new pics and just a little insight...

check out the pics I got with my brand new camera!!! I LURVE it sooooo much! we went to the pool this morning and Roo had so much fun splashing around and climbing on all the lawn chairs!



and after a little swimming she stole Grandma's sandwich! naughty little bunny!!!

trying to look innocent when she was caught!

yummmmmmm....

So today I was thinking about how different my life is now. A few short years ago I would have been out partying like a rock star Friday night and slept in until Saturday afternoon. Today I woke up at 6:45am! It's true what they say- the early bird catches the worm... the wiggle worm! Roo wakes up with more energy than I can believe, hollering at me from her end of the house "Mommy! eat!!!!!" I go in and free her from the crib. She scrambles on her fat little legs to our bedroom and up onto the bed. "Daddy!! eat!!" flinging her body full throttle on his sleeping form. Poor guy! He tries to duck under the covers and she rips them off squealing. He ducks back under then reappears with a growl and she is laughing so hard she almost rolls off the bed. We all snuggle and roughouse for a little while, playing peekaboo and tickling. We try to get her to lay back down with us, but she reminds us constantly "EAT!!!"! After breakfast she is more content to lay on the couch and snuggle with us or read books. So I'm wide awake way earlier than I want to be, and thinking about the difference between my single life and now... and I realize THIS is what I was missing! I never knew then how much fun there was to be had by staying home on Friday night only to wake up bright and early to a screaming toddler and a snoring husband! I wouldn't trade them for the world! I do so love my life ;)
