My gut tells me the baby is a girl, but the heartbeat (old wives tale) is saying boy. Only time will tell!! It surely doesn't matter...

Gracie's is "My Angel is Here" by Wynonna. The one I have on here by Nora Jones, "Sunrise", is Will's. He was just in the office here w/me, so I picked him up and we had a little mommy/son dance. I asked him if he liked the song and he said, "No. I like cool songs." But... He let me snuggle him and quietly dance for the whole song. Gotta love those little moments...</em></span></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></em></strong>Amiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06981806381426953441noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020567468751705209.post-73711180059165685352009-08-23T07:45:00.000-07:002009-08-23T07:56:13.111-07:00The Kocher Zoo<span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwKbU-NDEXnUt7BlaSySOI5XK2SKT_GrKqwz_eDJsd8EswBgkWLfH9KMkCNBRTV4oe-XdD6dfTFwmbjHuE_gUr-iIED9_WU5aFq5Kg-kCIrAVym5oUrBp2V9MGzpw9ImJABM01vibc_ac/s1600-h/DSC01072.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373170910683381218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwKbU-NDEXnUt7BlaSySOI5XK2SKT_GrKqwz_eDJsd8EswBgkWLfH9KMkCNBRTV4oe-XdD6dfTFwmbjHuE_gUr-iIED9_WU5aFq5Kg-kCIrAVym5oUrBp2V9MGzpw9ImJABM01vibc_ac/s320/DSC01072.JPG" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><strong><em><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:85%;">George - I got a haircut and now I am <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">embarrassed</span> to go outside and see my friends!</span> </span></em></strong></div><div> </div><div> </div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373171046339271730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrC4nnFp0Ns5Z3A2ju21DPldPYlh9VbhK7ApPgq-AZQl6EpBde5O2OrNi2iDQoVqbVMXAho29GnEEU_6gRwSU7GPoQGfx1J69mJu_r-FW-iAjsLmFhZz5SE8VDsHc_miD8m0mWbcWS0jk/s320/DSC01066.JPG" /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;"> <em><span style="color:#ff0000;">Holly the Hamster - I'm stuck in the cage all day.

I think she would like a post every day, but she would get bored after about a week if I did it that much. So...I just decided to pop in and write a little note. I need to start taking some new pictures to post. At least she is interested, right?!<br /><br />We had a very busy and crazy day. Camp, friends, pool, work, work, work...but a good day. Catching up from Monday. I'm sitting in the office, the window is open, and it's raining. What a wonderful sound to help wind down the day.<br /><br />Time to find my pj's and a cup of tea. :)Amiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06981806381426953441noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020567468751705209.post-878514310366039912009-06-12T09:52:00.000-07:002009-06-12T10:03:11.140-07:00Summer has started...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlq2RMwbAjxyT1PSsz00QmG6BF-EuqqyBP5hCaIQyVSBCtTD2y2VxqrTv8pJOn5A4Ab4j6TxTlPxSFzrVITG8vCl_js6spP-DYAFD_2_rRMmrlqUKxfSwMwvUoTXPTzspxQwUh4MTTF0g/s1600-h/DSC00797.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346485872037549618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlq2RMwbAjxyT1PSsz00QmG6BF-EuqqyBP5hCaIQyVSBCtTD2y2VxqrTv8pJOn5A4Ab4j6TxTlPxSFzrVITG8vCl_js6spP-DYAFD_2_rRMmrlqUKxfSwMwvUoTXPTzspxQwUh4MTTF0g/s320/DSC00797.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346485505771733346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDA4qSZqDap25V4nNTr8deI_a0IVmltyEknszwCn3dkLINYeF-fL9Dg029cAZ_5yvt2IHTdZ9qalrUO6MSY-ehpjXkOk_B7ogLA7x1qQlnlHgrmuo309BmzF2ZIICPVYrF6pngXXcaob0/s320/DSC00775.JPG" border="0" />These are just some recent pictures I like.
