Yeah Daddy's home.

Gary got home last night from 2 days in Oregon and I thought he was leaving to go back this morning, but he isn't going back until Sunday! Yeah. We get him to ourselves for 2 days. He will be gone all next week and hopefully he only has one more trip after that. Then he's done! This has been a great project for him, but it sure has been hard on Jill and I, being without him.

It was so cute this morning when Jill woke up (Gary got home after she went to bed) to see Gary getting her out of bed. She was so excited. She kept squealing and laughing! Jill sure loves her Daddy. So sweet.

Tomorrow I am going to attempt to clean out my closet. It is so unorganized. So I am going to get rid of a bunch of stuff and get it uncluttered! I have been putting it off all week, so tomorrow is the day.

59 days of school left.

Sweet Potatoes!

warm day

Jill and I enjoyed the warm day today. Went for a walk with Madison and Ashlyn. Jill got some sunglasses so we had to try them out! So cute! She kept them on the whole walk!

Single Parent for another week!

Gary left again for another week in Oregon. He possibly will be there for 2 weeks. Hopefully not! It was great to have him home this last week. Jill and I definitely miss him! I love to put the phone up to Jill and she goes nuts when she hears her daddy's voice. Got to spend the Holiday with Mom and Dad. We went to the mall, out to lunch and to get Jill's picture taken. I will post them later. But Jill did great! She was sooo good while we went to Kohls, then lunch, then Costco, then the mall then Barnes and Nobles. So fun! We got her two new dresses for spring. I got to spend my gift certificates at kohls and costco! Thank you Healys, Riley's, Riley's and McAndrews! I got the cutest skirt at Kohls. It is definitely my new favorite store. We also got to get her some books at Barnes and Nobles. Thank you Papa! Jill did very well in getting her picture taken. She was full of smiles at the beginning, then faded to just wanting to suck on her hand. She will be six months tomorrow! I can't believe it! It has gone by to fast, yet it seems like she has been with us forever! Life is definitely sweeter with her around! Too bad she has shots on Friday. Not going to be a fun weekend! ;-)

Gary's Project

THis is one of the foam pop outs that will be going on the building that Gary is plastering in Oregon. It is about 12 different fossils that will be stuck to the wall and then plastered over. This one (though you can't tell by the pic) is 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall! It is a one of a kind building

Oh see, now that pisses me off. First of all, we have over 400 plaintiffs here, and, let's be honest, we all know there are more out there. They may not be the most sophisticated people but they do know how to divide and 20 million dollars isn't shit when you split it between them. Second of all, these people don't dream about being rich. They dream about being able to let their kids swim in a pool without worrying that they'll have to have a hysterectomy by the age of 20, like Rosa Fields, a client of ours. Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Bloom, another client of ours. So before you come back here with another lame-ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth Mr. Walker. Or how much you'd expect somebody to pay you for your uterus Ms. Sanchez. Then you take out your calculator, and you multiply that number by a hundred. Anything less than that is a waste of our time. By the way, we had that water brought in special for you folks. Came from a well in Hinkley.
Julia Roberts, Erin Brockovich

Turning 30

I can't believe that I am 30! I spent the day with my most favorite people! We slept in until 7:30! Wow is that sleeping in? Then we hung out while Jill slept, then went and got me a present. I got the Anne of Green Gables trilogy! Love it! Then we went out to Red Lobster! Yum! We came home. Jill and I napped! That was heaven. And then we watched "Invincible" Very good movie! It was a great birthday! We had dinner with the McAndrews last night (yummy), had cake and got a really nice gift!! Thank you so much! Then tonight it is Tacos at Mom's and Dad's. Yum again! I love birthdays. Last year I was sooo excited for it cause that is when we told everyone that we were having a baby! And this year we got to spend it with her! So wonderful!
