Randomness Part 2

Sorry my blog has been kinda lacking lately. I am having a really hard time uploading photos to the laptop -- sometime it just freezes up and crashes, which is so annoying! But the good news is that you haven't really missed much. Most of our friends are out of town, so we haven't had many play dates. It has rained on and off the past week, so we haven't been out doing fun things and the one play date we did have planned at the splash park yesterday got rescheduled since it stormed in the am. And boy did it storm -- it came in about 6am and the lightning woke me up!! I sleep with ear plugs, so I didn't hear the thunder, but the bright flashes from the constant lightning actually woke me up -- it was crazy! Lily woke up too since the power went out briefly and shut off her white noise machine. Thankfully she asked us to turn it back on instead of asking to get out of her crib -- so she slept another hour and a half! I think it is official, she gets up around 7am now. :( I was hoping it was just a phase and she would start sleeping her normal 10-11 hours again, but after nearly 3 weeks of only 9 hours at night I think this is it. But her naps are usually around 3 hours (knock on wood), so she is getting enough total sleep. It is actually a good thing since she'd have to start getting up at that time in September once preschool starts.

I have gotten a lot accomplished this week that I have been meaning to get done for weeks now. I finally replaced the spare tire in my trunk, got my hair cut and took the computer in to get fixed!! I never did find the receipt for the computer with the service plan #, but I called Best Buy and told them I had lost it and they e-mailed me a copy of the receipt from Sept 2007! It was SO easy and they were so nice about it! Wish I would have known that was an option before I spent days searching and tearing the office apart!! They have to send it out and we should get it back in a week or two. . . .

That is really about it. Here are 2 random photos of Lily that I managed to upload today -- I couldn't get the other 40 to work, but I'll try again later!
