One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, BLUE! Fish

We thought we'd try the whole "fish" thing again.  We were going to get another goldfish, but Jeremiah really liked the bettas.  So we went with a pretty BLUE male betta!  Jeremiah was really excited all the way home, and wanted to hold him, but he insisted on shaking him up the whole time, so he rode on the floor instead.

So far so good!  He certainly is prettier than a goldfish.  I think we need to get him a plant, or something, to hide in.  And maybe a mirror... Bwahahahaha!

[Me] & Goji --- A new way to "cereal"!

This is cool stuff. 

[Me]&Goji is a company that allows you to mix your very own cereal and then ships it right to your door!  They have all sorts of yummy organic ingredients from which to choose and it's sent to you in a recycleable/reusable cardboard canister (I kinda wanna order just for the cool canisters!)  They even give you a "live" nutrional information update as you add/subtract ingredients!

I'm anxious to try this out--I'm always on the lookout for yummy snacks to take with us on the road, but am getting tired of the same old Goldfish (that Jeremiah no longer likes...,) and dried fruit.

So check it out.  From what I hear, it's good stuff.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

'Cuz Us Wilcox's are sooooo Irish, we went all out celebrating St. Patty's day yesterday!

Yeah, that was sarcasm. I did do my best to dress the kiddies in green, though, since I myself do not have a single item of green clothing (well, one maternity shirt, but I wasn't gonna break that out! Not that we went anyways/did anything....) The moms in my Moms' group were all talking about how the "Leprechauns" visited their houses and left "green footprints" (green glitter), dyed the milk and toilet water "green" (not mixed together, though... eww...) and turned furniture over/TP'd the bathrooms/taped toys to the ceiling, etc... Uhh... yeah, my house is messy enough that if the leprechauns did come through, we probably wouldn't have noticed. And I certainly did not feel like cleaning up after them, too!

So the kids were dressed in green, and we drank out of our "green" cups, and that's about it. 'Though Jeremy and I did drink Guiness with our dinner Monday night (it even had a clover in the head/foam! Cool.....) Yeah, we're so Irish! Go us!

Maybe I'll invite the leprechauns over next year.

"Don't forget Jesslyn, Mommy!" Don't worry, sweetie, she's in the frame, too.

"I'm gonna fall on you, Jesslyn....." ;)

"Nooooooooo!!!" ~Jeremiah, as in, "oh, no, here I come!"

"AHHH!! No, Jesslyn! Don't get me!" He had it comin'. :)

Yes, I know, that blue thing isn't green. Well, I didn't put that on him. He did. It's a terry cover up I bought for him to wear at the pool when he was a baby (as in, 9 month old....) Yeah. And the lei.... well, why not, at that point.

Showing off her [non] Irish pride! (Actually, I think Jeremy has SOME Irish in him, though if he does, it's a very small amount.... like 1/8 or less. So she might be 1/32nd or so Irish. Or something.)

6 Months!

Yay!  We've made it to the 6 month mark.  What???  6 months!  Holy smokes!  Where did the time go????

So what does being 6 months bring??  So far, nothing much.  She can sit, unsupported, pretty well (those rolls on her legs are good for SOMETHING after all!)  At least, for a minute or two.  Well, until she sees something she needs to have.  Then it's on the floor!  

As far as floor action goes, we're still in that pre-crawl stage.  She can roll around to get things pretty well, spin around on her belly, scootch backwards and rock on her hands and knees.  Basically, everything BUT move forward.  It's only a matter of time... One of these days, she's just going to take off, and that'll be the last time we see her!  :)

Other stuff... well, she FINALLY started eating rice cereal.  We've been trying to get her to eat it for a while now (every couple of days for the past month,) but mostly she would just let it sit in her mouth and then spit it out.  She thought it was very funny, though--always did it with a smile on her face, as you may have seen from the videos!  So, yeah, we're glad she decided to start swallowing her food.  Yay!  Maybe in another week or two, we can try sweet potatoes, or bananas or something.  We'll see.

Wednesday, she went for her follow up appointment with the cardiologist.  As you know, when she was born, she "suffered" an "acute event" that led to as an "ASD" or atrial septal defect.  Basically, she had a small hole in her heart and that caused a lot of problems at birth!  This normally heals itself on its own, but she needed some extra help, hence the NICU stay.  

