baby smith
this is my parents and me. my mom's dress cracks me up. my mom and dad look so young! i just thought i would give a little baby smith update. he/she is due on februaury ninth (just one day after my birfday!) i am a little over three months along..... and the ironic thing is that i have been sick more after my three month mark than before it! i have been extremely tired and kinda green in the mornings. but other than that, i have been ok. i feel super lucky because i know that it could have been much worse. at this point, we have decided not to find out the baby's gender. it makes shopping very hard (which could be a bad thing or a good thing..... depending on how you look at it) because there is NOTHING out there unisex-wise. i was having minor complications early on so i was able to get a couple of ultrasounds. so we have seen pictures of the baby and witnessed the heartbeat! craig and i are not sure on names yet... but we have a while. i just hope baby smith looks like craig we he/she is born. craig was adorable. i was just skinny and bald. oh well. i know we will love the little pup no matter what.

telling mimi and grandpa tomso when we found out that i was pregnant (way back on may 31st!) i hurried and made these cupcakes to tell my parents. my mom couldnt understand why i wanted to bring cupcakes over at 10.30pm on a weeknight. but then they saw the letters b-a-b-y and it all made sense. my dad's reaction was the cutest..... he got this huge smile on his face and said "NO WAY!" (he has been wanting us to have a baby since the day we got married!) this baby will be the first grandchild on both sides...... so everyone is a little hyped up.

louis watches SNL too much.one. you cut a hole in a box.

two. you put your paw in that box.

three. make her open the box.

and that's the way you do it.

duhthis is TJ, craig's best friend, with his new little baby girl. They named her Ava Chanel Pugmire. too cute! i say "duh" because i should i have taken more pictures of the actual BABY. but let me just tell you how adorable she is: she has beautiful dark auburn hair and big blue eyes. Ava is TJ and Amy's first child, and we are so happy for them.

27craig celebrated his 27th birthday this year on a sunday. and to top that off, he had to do sharing time with his primary class that day. he was such a trooper and sharing time turned out fantastic! later, we had a yummy dinner and homemade ice cream cake. i cannot believe craig is 27. basically ancient.

he was really excited to blow them candles out. anna looks creepy

i realize this shirt is not exactly "summery", but i know it will look great on him this fall! happy birthday craig. i love you.

outback golf classica couple of weeks ago, our office had our annual party. we went to a beautiful (and completely difficult) putt-putt course. we split up into foursomes, and my team was the WORST! however, it was a ton of fun. afterwards, we drove over to the red hook brewery and had a nasty lunch. great fun.

i love my office. they are all looney.

i looked up "looney" on the online dictionary and this is what it had to say:

looney - someone deranged and possibly dangerous

pretty much fits.

uncle taylorthese are two little mice that uncle taylor gave louis. he loves them so much that it hurts to open his eyes.
