Snow Day

Well the weather outside is frightful and since we don't have a fireplace we are glad the power has not gone out. This is what it looked like outside this morning and none of the white you see is snow. All ice baby.

I also wanted to show off our school spirt we had for bedlam last weekend.

And then another little anecdote. I walked into my paretns house over Thanksgiving to find my 6-year-old niece playing blackjack with a tatooed marine. Chips and all. I think she might have beat him.

The happy and sad

We are always posting pics of happy Georgia but you should all know she has her ugly side. She does cry sometimes as documented here:


But most of the time she is more like this:

She has cut 2 teeth in the last 2 weeks and you can kind of see one of them here:

Eureka!

We had a really good time on our trip to Eureka Springs this weekend. We took lots of pictures and here is a little run down. We stopped just across the AR border for snackas and a diaper change and just to get out and stretch.














Once we got to town we went and shopped for a while because we could not check into our cabin until 4.























Our cabin was home to a gaggle of geese which scared the baby at first but them amused her.















On saturday when we got up we went to a place called Blue Spring. Very pretty. We got to feed the trout and hike a little.






























Baby girl fell asleep in her sling so we sat for a while and let her sleep.



















We went and shopped some more after that and found a sign that reminded Matt of Pete.














Saturday night we got deli sandwiches to take home with us and Georgia and I played a hilarious game called upsidedown baby while waiting for our food.













In getting ready for bath I noticed Georgia's rash that had first appeared on Thursday but I thought was gone, had come back with a vengence. We are still wondering about it but it is better today and I am keeping an eye on it.














We also enjoyed shaving in the tub, napping in momma's lap, talking walks in our jogger and just being together.

Monkey Bizness

It was baby G's first Halloween, as you can see. She's off to a good start too in that she opted for the banana over the candy. It's a pity she couldn't devour some tasty goodies. After all, she doesn't have any teeth to rot out. I suspect if she's anything like her pops, she'll grow to love all things covered in chocolate with gooey caramel centers. Anyway, I ate enough for both of us, and then some. It was hopefully my last night of gorging. I just joined Weight Watchers. My tubby backside is getting out of control, and, boy, do I need to shave.

The group shot of the kiddos was taken at V's playgroup. And, yes, Vivers went as Darth Vader. She's a Byrne girl through and through.

Curious Georgia

It was a labor of love and it is now almost done. I made, completly on my own, Georgia's first Haloween costume. Observe.

Update

Here are just some pics I have not had time to put on here.

Thanks to Nanue

We give thanks to Nanue everyday for all the cute outfits!

First Food

Well we tried feeding Georgia some avacado yesterday water downed with a bit of breast milk. Sounds good, doesn't it? She didn't think so and will not be trying food again for another couple weeks or maybe months. She was definatley not ready for the tast or the texture. Here is the proof that the spoon was way more interesting than the food(she is actually gagging in the 3rd picture down.):

baby and the hat; baby and the spoon

Bubs likes her hat but she likes her spoon a lot more. We've found that if you take away the spoon, you take away the happy baby. I think Bubs is ready for something more than ninny, mama.