At one month, this hole had shrunk to .3 mm (in other words, TINY!)  Because it was still there, they wanted us to keep an eye on her and return for a follow up in three months.  Well, three months turned into 5, so we finally brought her back.  Of course, all is well--the hole is completely gone!  The doctor (the same gal she saw in the hospital that first day) kept saying, "She's very lucky... you're very lucky..."  No, lady, luck had nothing to do with it.  You should have seen how many people this little girl had praying for her that first week-- a lot!  And more than we even know.  There was nothing "lucky" about it--she's a very blessed little gal who has a Father in heaven who was looking out for her (and a Mommy who trusted that He would, completely, which may have translated, in some's opinion, to irrationality, in that I didn't believe the doctors when they said how bad she was.  I still think they exaggerated a bit (especially when they hear she was a homebirth... yeah, we won't get started on that again,) but I knew, I KNEW, that God was looking after her, and He would heal her.  I'm sure He used the doctors and nurses to help with that, but I found their "lack" of faith disturbing (quoteth Darth Vader...)  And the lack of faith of some of those around us (not my parents, however!  My Mom was praying the whole time we were at the hospital that first day.  I couldn't have gotten through that day without her--she was a huge source of comfort, and kept reminding me what I already knew--that God was in control.  So yes, when Jeremy brought her home, and said, "She's fine," my response was, "Yeah, I'm not surprised."

Best part--the doctor wanted to hold Jesslyn, and she kept crying.  They thought it might have her glasses, so she took them off, but nope.  She still cried.  I guess she just doesn't like people who upset her Mommy.  :)

Anyways, she's a lot of fun nowadays!  She's very babble-ly.  She loves to say, "Da da da da..." and "ma ma ma ma...."  She also smacks her lips (using her tongue, some how???) and has traded her binky for her thumb.  It's really cute--she'll just be sitting there, or more often, laying there, and next thing you know, she's got her whole thumb in her mouth, hand open, just sucking away.  I hope it's shortlived, though... I don't really want to have to persuade her to stop sucking her thumb when she's older.  Can't throw away a thumb!  

Yup, that's about it.  Oh, and she loves her big brother!  She especially loves it when he runs in her room, after she's woken up from her nap, and hops up on the side of her crib to talk to her.  Or when we're walking up the steps, behind Jeremiah, I let her try to grab his hair (not really, but she doesn't know that...) and say, "Uh oh... let's get Jeremiah!"  Usually they both laugh at that.  It's so cute!  She definitely looks up to him, and wants to do everything he's doing!  Should be a fun time.  :)

Trying to suck her thumb through her sweater...

Awww...  too tired from trying to crawl...

I was having a tough time takin' her picture... it was nighttime, and I had to use a flash, which kept making her squint instead of smile.  So this was the best I could get.  Still cute!

She loves her Daddy!  And she especially loves his beard--always the first thing she reaches for when she's on his lap!

One fish, two fish, red fish, dead fish....

Today was the last of the beautiful days for a little while. To take advantage of it, we had breakfast outside, though Jeremiah wanted me to get his jacket as it was quite windy. Afterwards, we played a bit while I tried to figure out what to do once Jesslyn woke from her nap. I should have gone to Costco, but instead decided, "Hey, we should go to Petsmart and get Jeremiah a goldfish!"

So we did.

I got him a one gallon bowl (it even came with directions!) and a little itty bitty goldfish for $.12 (just for the fish, the bowl was a little more...) Jeremiah was very excited to have his fish, and held the bag all the way home!

Unfortunately, nothing trumps the garage and what's in the garage... I thought I'd be able to get him into the house, easily, so we could set up his new fishy's home, but he pitched a fit and I had to carry him in (after he'd thrown his fishy down on the ground... poor thing.) So while he whined at the door (and Jesslyn whined in the highchair... she was hungry!) I followed the directions and filled the bowl about 2/3's of the way up with tap water, added some gravel, let the fish acclimate and then plopped the fish in!

By then, Jeremiah was happy, eating his lunch, watching his fish, and life was good. After all that excitement, though, it was naptime, so we said goodnight to the fish and both kiddies went down for their naps.

I went back downstairs to put Jesslyn's bottle in the fridge, and glanced at the bowl. "Huh..." I said, "Where's the fish?" Upon closer inspection, I spotted him hovering near the bottom of the bowl... on his side. Yes, this fish was dead. Dead, dead, dead. Not even fighting for his life, just dead.



