More Pics...

A crib we got from my mom. Thanks Mom!

Here we are at Applebee's. I love this shirt I have on but everytime I've worn it I've spilt on it. Grr.

We're Getting Old.

My mom came to visit for the weekend we had a good time with movies, food, and of course, Cold Stone Creamery. Yum, yum. I think I'm addicted! Here's a prego shot she took of me:

Not much needs to be said of this picture:

What I'm reading now:

Sex God by Rob Bell (Colonel, I was wrong, apparently Rob Bell just released this book. You're welcome to borrow it once I'm done)

And what's next on my list:

Night by Elie Wiesel
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
East of Eden by John Steinbeck

If anyone has any good book selections please let me know.

Violin Lesson #1

For those of you who don't know I got a violin from Aaron for Christmas. This past Thursday I started lessons and it was quite an experience. Even though I have three years of piano experience I couldn't remember what was a flat and what was a sharp. In fact, I still am not sure. I have to ask Aaron. I think for my next lesson I'll draw the shapes on my arm and write their names next to it.

I was a little afraid to practice while Aaron was home because I knew it sounded bad but had no choice. After I was done, Aaron said, "It's nice to hear music in the house again." I couldn't help but laugh and say,"Are you serious? I thought for sure I'd need to get you a pair of ear plugs." I guess it's not as bad as I thought. But I feel I still have a long ways to go. Maybe by Christmas I'll be able to play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

Before and After

Happy March!

I'm really enjoying this snow. I'm hoping that we get snowed in tomorrow so Aaron and I can watch 10 hours of Smallville and eat Girl Scout cookies.
