Gratitude (Lindsay's Version)

Things I'm thankful for by Lindsay Bresnan:

1.) My Paci. Mommy & Daddy still haven't grown the cajones to take it away from me yet.

2.) My blanket that Grandma made me, I sleep with it every night.

3.) My kickin' closet full of clothes! It's insane how many outfits I have. I hope I have this much to choose from when I'm 16!

4.) My Dookie Duck DVD from Aunt KK. It really calms me at 1:30 in the morning and Daddy seems to enjoy watching it with me in the middle of the night - I think it's his favorite video!

5.) Apples! My favorite word and I love to eat them.

6.) I'm thankful that I can walk now. I don't scoot on the floor and leave rashes on my thighs anymore. I'm also thankful that mommy figured out I need WIDE shoes for my fat chunky feet!

7.) Boudreaux's Butt Paste! It's the BOMB for Diaper Rash!

GRATITUDE

I was TAGGED so here it goes...I'm supposed to blog 7 things I'm Thankful for this season. I'm guessing from the few I've read we're supposed to give 7 random things other than the obvious traditional ones. So you all know how thankful I am for my beautiful daughter, my loving husband and our supportive family...so here is the fun stuff...

1.) I'm thankful that I'm getting to work at NS Forsyth again a few days so I don't have to look at 285 or 75 as many times this week! The drive is so much more relaxing to go there.

2.) I'm thankful that my husband (dear that he is) gets in the bed while I'm brushing my teeth and warms up my spot for me. Seriously! How awesome is that! I'm telling ya'll I have the greatest guy! (And yes, I know I'm spoiled!!)

3.) I'm thankful for NETFLIX because if there wasn't such a thing I would NEVER see movies anymore! I also would owe a zillion $$ in late fee's to Blockbuster so again, very thankful for my NETFLIX!

4.) I'm thankful for my blogger buddies. We have a great blog community and I so look forward to my evening down time to catch up with everyone!

5.) I'm thankful for m&m mini's because they are Lindsay's fave candy and I can pull those out at any given moment and have her undivided attention!

6.) I am stealing this one from Kim but I am thankful for my "rag mag" People and enjoy my chill out time each week reading my magazine from cover to cover. Usually these days I take it to work and read it on my lunch as there is never any time for that at home.

7.) I am thankful that I have KICK A$$ seats to the BON JOVI concert next year! WOOHOO!!!I'm even more thankful that I know I don't have to drive myself there! (Thanks Mike!)


Happy Hump Day everyone. We've had an interesting week around here. I'm going in a million directions and don't seem to have much blog time but I'll try to stay up to date. We're looking forward to another low key weekend. We may venture down to the baby and kid expo on Saturday or try and find a Santa to torture Lindsay with. Not much on the schedule.

Bye for now!

Here they are!!! Sears Christmas Photo Shoot

Above is the pose we chose for the package
One of my fave's it was so hard to choose between this and the one above!
Our Christmas card picture! (The actual card will be revealed once I mail them)
Mike's fave of Lindsay by herself. He calls it "Waiting for Santa"
Sweetness!
Love this one too. Now you can scroll down and see the rejects but I wanted to post them with my commentary...
It's shiny, round and red...it must be an apple!
Kiss the pony....

Just missed the smile but still a cutie...

This would have been mommy's "vision" pic if she had looked at the camera or maybe smiled...check out her cute red shoes!

...and what would a photo shoot be without a melt down???
I call this "I wanted a REAL pony!!!"

Lindsay says "I'm done ya'll...get over yourselves."

Surprise on the camera!

Just a couple of pics that I found on the camera today. Sometimes Daddy takes a few when I'm at work and I just find them on the camera. I love that!
Daddy's Self Portrait with Lindsay

Well, crisis averted. The Christmas pictures went fine! I'm still very happy I got what I did for Halloween because Lindsay did not do so well in the ones of her by herself. As a matter of fact we only bought one pose of just her and it was just 2 5x7's that Daddy wanted. We got several really nice family ones though. The photographer had Lindsay laughing out loud! We ended up ordering our cards and got a small one pose package for 9.99 just to have a few to give away and an 8x10 family shot for us. Overall, I'm pleased because the agenda for this shoot was to get a family shot. Our last family shots were when she was 2 months old and then again at 5 months but Santa was also in that picture. Oh, and for those of you in the Kennesaw area, Santa is now at Town Center Mall. He looked pretty good too. We didn't subject Lindsay to that tonight but we'll probably go back at some point. There were NO lines today though! I may try to take her up there one night this week after work.

The photos are not online yet so I can't share them tonight but I will soon!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Just Hanging out on Saturday

Lindsay before breakfast. Gotta love a happy baby first thing in the morning! Here she is modeling her hat that she made at daycare!
It finally happened. She's been eyeing the toilet paper roll for a while now. I knew it was only a matter of time.

So here is my rant for tonight. We have Christmas pics tomorrow and I just tried Lindsay's Christmas dress on her for the first time. It swallows her. It's cute but I really think she'd look better in an 18 month rather than the 24. I bought it at Macy's end of season last year. I happened into Macy's last week and noticed they have the same dress (not on sale). Do I just go buy another one in her size and return the other when we're done? We're gonna be at the mall anyway. Or do I just live with it? Also, Mike has NO clue what he's wearing tomorrow hasn't even looked and he's working tonight. Tomorrow morning he's driving in the Veteran's Day Parade. So we're going to be rushing. Not to mention that yesterday he went for a haircut and the guy scalped him! So....depending on how it all goes we may send out cards again with only Lindsay this year. Or we may scrap it and do something different. UGH.

In the grand scheme of things I guess we'll just roll the dice and see how the photo session goes.

Miss Lindsay is having a bed time meltdown so I'm out.

Goodnight!

No Room for Daddy

Home Sick Today- Random stuff & Update

I have come down with a sinus infection or possibly strep (doc said strep test was borderline) so I have been home the last two days. Every time I get up from my comfy spot on the couch I come back to this......this is Midnight. She is the Queen of the house & place warmer!
A random pic of Lindsay that I love, taken on 10/10/07. Her first year we took a picture of her each month in her rocking chair.
I had not taken one in a while so in order to also get a pic of her in these cute overalls I used the rocking chair excuse. She looks sort of sassy in this pic.
Just ten months earlier a comparison shot. Lindsay 1/10/07 at six months of age! WOW! She's barely bigger than Baby Tad!

So here is the update. Lindsay's doc visit went well overall. Her ears are both clear. Although, she had fluid in her left ear but it wasn't infected. (which says to me she ought to have another one oh, right around say THANKSGIVING....grrrrr....)

Anyway, we'll see but they will not even TALK about tubes until she's 2. However, if she continues with the ear infections and she has more than 4 in six months they will go ahead and refer us to the ENT. So, that means if she has one more by the end of the year we'll be talking. Anyone want to take odds??? I'm fine with it. I hate for her to keep suffering like this and everyone says tubes make it so much better! For now, we have our happy go lucky baby back and she's sleeping through the night. Let's hope she doesn't catch what mommy has now!

We have a quiet weekend planned. Nothing on the schedule other than our Christmas pics on Sunday. Yes, it's early but apparently the next two weekends will be horribly busy at the studio and I don't want to put it off until December. Otherwise I may never get them addressed!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'd also like to say our thoughts and prayers are with the Gordon Family!
