9puJhVXHhkoQmbPfM5phCO82qeH0wb1A6m-FcMKwlo365BNM5sKT4p8rnpq42hK9qwv0vI4giLYEKtHKyvvbOJ8E_NcdZB9R9pa7OWDp2i_kc2f8VWB50tsqcZth_X56no5a/s1600-h/June+2+after+graduation.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207722820098630066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmqfA1emrS9puJhVXHhkoQmbPfM5phCO82qeH0wb1A6m-FcMKwlo365BNM5sKT4p8rnpq42hK9qwv0vI4giLYEKtHKyvvbOJ8E_NcdZB9R9pa7OWDp2i_kc2f8VWB50tsqcZth_X56no5a/s320/June+2+after+graduation.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaNLaqXZ8HZcKx5Y5sGltx9IJ64mi6bwm3VTKrnBJGB3e0O2_NBUAkV0ss_fpOwJ4hX-Z3l0BL7ezof-FzXMAoG4AiA6ctoeWkh5daYG6_VuIIOM02Hm7GCg04wE-guZzF4uQbza7NgWOK/s1600-h/May+4+Flower+face.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207722811508695458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaNLaqXZ8HZcKx5Y5sGltx9IJ64mi6bwm3VTKrnBJGB3e0O2_NBUAkV0ss_fpOwJ4hX-Z3l0BL7ezof-FzXMAoG4AiA6ctoeWkh5daYG6_VuIIOM02Hm7GCg04wE-guZzF4uQbza7NgWOK/s320/May+4+Flower+face.JPG" border="0" /></a></p></div>Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803561581935546187.post-5183014523505885962008-03-01T21:42:00.003-06:002008-03-01T21:51:04.782-06:00Tyler walks!Well, I was finally able to get some video of Tyler doing some walking. This video was taken February 16 and he had been taking a few steps off and on for a week or two before this. But, every time I would try to take video of it he would get frustrated and not want to do it anymore. So, since David was around to help do the camera, we were able to get him moving. And, as you'll see, Megan had to be right in the middle of all the action. She was very proud of her brother. And now he's kind of doing half and half. He'll usually walk around the house, but if he's mad or trying to get to me quickly, then he'll crawl. But overall, he's doing great. Hope you enjoy!<br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S6Ibk63IZkM" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803561581935546187.post-55821202397662856672008-01-16T08:35:00.000-06:002008-01-16T08:37:28.280-06:00Your vote counts!I’ve entered Tyler in our local newspaper’s Baby contest. The voting started Tuesday the 15th and so far he’s got over 360 votes! It’s still a long ways from the leaders who have over 4000 votes, but still he’s #33 in the “1 and over” category. So, if you’d like to propel him up in the ranks, here’s a link:<br /><br /><a title="blocked::http://www.nwfdailynews.com/bestbaby/gallery/profile.php?baby_id=" vf="0p7VW0nhcMKn&page=" href="http://www.nwfdailynews.com/bestbaby/gallery/profile.php?baby_id=496&vf=0p7VW0nhcMKn&page=4">http://www.nwfdailynews.com/bestbaby/gallery/profile.php?baby_id=496&vf=0p7VW0nhcMKn&page=4</a><br /><br /><br />You can vote as many times as you like, but I’m not for sure how long the voting lasts, so don’t delay too long.

It's a snowman and two penguins and when you push a button, it plays a song and they all dance and ring bells. It's a really cute little decoration that the kids (and me) love playing with. So, Tyler was having fun pushing the button to make it start and soon he started dancing with it. It was TOO CUTE! Here's a video I got of it. Enjoy!<br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oyzOrOMbxAo&rel=" width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed>Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803561581935546187.post-3420094096900072842008-01-07T12:49:00.000-06:002008-11-07T04:23:19.769-06:00The Holidays<div>We survived Christmas and everything was a lot of fun. The kids were great and really made the time together very special. We didn't really do anything real exciting during the break. I think the best part was finally getting back into our schedule, which was today! Megan was so excited to get back to school. She just adores her teacher and couldn't wait to see her again. </div><div></div><br /><div>We managed to get a great family picture during the Holidays. We took it on Christmas Eve before heading off to church. It was the first one and it was just perfect.

