Camel Toads

what excuse

so it's been days, alright fine, weeks since i last posted. i can't help it that my life is so demanding. fine, i lied...it's just pure laziness.

so after months of agony, target has finally arrived, and boy, is she hotter than ever!! that store is so freaking sweet! it's pretty much like a mini-mall and you could spend the whole freaking day in there. i've only been there twice. the first visit was just insane! jamie and i went one day after their official grand opening and you would have thought it was like christmas and the whole damn store was on sale. there were hardly any carts...primarily due to the cart escalator that kicks ass!! you literally ride on the people escalator with your cart on the one over, how cool is that!! oh target, how i've missed you!

jessie and joe's little girl, ava, is already 3 weeks old! i visited with them the other day and ava is such a sweetheart. she's really good at spitting up and making faces. click on jessie & joe's link to the right to see the latest pictures of ava.

i got a surprise visit from my sister, kristin, at work yesterday. her mind is officially made up and she will be moving to atlanta this february to be with michael. i really wish she wasn't going, but it's what will make her happy and hopefully she'll find new opportunities. plus, michael is a great guy who we all love and know will help take care of her. however, the big question remains, dun-dun-dun...will kelly go with her?

after literally years of false hope and promises, craig has finally put in a new toilet in my bathroom (well sort of). i'd like to say she's everything i've ever dreamt of, but sadly, she's been a lot more hassle than thought. as of today, thursday, i'm on day 3 of no working toilet. do you know what it's like to not have a working bathroom in your house!! luckily, i'm at work more than at home! craig will be over later tonight to finish the job. so help me god, if i have to go another night without a bathroom, something's going to hit the fan and i think you know what i mean!!

oh, and i've finally broken down a bought a digital camera, a sony cybershot. oh the fun this ought to bring!! stay tuned for pictures...

the happy family

as promised, here are a couple pictures of ava, jessie & joe. i finally was able to meet the little girl tonight; all i have to say is what a doll! she is absolutely beautiful! jessie & joe are glad to be home and look forward to parenthood.

you two are gonna have your hands full with this little girl!

it's a girl...no really, i mean it this time!

CONGRATULATIONS to jessie and joe, ava elizabeth was born this evening...two weeks early! i only know a few details: ava weighed in at 7lbs & 3oz, 20 1/2in and was born at 6:43pm! unfortunately, i won't be able to make a trip to st. john's to visit them due to my grueling work schedule, but plan on meeting her soon.

jes had called me around 7:30 this morning saying she was pretty sure her water had broke and the she was starting to have contractions. when she called back around 11:00 in the afternoon, she was already at the hospital and 3cm dilated. i talked later with joe around 4:30 and he said she was at 6cm and had just gotten her epidural...which jes said was the best thing ever! jes then called me at work at 7:15 saying ava had arrived and all were healthy and happy! i last talked to joe around 9:30 tonight, he said jessie and ava were sleeping and that the day was just amazing.

stay tuned...hopefully, later in the week i'll be able to post a few pictures of ava.