Sigh... I scooped him up, and walked him to the bathroom. When Jeremiah woke up, I told him the fishy ran away, and that we would get him a new one in a couple of days... one that won't run away... hopefully.

In the meantime, the bowl sits fish-less, while we allow the chlorine [a silent, but deadly killer...] to work its way out of the water.

Old vids, new vids...

Some stuff from the archives...

Three months old... Wow, she's changed quite a bit since December...

Jeremiah reads to Big Fella:



Our attempt(s) at feeding Jesslyn solids [5 months]:


Okay... let's try that again...



I have another one from today, when Jeremy tried... Yeah, she wasn't feelin' it then, either. But that'll have to wait 'til another post!

No wonder everyone's sick...

We went from this....

...6 inches of snow, high of 20-something....

....to this, 50's and sunny, snow still on the ground....

[feeding the bunnies at the farm...]

[there are 5 slides on this playground... he picked the ONE that had water on it to slid down first... it wasn't this one, but as you can see, he had to work to get down it, since his butt was all wet]

...to THIS!

Sunny, high's in the upper-60's, with 70's all weekend.

Jackets optional!

Good times.

I'm behind...

A cold has been making its rounds through the household this week... And by rounds, I mean Jeremy mentioned it, and I got it.  So far, no one else seems to be affected.  But for now, I sound like a chain smoker and take 5 pillows to bed to sleep.  :)  Good times.

SOOOOO MUCH I need to write about.  But I'm not staying up tonight to do it.  Friday is a slow day, so I'll try to catch up then. 

In the mean time, cuteness abounds....

Jeremy put Jeremiah's hat on her... I think she liked it. :)

"I miss my hat..."

I was taking pics of Jesslyn, and Jeremiah, Mr. Ham, wanted in on the action.  Aww, my little man is going to be 26 months on Saturday!  They grow so fast...

I'm not sure what he's doing here... I think he was just being silly.  It made me laugh when I saw it!  :)

He LOVES his trains!  And he kept wanting me to take pictures of him and his trains... So I had to oblige. :)

Another beautiful day!

Friday, it was nearly 70 degrees out.  Not too shabby for February.   We tried to enjoy it as much as we could, with an outting and a little "off-roading."  Jeremiah really enjoyed himself, of course, and it was nice to have the warm weather around. [BTW, Jesslyn ALSO has a pair of overalls to match her big brother's!  But I haven't had a chance to snap a pic of both of them together yet.  And she's too much of a lady to wear hers shirtless.  Our little country bumpkin.]

Maybe spring is here!!  Not so fast--yesterday and today have been chilly, snow's been falling, and they've already canceled school for tomorrow in our county.  So far, it's just been threatening us-all bark, no bite.  But it looks like it's starting to accumulate, so it'll definitely cause havoc in the morning.  Yay.

At least spring is only [technically] 19 days away!

Awesome shirt!

True.

Unfortunately for me, it sold out from shirt.woot.com . Oh well. Maybe next time.

Okie dokie, artichokie.

Yesterday, we took Jesslyn to Fair Oaks Hospital for some more test.  These were to determine the cause of her UTI from last month.  Our pediatrician wanted to make sure there were no other problems we needed to worry about.  

First on the docket--an ultrasound of her bladder and kidneys.  Short, sweet, and she handled it like a pro.  Afterwards, they gave her a little knitted bear, which she enjoyed chewing on immensley.  

After that was a VCUG or a vascular....something or other.  An x-ray type thing where they shoot some dye into her bladder, via catheter (nice...) and then watch to see what it does.  This was not as much fun.  First of all, I didn't have her diaper bag with us because we were supposed to have a break inbetween procedures [the first was only supposed to be 10 min.]  So no bottle or binky.  A nurse went to go find Jeremy, but he had disappeared with Jeremiah [who did NOT, under and circumstances, want to leave the waiting area.]  This cleary annoyed the radiologist who was performing the test, since we had no way to calm Jesslyn down, other than letting her suck on my pinky.  And Jesslyn wasn't exactly having a grand old time being held down, naket, while some big x-ray machine hovered over her...  All she wanted was for Mommy to pick her up, and of course, as soon as I did, she was fine.  Though I must say, she was great almost the whole time [even when they put the catheter in!] but had just had enough by the end.