His big day was on Friday and, for the most part, it was a great celebration. As expected he downright refused his cake and got pretty upset with me trying to stick some frosting in his mouth. So after making a complete mess of both of us, I stopped the torture and gave him a quick bath while the party attendees enjoyed their part of the cake. After Tyler got cleaned up, we helped him open his presents. It was a bit of a task to keep him focused, but that's all part of the fun! He seemed to enjoy the fun and we all certainly enjoyed the entertainment!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here is a link to a Shutterfly album for all the pictures.

It's so fun to have everything looking so bright and cheerful. And since we live in Florida, it's fun to pretend that we live in a winter wonderland; even if in reality, we're wearing shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops while we put up the Christmas decorations! I think we're finally done decorating our house. This will be the second Christmas in this house and it's been fun thinking of new things to use.

We had Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry salad, pineapple salad, sweet potatoe casserole, and pumpkin and pecan pies. YUMMY!! My grandparents and Aunt and Uncle came over to mom and dad's house and it was a really nice dinner. Afterward we went outside and let Megan play in the leaves. She's been begging to make a big pile of leaves and jump in them, so we finally made it. She had a blast! Mom and dad have 5 huge pecan trees in their yard and the pecans are falling, so all the grown ups were digging through the leaves and collecting pecans. We filled two big buckets! Dad has an old John Deere tractor in their backyard (it's actually my uncle Ross' and dad's holding it here for him) and Megan wanted to sit up in it, so we got David up there and Megan was having fun sitting with daddy. Soon, Tyler got into the action and all three were having a blast. Megan wanted to drive it, but it's not in running order. But, uncle Ross has several tractors at his place, so we all loaded up and headed over there. He gave Dave the quick "how-to" and soon he and Megan were cruising the land. At first, Megan wasn't too sure about it because it was loud, but soon she settled in and was smiling big. Tyler, again, had to get in on the action, so David took him for a spin, too. It was great to see them ALL having such fun. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>What a fun day! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wxrxyN87LyWb09zWMs-EJ0c_gF5X2Qi7ggfNygCG6xwzi0vYlhL_kg6iuVNfE3fO_3I3UQxZfQXtRPz4veWiPdQRN_k52C1zuEPNIWNFk91R7EykHCCIMaYy13SrE4C-nqv3WIKbhbxa/s1600-h/DSCF5531.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135851072430383378" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wxrxyN87LyWb09zWMs-EJ0c_gF5X2Qi7ggfNygCG6xwzi0vYlhL_kg6iuVNfE3fO_3I3UQxZfQXtRPz4veWiPdQRN_k52C1zuEPNIWNFk91R7EykHCCIMaYy13SrE4C-nqv3WIKbhbxa/s200/DSCF5531.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEaCTxbm80BZaXBp12_dLlNITM0ai3eWJt-1JdfTgkDa2ZmOXkfB8HcZ8-l3X-v9yx9j84cPbOcInsbDRDWL11DA-CbfNl5pg4ymcfGM8ZFEUp1B53km07U_9SLGSl_nYpGOL0lwrIkK7/s1600-h/DSCF5538.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135851111085089058" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEaCTxbm80BZaXBp12_dLlNITM0ai3eWJt-1JdfTgkDa2ZmOXkfB8HcZ8-l3X-v9yx9j84cPbOcInsbDRDWL11DA-CbfNl5pg4ymcfGM8ZFEUp1B53km07U_9SLGSl_nYpGOL0lwrIkK7/s200/DSCF5538.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi50zkI7_-6MOPTj-1SP4-wt3sX4fS_2y2FBZ8QwXx5GRcWSncjOf_uVhm5uDwxGIBj0JCXjxQaVx22-B9CJ1xUUEh56t5PRGrK2s1nNgUgwlnuHNHUCUX9PR7pLTnEjAFqCah2FZeZ_5dO/s1600-h/DSCF5546.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135851145444827442" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi50zkI7_-6MOPTj-1SP4-wt3sX4fS_2y2FBZ8QwXx5GRcWSncjOf_uVhm5uDwxGIBj0JCXjxQaVx22-B9CJ1xUUEh56t5PRGrK2s1nNgUgwlnuHNHUCUX9PR7pLTnEjAFqCah2FZeZ_5dO/s200/DSCF5546.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div></div>Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803561581935546187.post-75651834617558773142007-11-16T07:31:00.000-06:002008-11-07T04:23:21.885-06:00Tigerlily<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3QPTHEnBl76VOG0kM9Bq4sdu9XK_A8wRSt2jkBWF1PmYfskXQJRGhWJKyyLUKy6U4lQ6-PN6pyn5GtS9Gjg9dAHQ5SkWoC-Y0RFdFZuRFmpSWI7Db9cKCiKP_oOO1Vk7OZQDOxx4s5I3/s1600-h/Nov+15+Tigerlily+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133445366758613234" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3QPTHEnBl76VOG0kM9Bq4sdu9XK_A8wRSt2jkBWF1PmYfskXQJRGhWJKyyLUKy6U4lQ6-PN6pyn5GtS9Gjg9dAHQ5SkWoC-Y0RFdFZuRFmpSWI7Db9cKCiKP_oOO1Vk7OZQDOxx4s5I3/s320/Nov+15+Tigerlily+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Megan's Thanksgiving Program for school was Thursday night. The kids could choose if they wanted to be a Pilgrim or Indian. Of course, we went with the natural choice. Megan wanted to be "Tigerlily" from the movie Peter Pan. With the gracious help of my family in New Mexico, Megan was a beautiful Indian Princess. She was so proud of her costume and was happy to pose and show it off to everyone! She had a speaking line in the program with Gideon and they were of course the best ones up there!<br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GRVoFOC3ydE" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><br /><br />Here's a little bit of one of the songs, too.<br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UhAg-XOATMg" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> </div><div> </div><div>Here are pictures of Megan and Gideon after the program.

