Photo Shoot

I was trying to get some pictures of Toby to post. It seems that there aren't many. Mostly he was being goofy. But I liked this one.
I like this one of Hazel because you can see her smile even though she was moving her hand. Kind of a cool effect, even if unintended.
Hazel is learning to roll over!! She almost has it. She gets frustrated when she only gets half way. But she loves to hold her head up and see what's going on!!

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!!

Last night was a landmark occasion in the Brunner household. (Drum roll please.....) Hazel slept all night long!! I put her to bed at 9:30pm and when Nate's alarm went off at 5:30am she was still asleep. I was so shocked that I had to get up to check on her. This is especially terrific because for the last week she has only slept 20 minutes at a time. Nights have been sleepless. I feel like a new woman. And suddenly I have a ton of energy. It's amazing what 7 uninterrupted hours of sleep can do for you!

Science project

Aspen did a science project for school on Pluto. So here we have Pluto and its moon, Charon. The labels state facts about the two. The fonts and colors give clues with the labels. She did a great job!!

Hazel Update

Yep, she is still cute.

I Robot, You Robot?

Isaac wanted to build a robot, so we went down to the Home Depot, and got some parts. We are going to add some light-up eyes, which will turn on when you flip the nose.

Wuv, Twoo Wov -- Wuv is what bwings us togevveh today!

Today was our 12th -- no 11th -- anniversary. (I was talking to my friend and actually made that mistake yesterday; Still have baby induced brain muck.) Anyway, Nate and I have been married for 11 years!! Sounds insane. Sometimes it seems longer, sometimes I still feel like I'm playing house. But I am still glad I married Nate and love him more now than when we were first married. So we celebrated with all the kids at TGI Fridays (yes I know it sounds so romantic - but I just had jaw surgery and can't eat anything good and we have a 3 month old baby that has become a momma's girl and so leaving here with a sitter isn't quite feasible yet.) So we'll do better celebrating in a couple of months. I am going to go with Nate, and Hazel, on a work trip to San Francisco in a couple of weeks. SO we are calling that our anniversary celebration. Anyway, Nate did get me flowers - lots of flowers - enough to fill 3 large vases - as a token of his affection. A girl can never have too many flowers.

Also a Happy Anniversary to Jake and Amy. They're celebrating today too!!

Priceless!

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Valentine's Day Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He doesn't even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.Jack forced himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the bedside table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringing when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick:"Honey, breakfast is on the stove. I left early to go get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian "Jack stumbles to the kitchen, and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating.Jack asks, "Son... what happened last night?" "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, then puked in the hallway and got that black eye when you ran into the door." Confused he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order, so clean. Why do I have a rose and breakfast on the table waiting for me?"His son replies, "Oh, THAT! Well, Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, lady, I'm married!"
