* I went through my closet and got rid of SO many clothes. I swear I now own clothes in nearly every size (well, not size 2. sigh.). I am hanging on to the bigger sizes though because I know they will come in handy whenever I am pregnant again.
The entire bathtub is filled with pants. The step is all shirts,
* We got our family pictures back. We had taken them in Deep Ellum and I am so glad that we did! I love the bright backgrounds. I posted quite a few on Facebook, but here are a couple more.
* I got this postcard in the mail. What?!? This makes me sad. And happy. And then sad. Where does time go? I do know one thing - I absolutely CANNOT believe that I haven't worked in a year. It has just feel like a lonnnnnggg summer. Time flies when you are having fun :). Ha!
* I am expecting our tax return this week. Guy and I about fell out of our chairs when our accountant said we were getting a refund. And a big one too! We seriously thought that we would be owing thousands. But we had quite a few things working in our favor - buying a new car, putting 38,000 miles of work miles on it, and having medical bills that literally were more than my pre-tax salary. Yikes. 2011 was quite the year for the Mayo's - but our best one too.
* The baby birds have grown so much! I went to take a pic so you could see, but they were gone. I think they were still too small too fly, so I'm guessing they were dinner :(.
* Beckett started saying "mama" on Sunday. He says it all the time - way more than any other word he has learned. It melts my heart. Beckett: "mama, mama, mama." Me - "what, baby? You want an entire box of mum mums? Ok. Anything you want baby."
* Running.... I think I am going to sign up for a 5 mile run at White Rock Lake. Only problem is that it is less than a month away. I might be crazy.
* I went to the mall the other day and picked up quite a few clothes. My wardrobe is hurting! I was super excited to get three pairs of jean capris and a pair of Tom's ballet flats, among other things. Fun!
* I'm getting nervous/excited for our trip to California. We did get a suite with 2 rooms, so that will be helpful with Beckett's naps. But I worry about the plane ride, his naps while we are there, and making sure that he gets plenty of time to crawl around. I think we will go to the Huntington/Newport Beach, the San Diego Zoo, Disney Land, and a few other places. It will be fun!
* We were surrounded by tornadoes on Tuesday. It's unbelievable that there were zero fatalities. We, of course, were glued to the t.v. Actually, I was out running and got 2 phone calls from Oklahoma people just making sure we were watching the news.
So it's not a good idea to be outsides during tornado weather?
Don't worry, this was taken after all the tornadoes had cleared the area. No babies were harmed in the production of this blog. ha!
All the rain means we will be doing more raking this weekend!