She's grown up so quick and is such a joy. We're so proud of her. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>David and I went to her school at 11:30 on Friday and listened in as she did "show and tell" in her class. She showed them her pictures from Disney World and told them about all of the great things we did. All the kids were amazed - it was so cute! We ate lunch with her and her class and watched them all play on the playground. They were having a blast! We brought cupcakes for her birthday and passed them around for all the kids. They all loved them! We also brought treat bags for her classmates and Megan handed them out. All the kids were so excited. We called it an early day for school (with her teacher's permission) and headed to Destin for the afternoon. We shopped and played and watched the HUGE tree at the Commons get lit up by Santa. It was so pretty. Then we headed home and let Megan open her presents. She loved all the gifts and was ready to watch one of her new videos. So, we watched Dora save the Mermaids and then crashed for the night. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>On Saturday, we had her Birthday Party. All of her friends came around 2pm and the kids had a blast playing outside. They took a break for cake and ice cream, then took their turns with the pinata. Everyone filled their bags with all the goodies! After that, we watched Megan open her presents. She has such great friends and got lots of really nice presents. She loves them all!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I think she had an awesome birthday (I hope she did, anyway). I still can't believe she's SIX already!</div><div> </div><div></div><div>Here's a link to a Shutterfly Album with all the pictures from the weekend.

