Bullet point lists are my favorite

  • I got an Iced Chai Tea today which I haven't had in at least 15 months. It was delicious down to the last drop and I regret not getting them more often. Actually, I should just stick with this when I am at Starbucks since nothing else ends up tasting all that good compared to Caribou Coffee. There. I said it!
  • We had another rough day at the home front. Josie goes in cycles. She'll be super happy and alert for 12 hours and then its like the evil twin appears. She's not so much evil though, just extremely fussy and crabby which is just lovely when I am with her for 24 hours a day. :) This cycle was due to end about an hour ago so we'll see if she's cheered up a bit after her 4 hour afternoon nap. (Which consisted of me holding her for 3 of the 4 hours since thats the only way she will sleep when in this mood... great for cuddling horrible for getting anything done)
  • My stops today consisted of Target and JoAnn's fabric. At Target we got some organization bins for Josie's room. Someday I really will get an update of what her room looks like. Maybe tomorrow that will be my goal.
  • I bought fabric for Josie's monthly photos. More expensive than I thought it would be so I better find multiple uses for it once the year is up! Then I experimented with photo editing to add the numbers to her onesies. Yeah right. We don't have sophisticated editing software so that was a no go. I ordered some from Etsy promptly after discovering this. BUT. now that it is all purchased, this should be fun!
  • I was going to go for a walk today. I got myself all excited, socks on, shoes out, and then I looked outside and noticed it was just starting to rain. Seriously?? Right when I got the ambition. And according to weather.com my chances are up for the day as it is supposed to rain for the rest of the night. Great....
  • I have been overheated all day and there is no solution. I blame hormones. 
  • My house never seems clean at all. Its driving me nuts but I can't figure out how to keep it clean... maybe a schedule/chart will help? I'm going to research it.
Dinner tonight at the Deyle's... enjoy the storm everyone!

Oh this is not good.

This is what we saw when we got home... because Mike doesn't have enough to do this summer.

We went to the farm (Mike's family farm) this weekend and spent the afternnoon on Saturday with Mike's grandma and grandpa. They loved Josie and took turns holding her the whole time. Cute. :)


If you compare this man (Grandpa Deyle) to Mike's dad and Mike, you will see the same person in different generations. I love it... they look so alike.
It was a fun weekend. Super nice weather and some wonderful food as always. Back to the work week (for everyone else...tee hee).

Great day.
In other news... the fam came up on Wednesday and I got some shots of everyone giving all their love to Josie bear.
Grandma Lekang (I used to call my grandma that... so weird!)

Grandpa with his very own baby.

Buck needs some love too.

We do this daily.

We tried to capture her random faces... not the most flattering but funny nonetheless!

Is it wrong for me to let her cry for a sec just because her "cry" face is adorable??

Auntie loves her too...

favorite picture!

Favicon creation

I have to confess that I would have never thought of this on my own. I got the idea from fellow blogger Kelsey @ http://2010yearoftheblog.blogspot.com/. I didn't even know what it was.

I'm talking about the favicon. The icon at the top next to the address line. Most of the time for Blogger it is the big white B with an orange background... the blogger symbol... but I wanted my own after seeing her make her own!!

So go and look. Can you see it? I am so clever, I know, with that capital D. It stands for Deyle in case you weren't sure. I feel more artistic already.

It took me forever but really it should have been simple.

More exciting is that I can now blog from my phone (no I have not upgraded to a fancy iPhone or anything fun like that). I can send picture messages to my blog so you all can keep up with what Josie is doing right now! This could be bad...