End result?  "She has stage 2 reflux on both sides..." meaning, her kidneys discharge urine into her bladder, and some of it goes back up into the kidneys, when it should be a one way street.  This is the likely cause of her UTI.  Awesome.  Most kids grow outta this, but they may want to put her on antibiotics for a couple of years.... Uhh... yeah right.  We'll see, but I don't think we'll be doing that.  I didn't particularly care for this radiologist gal... She didn't seem very caring, didn't even introduce herself, and then left before I had a chance to ask questions.  I guess we'll wait and see what the pediatrician says and go from there.

And to top it all off, Jeremiah needs to go to a speech therapist...  I didn't realize how far behind he'd gotten with his speech, but I guess it's worse than I thought.  We have an appointment set up with the county (tax dollars at work) but it's not 'til May!  So we may go the private route and let the insurance pick up the tab, for at least some of it.

What a mess.  It's all good, though.  Things could always be worse, and this is no exception.  Loads o' fun.  

I need a vacation....

A beautiful winter day...

Finally, after several cold, gloomy days, it was bright, sunny and warm enough to head outside. We grabbed a quick lunch at Chik-fil-a, which was kinda a disaster at first... I didn't want to bring the stroller in, figuring Jeremiah could just walk and I could hold Jesslyn. Well, as soon as we walked inside, and saw how busy it was, Jeremiah's legs turned to jello, and he ended up on the floor. Thankfully, he didn't scream, just sat there, waiting for me to pick him up... except, I had Jesslyn. I *could* have picked him up, but I don't really want to encourage him to do that in public... My chiropractor would kill me if he knew I was picking up a 34lb toddler while holding a 23 lb baby... The employees there were AWESOME, though! One gal brought a high chair for Jeremiah to sit in while I was still ordering [it had wheels] and another brought our food to our table, and even helped strap Jesslyn into a 2nd high chair! So great--we'll definitely be hitting them up for lunch again if we're grabbing and going.

After Chik-fil-a, we stopped at Target so I could get more painkiller for Jesslyn. It's become a necessity if you want her to nap more than 30 minutes... I swear, those teeth had better come in soon, or else! I don't know what else. Maybe I'll punch 'em in the face! The teeth, not Jesslyn. Of course, I don't know how you'd punch the teeth in the face (ummm... especially since they don't have faces??) without hurting Jesslyn even more. So we'll just hope and pray they come in soon, before she becomes addicted to Childrens Tylenol (is that even possible??? ya never know....)

Anyways, Jeremiah was not excited to be at Target. He knew as well as I did that it was an outside-playing worthy day, and didn't want to spend it perusing the clearance racks for stuff Mom would *have* to buy because "it's 75% off!!!" But he was cool with it once I grabbed a Spider-man placemat for him from the $1 section (we're trying to encourage him to use the booster seat, so Jesslyn can use the high chair, but the tray on the booster isn't very big, and we don't want him to get our nice, new table all mucked up. Spider-man, to the rescue!)

I just have to rant about this real quick...

[ rant ]
Attention parking lot drivers! I cannot be looking for you 100% of the time when backing out! I don't have 360 degree vision, especially when looking over my shoulder! If you weren't there when I started backing up, then you need to WAIT until I'm done--not race past me, honking your horn annoyingly, because I was making sure the other side of the car was clear! Seriously, if the car is in motion backing up, STOP! Is it really going to kill you to wait 5 more seconds until I/we finish pulling out?!? I know it was worth it for you, crazy lady in the blue SUV--you got to that stop light before I did! Lucky you! I hope you didn't mind me starring at you the entire time the light was red, flashing the most sarcastic smile I could when you finally glanced over... You looked slightly uncomfortable.... why was that??? ;)

Same to you, crazy Chik-fil-a "I need to zip past this person backing up so I can get in line in the drive thu!" I'm sure the gentleman next to me really appreciated you being such a jerk when he was just trying to leave, too, probably to go back to work as well.

Stupid Reston-lunchtime drivers. These are probably a lot of the same people who make attending the Mclean Bible Church Tyson's campus, on Sundays, so stressful. I don't understand how people can leave church after worshipping, and hearing the word of God, and then honk at people as they speed along past instead of letting them backup... Thank God for the Loudoun campus! :)

[ /rant ]

Okay. And now.... pictures!