We went to Epcot on Wednesday and saw Aladdin and Belle (again). We also went on a neat ride called "The Seas with Nemo and Friends." It was real fun and Megan enjoyed it. After that we headed to "Turtle Talk with Crush" where the kids could talk to Crush. It was so cool! There was a big Aquarium there with dolphins, manatees, stingrays, and lots of other fish. It was real neat. Later that afternoon, we headed off to MGM Studios and walked around there a bit. We didn't realize how early that park closed so we didn't get to do a whole lot there, but we did get to catch a "Little Mermaid" show so the trip was not a total loss.<br /><br />On Thursday, we spent the whole day at Animal Kingdom. It was very cool. We went on a Safari that lasted two weeks, but felt like 20 minutes. We got to ride on a cool truck and see lots of great animals. We walked around the Tree of Life and tried to see how many different animals we could count that were carved into it. We quickly learned though that there were way too many to count! We also got to watch a Pocahontas show and ride a train to the Petting Zoo.<br />Megan had lots of fun brushing the animals and checking them all out.<br /><br />Needless to say, this was a trip to remember. The thrill of watching Megan's face as her biggest dream came true was just beyond description. She had a great time, but she was ready to come home. On Thursday night on our way back to the hotel she told me that she was ready to go back to school and see her teacher. I assured her that her teacher was probably ready for her to be back, too.<br /><br />I've uploaded all of our pictures into Shutterfly. Here is a link to the album if you would like to look at all of them. After you click on the "view pictures" button, when the pictures come, look above the top row and you should see "<strong>Select: </strong>all none." If you'll click "all" then all the pictures should have a check mark below them. Then on the right click on the "view as a slideshow" link and you can just let it scroll through them all.<br /><br /><a href="http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0QYsWrlq3cMXKw&notag=1">http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0QYsWrlq3cMXKw&notag=1</a><br /><br />Thanks for letting us share our trip with you!Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803561581935546187.post-71110999458864139532007-10-31T08:49:00.000-05:002008-11-07T04:23:23.970-06:00Priceless<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2fqQA2EzGyxQ2QSFUKKRipk0FNg9HHXrvOZ5tcNMzx0lZhqsQhfqB6tw_FiR7vE7N-d5shxoYYPU1TH3bL6-utJQ6e65ieuMWqmLxhw2Roy55xux661RcaTnsaMP3CCK9p-m2A2Wa-tby/s1600-h/DSCF5233.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127503964925994258" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2fqQA2EzGyxQ2QSFUKKRipk0FNg9HHXrvOZ5tcNMzx0lZhqsQhfqB6tw_FiR7vE7N-d5shxoYYPU1TH3bL6-utJQ6e65ieuMWqmLxhw2Roy55xux661RcaTnsaMP3CCK9p-m2A2Wa-tby/s320/DSCF5233.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1jI0p8f26NgjsvR8Q31z6umhAf7mqcARF2l-SqPTP2ePIF76Y10fki_ps6iJQXiLfT2xr05jkiCg7rd-5kslqp9WZ03aL2iydhmtbmGiBH5czvPZHnX1pmQOwScuKU4dcLH4UhmwtjRj/s1600-h/DSCF5233.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div><div>We feel like we should be in a MasterCard commercial; Five-Day tickets to Disney World: $650, Parking: $11.00, Dinner at a Norwegian Castle: $200, watching your daughter's face in amazement as she meets the Princesses: PRICELESS! I don't think there are enough words to describe what Tuesday was like. Megan had the day of her dreams. She got to meet Mary Poppins, Peter Pan and Wendy, Ariel, Minnie Mouse, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Cinderella, and Belle during the day. Then we went to Epcot to the Akershus Royal Banquet Hall to have dinner with the Princesses. When we went in, she got to see Ariel and get photos taken with her.

We headed down to St. Cloud on Saturday to stay with our friends Matt, Mandy and Mason (and Moose & Molly). It was good to be with them again. Tyler and Mason had fun checking each other out. After church on Sunday we headed to the land of Mickey, Donald, and of course, the Princesses! We got to listen to Story Time with Belle as sh<span style="font-size:0;"></span>e told her story of meeting the Beast.

That was about all we had time to do before we had to get to the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique for Megan's Princess Makeover. She was in HEAVEN and was just beaming from ear to ear. She had such a blast. All the Fairy Godmothers-in-training were so wonderful.

