After posting my last blog I realized that the last picture in it was IMG_9999 on my iPhone and suddenly I felt a lot of pressure to make #10,000 be a real nice one. But then I got impatient and was sick of denying myself the opportunity to take pictures so I just wanted to get it over with and wanted to document our snowy Saturday practice so then this one happened:
St. Patricks day I really enjoyed the Google page and sent to to my Irish dancing mom right away.
While Paul was doing some training in Florida I kept my self busy with some projects and added a lot more pictures to my wall collage. It makes me happy and I like how we have a lot more friends on that wall now.
These self-taken pictures are better next to each other.
Left: Was taken to send to Paul about the second snowy lacrosse practice in a row (ice in my hair) while he was in warm Florida (too bad he didn't get to be outside at all).
Right: My happiness with getting my free Italian Ice at Rita's on the first day of Spring - bad news is that it wasn't actually warm that day, I was sitting in my car.
We got a package from Paul's twin friends in Russia and they sent us the coolest hand painted egg and chocolates and a cool tin.
I gave my fish an upgraded suite and I think he's very happy there.
I also house-sat for our friends and took their dog Stella on a morning walk, so I guess I'm just all the sudden a pet person.
Saturday evening I was getting lonely and bored so I texted Celeste and told her I wanted to make something and then ran to the fabric store and found this best giraffe fabric and made a car seat cover. Sweet baby Kate helped me test it out the next day.
On Wednesday I did the best parallel parking job in Princeton and was so proud of myself for being an adult and not having to back in and out a hundred times.
And that brings us to yesterday, when Paul let me know he called the police to report a crime. The crime was against an innocent victim. He was working in his office when he heard a "snap" and saw a semi-truck knocking over this poor tree. When I came to pick him up I made him take a picture with the fallen foliage that he tried to save.
But the best news of this whole week was that my sweet little sister, Celeste, had her baby boy! I am such a proud aunt and sister and sister-in-law and I am so excited for Celeste & Brandon and can't wait to meet sweet Ezra. My family has been doing such a nice job of including me by sending pictures, and video chatting.
Eric took a few great pictures at the hospital and it made me feel like I was there, some of my favorites:
Welcome to the world little Ezra!
