This weekend has been a pretty good do-over of last weekend. Madelyn is healthy and strong again, except for she has reached another milestine today:
She cut tooth #6! #7 is right behind. She is finally getting her "eye teeth" (central incisors) which means bye bye to a gummy toothless smile. This is both exciting and sad. What can I expect; she is 11 months old in a few days!
I spent a lot of time outside this weekend- in the shade, mind you. Not only am I paranoid about my baby getting sunburnt and dehydrated, but my crappy irish skin doesn't do well in the sun, either. 2010 does not need to be the summer I get 2 heat rashes! Ross played guitar for our church worship group this morning which was so nice. We sat toward the front and Madelyn loved watching her daddy play on stage. I stood her up on the [vacant] chair in front of us and held onto her sides so she could dance. And oh how she danced! No one could help but smile and giggle at my little cutie. I love being the mom of such a sweet girl!
I spent a lot of time with my sisters and old friends this weekend, which was so great! I love how months and years can go by and we still have as much fun together as we did in high school. I rarely meet people who make me laugh as much as they (and my sisters) do. We watched The Runaways with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. It was....actually pretty good!
At the urging of many people, I bought a small container of coconut water and just tried it. Maybe its the gross bacteria lingering in my throat from the nasty illness I just got over, but that stuff is nasty. I will finish it ONLY because I paid nearly $2 for 8 oz, and because I was outside a lot today and need to drink water right now. But eww.
I will leave you with one of the great sources of laugher this weekend. Goodnight!

Sorry, this is regarding the previous post, but... Cough syrup! Flaming Moes! Totally! Where is that treasure trove of tape-recorded Simpsons/ SNL videos from the early 90s? So priceless, Amy :)
If you ever try coconut water again, add some stevia drops and lemon juice. It'll taste MUCH better (like a healthy, refreshing gatorade). Or, try the brand called Amy and Brian's (at New Seasons) and get the Coconut Juice with Lime. SO good.
I'm smiling just thinking of all of you together! You all are so incredibly funny.
I really laughed with that video...:) too funny- thanx
Kara, do you have a blog! I wanna read dat!
Katie- lets chat and arrange a Newberg visit soon!
OH, by the way, I did find a coconut water I liked: Its called (I think- lemme look at the bottle here...) "Real Coconut Water/Pulp". It has small chunks of coconut. Maddy and I discovered it when we went on a walk in the the next neighborhood over, got lost, and then ended up parched at Safeway on a hot day. We both loved it!