He's picked it up pretty quickly. He's not zipping all over the house yet, but if he wants to get to a toy, he won't hesitate to get on the move. He still hasn't quite figured out that he can move to get closer to me, yet, but I'm sure that will come soon enough! Here's a little video so you can see his motion. Enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K-1za2WNk8c" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed><br /><br />This other video I took on Sunday, his first day of movement. As you'll see he's still trying to figure things out; but the main reason I wanted to post this video was because of the noise he makes and his face. If you'll listen carefully, you can hear him start to grind his teeth. Then, check out his face. He's gotten into squinting his face up and it's just too cute. He cracks me up!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ar70DEulFwE"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ar70DEulFwE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803561581935546187.post-16092162510239286552007-09-04T21:11:00.001-05:002008-11-07T04:23:25.887-06:00The latest with MeganMegan lost another tooth yesterday! It was a bit of a struggle, but she finally let me get it out. It was just barely dangling in her mouth and I could see her new tooth starting to come in, so I went ahead and got the baby tooth out.

I guess I should say first "real" visit. As you know, her top tooth got busted out a year and a half ago, so this is the first natural tooth loss. Her two bottom teeth have been loose for several weeks now and I finally was able to get in and get one of the teeth out. The big day was on Tuesday. She would let me feel it and wiggle it, but she just didn't want me to get it out yet. So, I kind of tricked her and made her think that I wasn't pulling it, when out it came! She didn't even know it until we after we went into the bathroom to swish some water. I unfolded the napkin that I had used and out dropped her tooth. She didn't know what to think, but after the shock wore off, she was so excited. She was anxious to get to bed and put her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy. I wanted to get a video of her waking up and finding what the tooth fairy left, but she woke up before I could get there. She came into my bathroom SOOO excited and showed us what the tooth fairy left. She<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZKTHp_qfdlbILGXjicsgwqxfMR8p39u9Msj23EzgmubGvHW4r2VORb3yi6cWaEei5RK_6PNPUCR1gOw5C_JaKGKi4JWxIHf76QmASil6diX0Bl9tx8eDBKtc2F2htxaRj35Hca-FKIzd9/s1600-h/July+22+new+tooth.JPG"></a> got a dollar bill and three quarters and even a note from the tooth fairy herself! She couldn't wait to tell and show all of her friends at church. As you see, her permanent tooth is already coming in. The other middle bottom tooth is loose, too. It will probably be out by the end of the week.

It took him about three days of eating it to get the hang of it. Now he's like a baby bird with his mouth wide open waiting for the food.<br /><br />This first video was on June 30 when Tyler had his first bites of cereal. He kept wanting to grab the spoon, but otherwise he did great! As you'll hear, Megan had to be right in the middle of it all.<br /><br /><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Fi6QzcMJvI"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Fi6QzcMJvI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />This second video was taken over two weeks later, and as you'll see, Tyler figured out things very quickly! He doesn't try to grab the spoon anymore, but he's got to check everything out around him and make sure everything makes a good banging noise.

Also, he was sitting right behind her teacher, so you'll have to pardon her head and hands.

