. i don't know what to title this post .

today i get to spend time with this sweet baby. 

yes, she's mine, but we seldom get time where it's just us.  you see, my favorite man and karsyn are away for a few days.  first things first on a sweet sunday.  we got dolled up and headed to church. 

 

 

of course i had to snap a few shots of her since she was wearing something other than a onesie.  i thought for a split second about snapping a few of the two of us since those are few and far between, but i hate pictures of myself so much that i thought i'd spare all of us.  maybe sometime in the next few days we can sneak one or two in.

now sweet baby is napping and i need to be doing my thing.  i stumbled across these two projects that so desperately need to be done and thought i'd share them with you.  i know what i'm going to do with the highchair, but the wardrobe is a creativity mystery. 

 

i bought the highchair at an antique store so i could paint it like this picture i tore out of a magazine.  it will be cute.  promise.  and, no, i'm not sad to cover the cute little puppy with purple paint.

and the outside and inside of the wardrobe.  what on earth will i do with it?  i know i want to add shelves to hold a tv.  but what color should i paint it?  the walls are pale yellow.  it's in the playroom.  the baskets that house all of our toys are pink.  HELP. 

 

. sweet friends .

making new friends tends to bring me closer to old friends.  i recently made a new friend and i probably annoy the heck out of her because i have neglected to have that special girl time in a while.  you moms out there know how important that is and when you have it, you tend to talk the others ear off.  maybe its just me?

anyways.  we have tons in common and i can't wait to see where God takes our friendship.  she's a prayer warrior, very generous, a fabulous cook, and hilarious.  to name a few.  i've enjoyed talking to her and she's simply a sweet friend and a blessing at the perfect time.

HOWEVER.  the time i have spent with her has made me truly miss the time with another sweet friend of mine.  the sweet friend that happens to live in another state and i only see twice a year unless i'm having a baby (and don't expect that again for a while). 

jasey and i grew up together and then parted ways.  little did i know that us meeting up again after almost four years in my not-so-favorite place (starts with a W and ends with almart) would turn into a friendship that would last a lifetime.

i can't wait till our next trip, which hopefully will be SOON.

so tonight, i'm very thankful for sweet friends.  old and new.

 

. my love .

[excuse me, but it's 4am and this is ALL i can think about.]

i love me a sonic dr. pepper.  but i was wondering ... when you order a route 44 sonic drink ...

is it ROOT or ROWT?  i think i say ROWT. 

surely this isn't why i can't sleep, but now it's really bothering me.

so, do you say "i'd like a ROOT 44"  or "i'd like a ROWT 44".

. {not so} fun friday .

this is our day so far ...

 

doesn't look so bad, eh?  it's when you come inside that all chaos begins.  you see, it's that time.  here's what sweet baby looks like this morning (and has for the last 2 days).

 

it's sad folks.  it truly is sad.  she's teething.  and so the opposite of how karsyn went through this stage of infanthood.  karsyn was perfect.  she actually slept more when she was getting a tooth.  and the angels sang sweet melodies.

mykah.  no angels.  snot flying.  puddles of drool.  fussing.  screaming.  fussing.  screaming.  oh, and should i mention she does NOT want to sleep?  not a fun time, but what can you do.  there's lots of hugging and holding.  lots of tylenol and teething tablets.  speaking of, what a perfect time to be completely out of both necessities and who wants to take this child to the store?

. thankful thursday .

you see this guy ...

 

he's the reason i am thankful today.  you see, he got a new job today.  he'll be teaching and coaching right here in bryan.  five minutes from our house.  what a praise!  we've been diligently praying about a new job for months now.  we've passed up jobs that just didn't seem right and jobs we wanted didn't work out.  all it took was a little faith.
