"Get Your Groupon"

Love this catchy saying, and I actually bought into it last week. If you haven't heard about "Groupon" you should check it out. I was skeptical at first but they really do have some great deals. I use to love Gap when I was an adolescent. That was where most of my wardrobe was from. I don't really love their adult styles anymore but they still have some adorable childrens clothing. This past week groupon had a half off deal at Gap, and somehow I convinced Ben to let us take advantage if it. I think he likes to dress Norah in cute clothing just as much as I do :)

Here's what we got! I can't wait til it gets a lil cooler so she can wear them...

Lovin' Our Girl

Just one of the many perks of having a baby girl....Dresses! I love Sundays and the excuse it gives me for putting Norah in a dress. My mom bought her this dress and it's still a lil big on her but I thought we could get away with it this week. Love my little girl :)


In other blogging news...

Ben could not touch my wake boarding record on the Wii for a few months, in fact it was kind of a joke as he could barely beat 300! My record was 1200 and then my sisters came into town and we all got a little more practice. Needless to say I can't touch Ben's record now :0
We have enjoyed a little relaxation this summer and its going to get kind of crazy when Ben goes back to school in a few weeks.

Sister Visit

We loved having my sisters in town a few weeks ago. My sister Becca wasn't able to come down with my parents when they came to visit after we came home from the hospital, so she made a road trip on her own and brought along Emilee. Norah got spoiled with all the attention, and I got spoiled with some GREAT help, not only with Norah, but some housekeeping as well :) Thanks again girls, come back soon!

Riverfront Park, this goat sucks up garbage like a vacuum!

Auntie Em

We took a trip out to a state park one day. It was pretty hot so I mostly just sat around in the shade with the baby. Next time I think we'll bring some swimming suits though as we found a fun swimming spot.


For some reason I can't make these pictures any bigger today, and it took too long to upload the pics so I'm not trying again. Enjoy! :)

New Design

I always feel like I should point out when I change the papers on my blog so that it will actually get looked at. If you are like me, you subscribe to all your blogs through "google reader". So just this once, visit my blog and look at the cute new background!
And I don't know if I can post anymore without mentioning my new lil darling....

Not only has she been sleeping through the night this week, but this girl gives REAL smiles now! It makes it all so worth it.


Am I a lucky mommy or what?!

On The Mend

I am finally starting to feel better and get some energy back! I had another scare last week and went back to the doctors only to discover I had a large part of the placenta still inside me. Crazy stuff but I think we are good to go now...
It has been a whirlwind of a month. We are adjusting to life with a baby and we made the move last weekend to our new apartment. We are now officially apartment managers and enjoying having air conditioning. Yes I guess that is all I really care about right now, a baby that sleeps and cool air :)
We have had some fun this last week as my sisters have been in town. And good news, we got a new camera so hopefully I will find time to take more pictures and show you my beautiful new baby! But for now....I need a nap!