After a 24 hour delay, we finally made it to Palm Desert on Monday night. Our flight on Sunday out of Pensacola was cancelled and the earliest we could leave the area was Monday morning. We had to go to Orlando, then Atlanta, and finally on to California. We had an hour drive to get to our hotel, so it was about 9:00 Pacific Time before were able to crash. Since we started out Monday morning leaving our house at 6:20 am Central Time, you can imagine how drained we were.<br /><br />It's now Tuesday morning, and David has left for Palm Springs to go the meetings for today. I'm going to hit the town and see what kind of mischief I can find. I'll try to post every day and add some pictures, too.<br /><br />Here's a Google map that shows the area. David's meetings are at the Palm Springs Convention Center. Our Hotel is in Palm Desert.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=palm+springs,+CA&layer=&amp;amp;amp;amp;ie=UTF8&om=1&z=11&ll=33.823082,-116.51207&spn=0.407292,0.913239">http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=palm+springs,+CA&layer=&amp;amp;amp;amp;ie=UTF8&om=1&z=11&ll=33.823082,-116.51207&spn=0.407292,0.913239</a>Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803561581935546187.post-51862912332478675442007-08-22T14:52:00.000-05:002008-11-07T04:23:28.021-06:00April 18: TuesdayI finally made it out of the hotel, and decided to head into Palm Desert to El Paseo. It's the "Rodeo Drive" of the area. It's about a mile or so strip of shops, art galleries, and restaurants. I tried to get a picture of the street, but couldn't get a good one, so here's a link to it... <a href="http://www.palmsprings.com/elpaseo/index.html">http://www.palmsprings.com/elpaseo/index.html</a> It was a GORGEOUS day and I enjoyed being outside and strolling the street. I had lunch at a little place on one of the balconies looking down into a courtyard. It was so good, that David and I went back there for supper. After walking El Paseo, I headed on to Palm Springs and checked out the area. I picked up David at the Convention Center at 5:30 and he took me in to see some of the booths and talk to some of his co-workers. After that we headed back to Palm Desert and ate supper, then came back to our room and crashed for the night.<br /><br /><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdL4ZP6vH4_nI9BlFEtS5A8hui5GkEFj0N5tgVvxG3dAbi667SRoFwgSFXfVQmDtIMJe_8Ilyat2sOM0GHGMihR_CblFT6eNl8b8X7UgAlkG9rNpvm2UNoUeOqEpsdLGom4WHcFS5l5ySz/s1600-h/DSCF4686.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101958201904731858" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdL4ZP6vH4_nI9BlFEtS5A8hui5GkEFj0N5tgVvxG3dAbi667SRoFwgSFXfVQmDtIMJe_8Ilyat2sOM0GHGMihR_CblFT6eNl8b8X7UgAlkG9rNpvm2UNoUeOqEpsdLGom4WHcFS5l5ySz/s200/DSCF4686.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-2b_lu44WOxHPLUqnXAGJ1wOTcd3YzQAaONRInjYXxQacpJeztgRfyATpTbU_wFIwaVG6jch7zTHmqi_SLc2hIihmBFkrhHUun46wL9QhF-E2B0qP565vwMWJdZn61TEBcBGIatuYVoWh/s1600-h/DSCF4687.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101958210494666466" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-2b_lu44WOxHPLUqnXAGJ1wOTcd3YzQAaONRInjYXxQacpJeztgRfyATpTbU_wFIwaVG6jch7zTHmqi_SLc2hIihmBFkrhHUun46wL9QhF-E2B0qP565vwMWJdZn61TEBcBGIatuYVoWh/s200/DSCF4687.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVl2osltUb3usOageXydy34dqTCHFzDHDe_xQWGGYqw07isu4jLZBWGn6HrfvZrV9DsR7l1AirFeaaPLDUQm8FJlAzZQhPMHtcYs_brdGccBnopdg8ma4rsU8tLA41BxmEk1DTxso8-m5/s1600-h/DSCF4690.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101958227674535666" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVl2osltUb3usOageXydy34dqTCHFzDHDe_xQWGGYqw07isu4jLZBWGn6HrfvZrV9DsR7l1AirFeaaPLDUQm8FJlAzZQhPMHtcYs_brdGccBnopdg8ma4rsU8tLA41BxmEk1DTxso8-m5/s200/DSCF4690.