A whole lot of nothing

This is this evening's sunset - that's me on the right, walking with Keri and Chemise (I'm wearing the baby)

Cute, yes?

His poor little bum looks sunburned or something in this picture...but, trust me, it's not really



Colten's asleep on my shoulder as I type this, so please forgive me if there are more typographical errors than usual. I don't have a whole lot to say...I just have a moment in front of the computer; so here I go.

For all my friends and family in the cold states, I hate to tell you this, but we have been experiencing the absolute most beautifully warm weather the past few days. My body actually hurts from all the walks our roommate keeps making me take with her each evening. The sunsets have been amazing, as you can see.

Other than to brag about the weather, all I have to say is that Colten is the cutest darn kid ever. EVER. I understand that now...how parents all think their kid is the cutest...but mine really is. Tim and I literally just sit around and say things like, "wow, that kid is cute," and "seriously, have you ever since such a cute kid?" So next time you see me, you can humor me and say, yes Jessica, your kid is very cute; even if you don't really think so (but seriously, how could you not?!). But I'll stop with the cute talk...I realize that this is an annoying train of thought.

So anyways, it's January, it's beautiful, Colten is 6 and a half months old, Tim's busy at work, I'm busy everywhere, and that's all I've got for today.

A short tail




I just feel the need to share this. The other morning I woke up groggy after a not-so-good night's sleep, and I went into the kitchen to make myself some tea. I turned on the burner to heat the water, then Tobey the Cat started meowing at me like crazy to feed him. So I put some cat food in a bowl and set it on the butcher block next to the stove for him to eat. Yeah, not such a good idea. In case you don't know it, cats + stoves = bad news. Yep, I set the cat's tail on fire.