"That??" Yes, Jeremiah, we have a garage... "That??" Yes, Jeremiah, our neighbors have garages, too... "That??!!" Wash, rinse, repeat.... everyday... What can I say... he's obsessed with garage doors.

First bloom of the season! In the most unlikely place, too--under the big bushy evergreen in front of our house! I didn't know these things came back every year... Always thought they were only good for a season. Isn't that why the malls always replant them every year?

The denim kids! I actually bought Jeremiah's jacket for Jesslyn (it's a 2T) but the 12M size I bought her fits just fine. So they can both where their jean jackets together! And yes, Mommy wore hers, too.

Welcome, one and all!

Howdy howdy, everyone!  Glad to see you!  :)

Just to clarify, yes, there are now TWO blog to chronicle our lives--this one, and uswilcoxtypes.blogspot.com.  Instead of completely censoring what I say when I "blog", I've decided to have our blog here and "blog lite" at the other site.  All the good, juicy details of our lives will be chronicled here, and the leftovers go to the other blog.  I want to be free to share the more "intimate" details of our lives without having to worry about our privacy being breeched.  Does that make sense?

Anyways, I hope you enjoy.  I'm sorry if there's been so much confusion with what's been going on with our blogs.  Rest assured, this is the last stop.  So feel free to link to Us Wilcox Types from your blogs (most have already done so,) and stop by here when you want the meat and potatoes.  :)

And now, a few *exclusive* bath time fun shots!

Mmmm.... bath-water soaked fingers...

"Seriously? You're taking my picture while I'm trying to chill in the tub?"  Yes, sweetie, I am. :)

Pre-bath teddy love!

Jesslyn's 5 Months!

Yeesh... Been trying to post this post FOREVER! Oh well. Whatcha gonna do...

Anyways, Jesslyn is 5 months now! Hard to believe, really... Part of me feels like she's always been around, and it's like, "What, she's only been here 5 months!" The other part feels like, "really... it's only been 5 months?" Either way, it's all good.

Every day, she's becoming more and more fun! She's mastered rolling over, both from front to back and back to front. And I think crawling is within her grasp, as she can scoot herself all over the place! No elevated place is safe, anymore... It's only a matter of time before she'll be chasing Jeremiah around the house, trying to steal his socks (as she was trying to do earlier today.)

Teething wise, we're on the cusp, I think. She's not been napping very well lately, waking up after only 30-45 minutes. But, if I give her some Tylenol, or Motrin, then a 30 minute naps turns into two hours! Go figure. So while nothing's actually shown up yet, I think they're coming... and she's not afraid to let us know.

Along those lines, we had an unusual experience at church today. We dropped the kiddies off at their respective rooms--Jeremiah in the "Navigators" and Jesslyn in the nursery. She was asleep, as she usually is when we drop her off, since it's during her nap time. The last few weeks, that's how she's stayed the whole time, barely, if ever, making a peep. Today, though, about halfway through the service, I saw her number flash up on the LED screen. :( So I got up to go see what was wrong (half expecting it to have been a mistake... there's no way she woke up and was then so upset they had to page us, after all!) Well, I was wrong... She was crying... And no one could get her to stop. It was the saddest cry I've seen... that lower lip of hers just quivered so much, and the tears, and the sobs... But as soon as she saw Mommy, she started calming down. Once I was holding her, she calmed down, except for a few angry cries, as if to say, "What were you thinking, leaving me here with all these strangers, while I was asleep! Are you crazy!?" Sorry, sweetie... Mommy thought you'd sleep the whole time. Next time, I'll give ya a swig of Tylenol before we leave. :)

That is all, for now! Some pictures?




Where have we see this dress before.....

Oh, I don't know....

For a while now, I've been contemplating what to do about the blog.

As you may have noticed, I divulge quite a bit about our lives here. So much so that one does not have to try very hard to know what is going on in our lives--they just have to come here. This is intentional, since both our families are spread out quite a bit, and the density of traffic around here prevents us from seeing friends very often.

However, sometimes people piss you off/hurt/annoy you so much that you don't feel the need to share with them anymore. They do something so stupid, and so.... vengeful, that there's really no reason to keep them in the loop anymore, related or not. That's part of the reason why we moved the blog.