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6YL97D4mXb7yzj_pe0oZ5YRTJ3JLlaxeXflh-NXmcAqYkjZIJEbM0nKzcJfeEf5mZSY2P1cL_t1DaGJdrWlXkXVurfd0vN732HQO9BzMmthuO1pcQsy8_dCGAMTnJaBsazBBWtvDAqh2x/s1600-h/DSCF4691.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101958231969502978" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6YL97D4mXb7yzj_pe0oZ5YRTJ3JLlaxeXflh-NXmcAqYkjZIJEbM0nKzcJfeEf5mZSY2P1cL_t1DaGJdrWlXkXVurfd0vN732HQO9BzMmthuO1pcQsy8_dCGAMTnJaBsazBBWtvDAqh2x/s200/DSCF4691.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803561581935546187.post-81478882195820026482007-08-22T14:51:00.000-05:002008-11-07T04:23:28.655-06:00April 19: WednesdayWednesday was a good day filled with SHOPPING! I headed to the Desert Hills Premium Outlets which is about 30 minutes from the hotel. It's a pretty typical outlet mall, but it seemed like a dream knowing that I could spend the day going to shops that I wanted to go to and not have to have a 5 year old and 4 month old dictating my day! I miss my kids terribly, but it's so nice to be on my time. The main things I shopped for was for a new outfit to wear tonight. Today is our 10th Wedding Anniversary. We've got reservations for dinner at Europa, which is a restaurant in the Villa Royale hotel. It looks so charming and romantic and I can't wait to get there. But, first, today I'm going to do some sightseeing, so hopefully I'll have some cool pictures soon. I took a few yesterday of the mountains and the Windmills. There's a huge field by Palm Springs of these and they are so cool, and so HUGE!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivRZlA68HnuG2HChdy-1IgvCPrB5oUauGlaIXq4jbT8s-CLKjlU-J3NQaAE7tf_kWk1Q44rkaoWqcJcDQi20US9qGkVDBsmW_fmfOdaxJj-ZLOpw3_qvrmneuNbaHC-bk7bHwyX3JHi9b7/s1600-h/DSCF4696.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101959099552896786" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivRZlA68HnuG2HChdy-1IgvCPrB5oUauGlaIXq4jbT8s-CLKjlU-J3NQaAE7tf_kWk1Q44rkaoWqcJcDQi20US9qGkVDBsmW_fmfOdaxJj-ZLOpw3_qvrmneuNbaHC-bk7bHwyX3JHi9b7/s200/DSCF4696.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNpsaW5m5GtzmEACtJB7T9_9lHeG6WkAYhqr323ap7-mKS3NppN1kQ0xn5VaRG9qmbnFSGl18ar0vCl_mRvxmiv47_zfZwa01xedYtCSn7t-z49-o1tEQwSYyvzYNrhYgmbweClGRIKdir/s1600-h/DSCF4697.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101959133912635170" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNpsaW5m5GtzmEACtJB7T9_9lHeG6WkAYhqr323ap7-mKS3NppN1kQ0xn5VaRG9qmbnFSGl18ar0vCl_mRvxmiv47_zfZwa01xedYtCSn7t-z49-o1tEQwSYyvzYNrhYgmbweClGRIKdir/s200/DSCF4697.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM1YQeCc-vVRyCoKLxDFckPb19NO9adaXSxne5_lYmiym7gwiSY5s194iAezMaG0Ohugm_jPN1yrxtsGSvSlzPwCZn6ghXoWvp8TBdX_B9lanVs8Lyx5ImjGgvKnyMo-QooqpXJnvJW20e/s1600-h/DSCF4700.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101959159682438962" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM1YQeCc-vVRyCoKLxDFckPb19NO9adaXSxne5_lYmiym7gwiSY5s194iAezMaG0Ohugm_jPN1yrxtsGSvSlzPwCZn6ghXoWvp8TBdX_B9lanVs8Lyx5ImjGgvKnyMo-QooqpXJnvJW20e/s200/DSCF4700.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzgcHoGEM6AtEoQK8jDqJbfroviMAQkTGGkKaqKCIRVM1EdmUnpvP3vIboeuGmohZVcQ0Jvwhtlp4ZhRLadK5k9VXD9M2ZBPhqcjJVRvCVL-H6pY5fG0JI5HzcvG7oHxqpRtWatweynsYO/s1600-h/DSCF4715.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106530078627207202" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzgcHoGEM6AtEoQK8jDqJbfroviMAQkTGGkKaqKCIRVM1EdmUnpvP3vIboeuGmohZVcQ0Jvwhtlp4ZhRLadK5k9VXD9M2ZBPhqcjJVRvCVL-H6pY5fG0JI5HzcvG7oHxqpRtWatweynsYO/s200/DSCF4715.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17209015045991616365noreply@blogger.com0
