Fresh Air & Haters Honk Part II

I wish . . .

I had never eaten all those sweet tarts

And I wish I carried a notebook to write down Mr Smith's sayings.

We explored a popular state park north of us this weekend.

We both knew not to get our hopes up.

With the hike routes split up into mostly a mile or less,

Mr Smith knew this was sleep walking and I found my skill level.

right along with all the little kiddos.

Okay Okay, maybe I walked a little faster . . .

We had to try it out. And I thought the view at Hanging Rock was beautiful!

You may just avoid all the weirdos by taking the longer hikes.

The humidity sucks, don't ignore that, but it just rained the night before and was cloudy most of the day, so you really couldn't beat that kind of weather in August.

"I don't know how to stand, so let me just stand like this"

I just can't wait to see how Mr Smith will handle hiking trips with kids he can't just leave behind.

Honey, we're going on them! He-will-be-heartless.

But he will be the one carrying most of the crap, so I will/do appreciate him.

I also appreciate the eastern "wilderness." I just wish it wasn't so far away!

(as in I wish we had the mountains 30 min or less from our front door)

We played a round of frisbee golf on the way home and ended the day with Papa Johns!

Thanks to a birthday gift card. Dang I love free/fast/and delicious food.

It truly is a miracle we made it home though. After I had just blogged about how Mrs Smith doesn't mind honking, Mr Smith solidified the hater duo.

Two separate cars in a row...

"Will you go faster?? You're going 10 under!"
Honk.
"OMG will you turn already!?"
Honk.
"Who are these people?"

Mrs Smith: hahaha I love my husband

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates. I'm okay with not needing a changing table. It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too. Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . . Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes. And even a mobile. Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi, We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else. Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...