Now, it has come to my attention that I probably use the blog as a sounding board a little too much. I say things in frustration, and "to vent" and the next thing I know, some folks are reading into what I say WAAAAAAAY too much, and nearly ruins Jeremy's birthday as a result [which was yesterday, btw... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABISH! ;) ] It's amazing how much hurt/anger/annoyance e-mail can cause... [and how even more strained relationships become because of it....]

Anyways, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'd like to keep the blog as is, but now realize that that is unrealistic. So do I open it up only to invited readers? Do I start posting "bare-bones" posts with pictures and captions only? Do I create a different blog to use as my "sounding board"? I don't know yet. There are people who read our blog that probably wouldn't if they had to create a Google account to do so. And I personally don't see the point of just posting pictures and captions--I could use a photo-hosting service for that.

All I know is that this will be the last "personal" post on here until I figure it out. I'm extremely disappointed that I finally have to make this decision, but if it saves us the turmoil of the past week, it'll be so worth it! [i won't TEll you who Deserves the thanks for that... i'm sure they know.]

So don't be surprised if it's quiet here for a while. A break from the blog world might be good for me, anyways. That's a couple of hours a week, at least, I could spend doing other things. We'll see, I guess.

And that is that. NAP TIME! :)

Jeremiah's 2nd Birthday!

Yeah, this are a little late... I just noticed that I had uploaded these to the server, and forgot about them.





Lunch at Red Robin...



He didn't like them singing to him...



The ice cream sundae made it all better, though!



Here's Jeremiah's Chuck E Cheese fun from his 2nd birthday! It was his first time going, and he LOVED it! We couldn't get him to leave without a fight! Though he did freak out a little when they stamped his hand when we first go there.... (it's a "kid check" thing they do--kids hands get stamped with a number and parents get the same. Even Jesslyn gets a sticker with it! But yeah, freaked Jeremiah out.)

Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy!

Jesslyn LOVES to bounce!

This girl is a motion maniac! If she's not bouncing in her "play thing" she's bouncing in her bouncer we put up in the doorway. Or on your lap, which is especially cute.

She doesn't bounce that much in this video... kept getting distracted by the sun. But when the camera wasn't rolling, she couldn't stop!

Yet another active child! I don't know how we did it. :) Didn't get it from Mommy & Daddy, that's for sure, but now it'll force us to be more so. Not a bad motivation to get up and moving!

And here she is....

LUNCH!

Tomatoes, cucumbers, and a little blue cheese dressing. Oh, and hot chocolate (not shown) to wash it all down.

That's what he wanted.... Interesting combo, I know. :)

BTW, he can say three words perfectly now (and many more that we can translate...) "apple" "baby" and "people" which I think he learned how to say by combining "baby" and "apple" ["bapple" --->"people" makes sense, right?]

Jesslyn's 4 Month Checkup

Cliff's Notes version!

99th%+ weight [20/10].  99th%+ height [27] 99th%+ head [17?]

New doctor.  Good visit.  Mutual respect.  No tears.  Lots of drool. :)

Next up: solids!

LOST, Season 5

Only 29 episodes remain.  Wow.  

This past week's episode was much better than the first two!  The less "Oceanic 6" focused, the better.  It was particularly interesting to see the the islanders traversing through time, meeting some "old" friends in an earlier state.  And we now have some answers as to the problems that plague the island (preggers problems, Rose's cancer cure, "mysterious" island disease...)  It's amazing what a little radiation leak outta a Hydrogen bomb can do!

Anyway, I won't be doing reviews this year, as I tried to last year.  Too much commitment with not enough time to gather all my thoughts into one place.

Therefore, I'd like to introduce you to Erika!  Erika writes up a weekly recap for her blog, Long Live Locke (she's a bit of a Locke fan...) and they're also posted on DarkUFO's site, as well.  Her recaps are pretty close to how I feel/think about the show, and she can explain things in a far more simplistic way than some other writers tend to do.  In a nutshell, she speaks for me!  :) 

I'll be linking to her blog here once she uploads it, usually on the Monday following the episode.  If I think there's anything she left out, I'll add my thoughts.  She's usually pretty good, though, so I hope you'll enjoy!

Oh, and a couple of things--her pictures always have captions, so scroll over them and all her subject headings are song lyrics.  She will usually name them in the comments section.

Without further adieu...
