“When I am sleepy and people need me, I just want to eat a lot of sweets.”

“I married a celebrity who makes no money.”

“Would you ever call a guy a brunette?”

It is only 10:35, but I should be sleeping.

Lily went to the beach yesterday for the first time.  Our camera was, unfortunately, out of batteries.  She was a little unsure about crawling in the sand, but really loved it.  Surprisingly, she didn’t try to eat it.  Once she was comfortable in the sand, she took of straight for the ocean water!  Once she hit wet sand, she immediately stopped, checked it out, scratched it, felt it, and continued toward the water.  It was a bit cold!

Lily has been having a hard time sleeping lately.  I think she is getting some of her molars… She has been awfully fussy.  Last night, I didn’t go to bed until 2am… Lily always sleeps until 8, so I would get a good 6 hours of sleep, right?  Wrong.  Lily awakened at 3:45am.  After a bottle and 2 diaper changes, she would not go back to sleep.  We were up until 6am.  We even had her in bed with us for a while and no one slept….

Andy was Superman today and took care of Lily when she got up again at 9.  I slept in a little bit, which was much needed.  Lily was very daddy-needy today.  She wanted Andy to hold her at all times.  She was very fussy about everything.  He was Super-Dad and did a great job of taking care of her the majority of the day.

Lily is sleeping at my mom’s tonight so we can get some rest!  Time for bed.

Oh.. Hey Andy… Since when did you start a “Stacey says…” category??? Huh?  You say much more ridiculous things than I.

I’m married to Superman Dad.

Thanks, honey!

Cereal that is not name brand is disgusting. (Right before I plow into a bowl of “Nutty Nuggets.”)

Stacey was the perfect wife and mom tonight. She was frugal at Fred Meyer (you can be proud, Wanda), requesting that I put back the Columbia Gorge smoothie ($2.99). Instead, she offered to make me smoothies and pancakes for dinner. I sighed, thinking this was just going to cause additional dishes. After sharing this thought, she said, “Don’t worry, honey. I’ll make dinner and do the dishes.” WOAH!#$@ I was blown out of the water. All I could do was say yes, and not ask this beautiful alien what she did with my real Stacey (just kidding).

Anyway, I love you honey. Thank for Brinner. It was great. Lily and I both thoroughly enjoyed your concoctions.

Tonight, I told Lily that watching her suck smoothie through a straw was one of my favorite things to watch. While that’s definitely true, it’s probably the ratio between (lack-of) significance and (acute) enjoyment that makes it so wonderful.

Thanks, Lily. You are beautiful.

While I was saran wrapping the leftovers from dinner tonight, the wrapping accidentally caught onto the fly paper on the counter. I tried ripping it off, but sticky meets sticky and we’ve got a problem. So, I ripped the saran wrap and ended up getting my hand caught to the fly paper. My wrist untangled, I exclaimed “yuck” as I wiped flies off my forearm and palm.

“A five-foot pepperoni?!?  That’s taller than my sister!”
