A few random notes

I have a whole slew of things to share, so rather than a bunch of short posts, I'm going to just give you a long list. Enjoy!

-I took the trash out yesterday while Craig was in the shower (wasn't that nice of me?). As I was doing it, I realized that I really don't mind such chores when it's warm outside. So can I use this moment of nice-ness to try and coerce Craig into taking care of the trash in the winter?

-I'm proud of myself for finally grabbing an old toothbrush and some SoftScrub and cleaning out the corners of the shower this morning. Such a little thing that makes such a difference!

-Yesterday my parents treated us to dinner at The Melting Pot, which was fabulous. My in-laws were super-nice and watched the kids for us so we didn't have to bring them along. That was also fabulous. How did I get such nice people in my life?

-Along with her new-found ability to walk, suddenly Kendra thinks she should be able to walk down the stairs just like the rest of us. She hasn't fallen down yet, but I think it's probably just a matter of time...

-Every time I see our little groundhog family, it makes me happy.

-My sister Leah just sent us all an article about how Ken Griffey, Jr. and Ichiro have become really good friends and how much happier Ichiro is now. I sat wearing my "Griffey Returns" t-shirt that my Dad got me in Seattle and tried not to cry. Ever since having kids weird happy things will make me cry (like the fireworks at Disneyland-- WHO CRIES OVER THAT???). I really hate that I'm so emotional, but at least it's always over happy things and not sad things!

-Craig has one day left of school. I can hardly wait to have my husband back again.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure I have more, but I'll just do a new post when I think of it. What's new with you?
