my niece's first word is uh-oh. i can not bear the cuteness. and in other baby news, if you have a little one or know someone who does...they might be giants has put out the funniest alphabet album. it's hilarious.
in other very exciting news, i bought a new vacuum! it's a shark. roar! look, it even got 5 stars. my dad was raving about his new vacuum, which is not actually a shark, it's some kind of dirt devil. "you wouldn't believe the stuff it picks up, it was so gross. and you couldn't beat the price, really, the sale table at home depot. 23 bucks from 49. i almost didn't get it. but you wouldn't believe the cat hair it picks up off that carpet." (honest, word for word from my dad's mouth.) emily and i suggested he just vacuum the cat...which i think he took literally...so that should be interesting.
and blessed of all blessed events...we painted pottery. it was glorious. i made a serving dish, because my social engagements are unending...err and reid made a dinosaur. with spots. it is a seriously rockin' dinosaur.
and just because i thought it was funny...i learned that my sister's boyfriend hides chocolate around the house. so when emily says "i can't believe you came home and didn't bring chocolate" he can say "oh wait, i think there's some chocolate right here!". how cute is that?
