Wednesday: I watched Dylan again...and he was quite a handful in the morning. So, Sam being the awesome, loving husband that he is - surprised me (after he got home from court that morning) with some flowers and a card - thanking me for all I do for our family :) Aaaaah, love that man! Today was also the first day that I found Sophia KNEELING in her crib, holding onto the bars after she woke up from her nap. Little stinker. The weather was gorgeous today, so after Dylan got picked up we went to the Botanical Garden to spend some quality family time. On the way home we stopped and grabbed some Sonic for dinner. It was my first time having it, and it was pretty darn yummy! ....And I didn't have to cook or wash dishes then either! Hahaha.
Thursday: I had Dylan again today...and Sam had court again today too. Bummer. BUTTTTT Sophia turned 11 months old!!!! Holy moly. I cannot believe at how fast her first year has gone - makes me sad. Sophia started "clucking" today. So cute! I got her up from her nap and put her on the changing table. She just started clucking her tongue and it is adorable! While the babies were napping, I decided to sort through the drawer of things I had saved to put in Sophia's scrapbook (various NICU memorabilia, baby food labels, cards from people, etc). I then proceeded to sort through and chronologically organize the pictures that I had printed off for her scrapbook. The weather was beautiful again today, so after Dylan got picked up Sophia and I went for a walk on the beach. I love when tourist season is over because no one is on the beach. We sat down and I let her play in the sand for a while. She LOVED it. After the beach I did Sophia's 11 month footprints and she ate her first whole jar of #3 foods without gagging once! Awesomeness! So proud of my little girl!
Friday: Sophia, Sam, and I all took a glorious 2 hour nap this morning. Just amazing. After the nap, we went on our first family beach walk in a while. It was fairly rushed though because Sam had to work at 2pm. While Sam was working, I spray painted the dowel rods and hardware that we are using for the curtains in the master bedroom. I started to paint our front railing...but ran out of spray paint. After I got Sophia off to bed I started working on her scrapbook....FINALLY. I got the very first page done and it felt so good to get back into scrapbooking. I forgot how much I really love doing it. It is so time consuming...and it's not cheap either....but I love doing it and I love the final product.
Saturday: Today was another continuation of our busy week. After some yummy pancakes at Kristin's house, we were off to the bank, Home Depot, and to Walmart to get pumpkins! We stopped by Sam's mom's house on the way home to visit. She gave Sophia a piano/xylophone and Sophia went to town on it lol. After Sam went to work, I finished painting the front railing while Sophia napped..and it does look marvelous.
Sunday: I went to the 11:00 church service today so that afterwards, I could go out for lunch with Sam (before he had to rush off to work). Sue took Sophia after church until 5:45! Sam and I had Firehouse Subs (one of my favorites) mmmm. I then went and took my time looking around Michaels. I got a few scrapbooking items and some supplies to make a fall wreath. I managed to get home and finish the wreath all before Sue dropped Sophia off. :) I missed Sophia like crazy, but it was nice to have some time to myself too.
Monday: Today started off on a not so great note....Tommy forgot Dylan's diaper bag today. Soooo, I had to find some formula (still packed in boxes in the garage) that we got for free. Well, then it came time to feed him and his bottle was leaking out the bottom??? Still don't understand it. Sam had his shooting qualifications today and he shot a 98! That means he got a Marksman Medal for it! Awesome job, Sam! After Dylan went home I went to Lowes to get some paint for our shutters and a few other things. I also swung by Walmart to get some groceries to make my chicken chili. Mmmm mmm good!
Tuesday: Dylan got dropped off early today....6:15. Needless to say, it was a fairly long day of babysitting, but at least it was Sam's day off. Sam cleaned the garage today...and it looks worlds better. Tonight we tried out the jogging stroller that we have on loan. Sophia loved it...and I enjoyed it too!

Great job on all the house work, the shutters, the railings, the mailbox, and everything else. My favorite would have to be the black shutters...they make such a huge difference for the house...looks fantastic. You're making that place your home and it's really looking great!
