It's Tuesday!

and Tuesday means we celebrate another week with our sweet baby girl! Miriam is 12 weeks old today. (actually it's past midnight so I guess that would be YESTERDAY - but since I haven't gone to sleep for the night, it's still TODAY for me) Since everyone is on meds & feeling better (besides, it is SPRING BREAK, & we wanted to do something FUN), we decided to take Miriam back to where she came from - Osage Beach! :) Actually, it's the town where my OB & the hospital are ... and it's also a fun place to visit to go to outlet malls and such like. I haven't been back since my 6 week check-up with my OB.

I love my Goodwill and thrift stores ... but occasionally, I want something BRAND NEW - and that's where outlets come in. Carter's had baby clothes (fall/winter) on sale for $3.99 and under, as did The Children's Place. I got a few shirts & onesies for Mimi for next winter (size 6-9 months+) and pajamas for Anna. Dan & Andrew found a few bargain books at the Border's outlet where they also give a teacher's discount. For myself, I got a decaf mocha from Starbucks (not on clearance, but I had a gift card). I also was able to find some CLEARANCE things at Target (and I love their $1 section at the front - you never know what you'll find), and in anticipation of our big summer event - Dan's parents' 50th wedding anniversary - a swimsuit for Miss M as well. We had to have her model it, of course.

Since discovering picnik.com, I don't think I'll ever post a "normal" picture ever again! :)

As I write, my mom is on a plane going to Germany!! I am happy for her - but I'm also very jealous. I haven't been to Germany since the summer of 2005 before Dan got out of the Army - and I miss it sooooo much!! However, I'll get over myself & ask that you please say a prayer for my mom's safe travels as she spends 2 weeks visiting friends and relatives. Auf wiedersehen!
