I know, I know...

3 blogs in one day probably seems a little excessive.

But, I'm going back to work tomorrow, so who knows when I'll have time again.

Plus, I promised a video of Reagan sometime soon. So, here is one of her eating her puffs. I thought it was a cute one!! I used my cell phone for it. I still can't figure out how to get my webcam to record something small enough to be used. Anyway, there is sound, so if you have it, turn it up!!

Deals (More like STEALS)!

For those of you who have not used Craigs List before, (which is probably none of you, because I think I was the last person I know to be successful with this...) I highly recommend it.
Last week I got a Bundle Me (seen above) and a bunch of clothes in sizes 6-12 months for Reagan. The Bundle Me is a sort of "kid sack" that goes into the car seat, stroller, baby jogger, etc. that has holes for safety straps and harnesses and zips around her to keep her warm in the winter (or fall, when it's snowing.) It retails for about $40.00. Mine is gently used, zippers work perfectly, and I got it for $20. I also got 30 items of clothing for $48 total. Jeans, pajamas, shirts, sweaters, a hat....I am SO excited. (By the way, that is less than 63 cents per item...in case you weren't impressed by the initial numbers.) Obviously all the clothes wouldn't fit in this picture, but this is a sampling:
I suppose The Lamb Way can even be taught to me. :)

SNOW!!!

Would you believe it's snowing here? I suppose you would if you've ever lived in our lovely state. Last night it started raining around 10:00 and it continued to rain...when I woke up at 2:00am (WHAT?) with Reagan (it's her new favorite time of the day...) it was snowing as if it were March. (That's when we usually get the big, heavy, wet snows here.) So we went to church this morning and now are doing our best to stay dry and warm indoors.

We went to Durango on Friday, just for an excuse to get out of town. We left around 5:30 am, and arrived in my college town at about 11:30. It usually only takes 5-5.5 hours, but having to stop to feed Rea slowed us down a bit. We only stayed one night, and it's a good thing. The wind was blowing so hard on the way home we ended up getting nearly 38 miles/gallon!!! (Partly because the wind was at our back, but partly because we were in my awesome Subaru.) I didn't take a single picture in Durango! I guess it was becuase we were too busy visiting.

Today, though, since it was snowing, I decided it would be a good time to see if Reagan's sweaters made by her Auntie (code for Great Aunt) Carol fit yet. They do! She has a little room to grow, but they'll be perfect for the winter. So, thanks again to Carol for her two pretty sweaters. I guess this post is mostly for her, so she can see how cute she looks in them!

I'm also including a picture I took last week while waiting for a girl to show up for her senior pictures. Happy Fall! (Complete with snow for some of us!)

6 Months!

I can't believe that Reagan turned 6 months old on Monday. It seems like I'm always in disbelief when another month passes us by. She's growing so much, and developing so fast.
I had this last week off (and the next one too) for fall break. It has been so nice to spend some time with Reagan. It makes it a littler harder to go back to work, but it's nice to know that in another 9 weeks, I'll have 2 more off. (Not to mention the 5 day break for Thanksgiving!) So far, the break has kept me extremely busy taking pictures....a very good thing. I had my first wedding last Saturday. It went well, I think. It's hard to know until the pictures are delivered. I've learned a good lesson though: this will be the last time I give anyone a CD with all their pictures on it without charging a hefty sum of cash for it. But, it's been a good learning experience all around.

Reagan went to the doctor on Thursday for her last round of shots for awhile! She surprised us all by coming in at 16 pounds, 8.5 ounces and 26 and 3/4 inches! I had someone tell me their kid wasn't that big until they were 1! She's such a big girl, but the doctor always says how good she looks, and is always sure to tell me that she's not TOO big. Her eyes are starting to get a little more gray and have a few more flecks of green in them. I'm really excited to see what she finally ends up with. She sits up all by herself, rolls all over the place, and is showing the beginning signs of being ready to crawl. We got the go-ahead to try to get her to start feeding herself a little. So, I figured it was time to buy her an actual high chair, instead of the bumbo seat. She seemed to like it--and I do too, because it gives me her full and undivided attention for feeding. Much less messy.

The outfit she's wearing in the pictures says "SuperFan". it's a Tee shirt that Cross Country sold as a fundraiser a few years ago. I decided I wanted to make it into an outfit for Reagan. So, I cut it out and Mom sewed it, and I sewed snaps on it. It was so fun! And everyone loved her in it. :)

I got a new laptop, which I love, and it seems to have come at the perfect time because we found out last night that Jim's is on its last legs. So, luckily, the blog can continue. :) And, as you can see, it has a webcam, so we can catch Reagan doing cute things, and you can watch as if you were here in person! All the ones I have so far are too big to put in here, but stay tuned, and there will be a video here soon.

Fall is officially here, so I figured it was time to change these colors to reflect the change around us!
