4th Folder, 4th Picture

I was tagged by my friend A to do this . . .
Go to your pictures folder and open the 4th folder and the 4th picture in that folder and post it to your blog. Tell us about it.

This picture was taken on our trip to Astoria, Oregon last year (yes for all you children of the 80's- where the Goonies live). We went to the Maritime museum and I took a picture of ten things fishermen do for luck. Since you can't read them in the picture, here they are:
10- It's bad luck to leave for a fishing trip on a Friday
9- Rabbits or pigs should never be mentioned; they're bad luck
8- Never whistle on board; it calls up the wind
7- Never cook pea soup on board a fishing boat; it brings stormy weather
6- Don't take off the hatch cover until the first fish is landed
5- Never leave the hatch covers upside down
4- No suitcases on board; only farmers carry suitcases
3- Cans of food, or anything else, must be stored with labels right-side up, to keep the boat from capsizing. Upside down cans can also throw off the compass
2- A boat's bottom paint is better if applied by the light of the full moon
1- Fish bite best before a storm

Now I expect your next fishing trip to be a complete success!!!

Sundays at our house

Josh snuck in and snapped this picture yesterday afternoon.

Copy Cat

I got this tip from my friend Staci's blog and thought I should spread the news . . .

Hey bloggin' friends & stalkers! ;) I got an email from Blurb the other day saying that they have brought back their option to make a blog into a book (if you are using Blogger). They had taken it off their website a while ago and I was a little disappointed because I was planning on doing a book. I don't want this blog to go to waste. I have so many pictures and basically it's my journal, so I want to get a hard copy of it just in case the internet copy is suddenly gone one day. Anywho, I got this email the other day saying they are again open for business for Blogger! Can I get a woot woot?! So I have started my blog book! I'm excited! If you want to get one just head to their website - www.blurb.com and you'll have to download the Book Smart software. It didn't take too long to download. Then it "slurps" your blog into it and then you can edit your book and make it how you want it. As of now, mine is 300 some odd pages. Woah! But hold the phone people, Blurb is actually pretty affordable. For that many pages, it was only going to be like $63 or something. Sweet eh? I'm excited to get my blog book going & finished. Although, that just means I'll be spending even MORE time at my computer. But it's for a good cause right?

Realization!

I realized something very cool today. I have become a journaler. I have tried to keep journals in the past, but for some reason I could never keep at it for very long. I just never stuck with it. And yes, I scrapbook, but I'm falling way behind on that so it doesn't count. Plus I don't put the boring, mundane, day-to-day things in a scrapbook- just the stuff I take pictures of. But now that I have a blog, I think I can consider myself a journaler. When I first started this blog I didn't think I would update it that often. Little did I know how addicted I would become to it! Why is that? Maybe I like sharing things with you about my life. Maybe I like the fact that other people are reading this and are at least feigning interest in my life and what happens. I know that I am interested in your lives and the things you post on your blog. I check them sometimes three times a day! Thanks to the 'following' feature it takes me a lot less time to blog stalk you. But I have to tell you, I hate it when you go for long periods of time without posting anything. I know things are happening in your life and I want to know about them! I know I am guilty of the same thing from time to time, but I do my best. And even if you don't really care about what is happening in my life I'm still going to keep updating this blog. So sorry if it gets boring at times, or I gush about my kid too much. It's my life and this is what's happening in it. Thank you for reading, thank you for leaving comments and thank you for inviting me to your blog and allowing me a glimpse into your life. Even if we don't talk on the phone or face to face much, I feel like I am still close to you, even when our hectic and busy lives keep us physically apart.

We had the two month check up on Monday (sorry, I'm a little behind). Happy to report that everything is going well, Sasha is growing like a weed! Here are her stats:
23.5 inches tall (88%)
10 lbs. 6 oz. (45%)
Head is 15.5 in (69%)

A few people have commented that she looks older than two months. I can't really tell, I just think she's beautiful!
