Anniversaries

Well, today is my DH and I's 4th anniversary. Unfortunately he's working tonight, but we celebrated yesterday by going out to dinner at a steakhouse in White Rock called Onyx. The ambience was nice, the food was great, the service was good, my one and only complaint: The price! Way more expensive than what I expected for what we got to eat. But I will endeavour not to complain too loudly, as it was really nice to have a date-night out with a nice tasty dinner with a gorgeous man who brought me pretty dead flowers.


See? Aren't they pretty? I put them in a nice vase I had and they barely fit.  Our friend Sharon took care of the Munchkin while we were out having fun, so good times were had by all.

A New Beginning

Greetings Readers! (or one can hope that someone other than me is reading this)

I decided to start a blog as so many things have been going on now that I have a little one, and I've been having fun trying to do my crafts AND take care of an almost 5-month old. Luckily, I can most likely do my blogging when she's napping.

So I took my blog name from a book that we read her at bedtime called "The Napping House".  Unfortunately with my twisted sense of humour, "The Napping House" writing style has been reproduced to my great amusement to apply to other things in Rosebud's life (a name Granny has bestowed upon my little offspring). The basic gist of "The Napping House" is along the lines of: "There is a house, a Napping House, where everyone is sleeping, and in that house there is a bed, a cozy bed in a napping house where everyone is sleeping" and it keeps adding things onto the list of things on top of the last thing in the napping house, etc etc.

So my latest one has been, "There is a couch, a comfy couch, where every Rosebud eats. And on that couch, there is a pillow, a cozy pillow on the comfy couch where every Rosebud eats. And on that pillow there is a Rosebud, a hungry Rosebud on the cozy pillow on the comfy couch where every Rosebud eats. And on that Rosebud there is a mouth, a sucking mouth on the hungry Rosebud on the cozy pillow on the comfy couch where every Rosebud eats. And in that mouth there is a bottle, a feeding bottle in the sucking mouth on the hungry Rosebud on the cozy pillow on the comfy couch where every Rosebud eats. And in that bottle there is some mummy milk, some nummy mummy milk in the feeding bottle in the sucking mouth on the hungry Rosebud on the cozy pillow on the comfy couch where every Rosebud eats."

You can see where it gets kind of silly after a while.

Anyway, to talk about my Rosebud, she has stopped being distressed by being on her tummy and is starting to enjoy it, as long as her muscles are up to it. And we swear she almost crawled. Ok, maybe we're rushing our thoughts, but she got up on her hands and got her little knees under her bum which was up in the air and kinda wiggled forward a bit. That's crawling, right?
