The last few weeks in photos

So, believe it or not I am still going strong with my daily photo. Think I have only missed one picture so far...so instead will be using another trinket from the day. Feeling good about how I have been doing. So anyway...here goes....
Oh wait...before I start. I happened to turn on the T.V. tonight to dateline and there was a story about the Heroes of children's hospitals. www.dateline.msnbc.com (said the video would be up later this week there) Usually when there is a story about doctors on t.v. it is about surgeons or "important" doctors, not the lowly pediatrician. Anyway, it was pretty cool to see a story about pediatricians in training. Brought back some good memories, some sad memories...made me proud to be one of them. Hopefully made people realize that pediatricians are not just the stereotypical jolly dr. that treats ear infections and gives shots...we have a lot of specialized training and are super super cool =). Anyway, back to the pictures.

Jan 17th It is still snowy, cloudy, and cold here. Will summer ever come?


Jan 18th Day one of vacation in Jamaica


Jan 19 Me and my guy. I like him.


Jan 20 Our little villa we stayed in while in Jamaica


Jan 21 The water was absolutely gorgeous here. Was almost fake looking.


Jan 22 Shopping for stuff for the girls.


Jan 23 Vacation is over already! Good-bye Jamaica


Jan 24 Having a dinner with my parents, grandparents, aunt and my girlies. Photo is courtesy of my high quality phone camera.


Jan 25 Back to work...the chart pile up is acutally much less than I expected after being gone a week.


Jan 26 Bella and Lila. Lila loves actual food.


Jan 27 Goofing off. The girls took pictures of us running slow motion into each others arms with the end result being this.


Jan 28 Late night. Forgot to take a picture. So the computer it is. I love my giant screen.


Jan 29 Danielle Fox took this picture of Lila when she was 1 week old. She finally brought this canvas by today (along with 6 others). Going to hang them at my office instead of the cheesy "art" we have hanging up now.


Jan 30 Yes, it is true. I am apparently 37 years old. Wow..................


Jan 31 Did I mention that this child loves to eat and drink out of a cup? She reminds me of a little bird. She is so super cute.
Well that is all for now. Have a lovely day. Later.

Back from vacation....

Just got back late last night from Jamaica. A much needed tropical vacation. Here is one pic of us taken by one of the many papparazzi roaming around the resort...I had attempted to straighten my hair but the lovely Jamaican humidity wanted nothing to do with that, 5 minutes after going outside it started to frizz/curl up...lovely. Anyway, more later, I should sleep now as I have to go back to work tomorrow =(.

Year in Review

A very quick layout using a free template....

Belly pictures, part 65

Entering the 3rd trimester....

Lila's Babybook

More belly pics...what can I say? I did a really decent job of taking pictures of the belly in progress. Good news is that we are over half way through the pregnancy =).


BTW, happy birthday to my brother if he reads this...or Keesha, tell him for me =) He must be really old by now as I know I am going to super super super old in a few weeks =)

More Belly pics....

Yes, I know, more belly pics. Getting closer to being done with those. I figure they might be fun to look at in the future.... Lila might enjoy seeing what I looked like, who knows?

3 days in a row!!!

Yes, it is true....3 days in a row. Actually I am not that on the ball. I am just using blogger's handy dandy schedule posting where I can create and then post later...sneaky, huh? Anyway, another babybook layout to post. And that is all for now....later.

I can pretty much guarantee that I am not going to put each picture of the day on here, maybe every now and then. As you can see from the first 2 pictures, I am not going to be worrying about taking great pics...just something quick to document the day. Here is Sammy and Emma creating something. This is one of the girls favorite things to do...artsy stuff.

And another baby scrapbook page.

Happy New Year!

So I have been a crafty little person the past day or so...have done more in 2 days than the whole past year. I finished a mini book from the summer of 2008. I also completed a bunch of pages for Lila's scrapbook. The summer book was traditional and Lila's was digital. I sure do love paper, but I am finding the digital thing much less time consuming, much less of an ordeal to start/stop/complete. Which in my case, with life being quite busy and hectic, it seems that I may just have to change to digital to get anything done. I don't want to be one of those people who has all their photos in a box in the basement or I should say sitting on my hard drive, not printed or viewable. Last year I thought hard about doing the project 365...taking a picture for each day of the year. I failed miserably when on I think Jan 3rd I realized that I hadn't even started...so I quit before I even started. This year, I pledge to make it....which may just be a possibility as I have already gotten my first 2 days taken. Anyway, here is the Jan 1st picture taken 12:01ish at home. I changed it to blown out black and white cause it was a terrible photo and I like that my face is hard to see (it was an especially terrible picture of me =). Poor Lila was not part of the festivities (if you can call it that...one prominent member of the family had a nasty gastrointestinal bug) as she was sleeping.

And finally, the first of the layouts from my scrapbooking extravaganza. I blocked out my abs of steel as I felt weird showing a naked belly picture to the unknown masses.
