2 Month Dr. Appointment

Well, today was Nate's 2 month Dr. visit! Nate is weighing exactly 10 pounds, which puts in in the 26th%, a little low, but the Dr. says that he is gaining weight properly and not to worry about it because he was little to begin with since he was born 3 weeks early. Nate is 22 1/4" long and in the 50th% for that. He is also in the 50th% for his head size (don't remember the measurement though). He is right on track for his age, holding his head up, smiling some, pooping and eating well, so forth. Dr. Lam says that he is really strong (as in his kicking), which I could have told him seeing as Nate was a kicker from very early on! Nate got his first set of vaccines today and is doing well so far. He is a little bit fussy, but as long as he is near me he seems to be doing well! Hopefully he will stay feeling well! He, of course, fussed when the nurse gave him his shots (4 of them) and boy do I hate to hear my sweetheart cry like that. He has a very distinct cry for when he is in pain :( Anyway, Nate is doing well and is right on track!

Projectile Spitup, Courtesy of Nathaniel

Nate has recently decided that spitting up is the way to go! It is like over night he went from not spitting up to spitting up on regular basis. He does the whole projectile puke thing so he does not usually get it on his clothes, just on whoever is holding him at that particular moment (which is typically me). I had to change my shirt three times yesterday because of this matter. What brought this all up is that he just spit up down my night gown... gross!

Our Top Ten "Edibles" That Aren't Really Edible

This post is in direct response to some of Dave Pilkington's incorrect choices in his top ten worst junk foods. We agree with #9 (Popcorn Jelly Bellys), #8 (Peanut Butter Kisses), #3 (Snowballs), and #2 (Flaming Hot Funions) and those that made to our list as well have got to be in the top ten on everyone's list. We have never had an Oreo Cakester and never will, thanks for the warning.

However, we must inform you (David) that you are mistaken on several items...
#10, Skittles... Dan, "I love the rainbow... in small amounts" Steph, "as long as you do not eat all the flavors at the same time... you are good to go!"
#7 Hostess Fruit Pies... says Dan, "best food ever". Steph says, "they are OK".
#6 Circus Peanuts... Dan, "Once again, wonderful in moderation" Steph, "uhh... they are not the worst thing I have eaten"

Now onto the list...

10. Mountain Dew Code Red - Steph, "Can any one think of anything worse to combine with Mt. Dew than cherry?" Dan, "Freaking Commie drink"
9. Dominoes Pizza - Steph, "Cardboard with sauce" Dan, "Frozen pizza is WAY better"
8. Funions - Steph, "If it smells like feet, it's not a treat!" Dan, "and I like onions"
7. Orbit Bubble Mint Gum - Dan, "It's not worth the three calories." Steph, "agreed"
6. Valentine's Heart Candies - Steph, "At least Tums have calcium" Dan, "I got a hate one once"
5. Popcorn Jelly Bellys - Steph, "The only jellybean worse are those Harry Potter ones and they are meant to taste bad" Dan, "Hey did you know there is a Jelly Belly store out in South Jordon"
4. Boston Baked Beans candy - Dan, "Seriously, they were like good when I was like five, but so were my boogers!" Steph, "Never had them, but if they resemble a baked bean in candy form... I am not going there"
3. Good n' plenty - Steph, "I think I just puked in my mouth again" Dan, "Those things are just nasty, I have never liked them, they are just gross."
2. Peanut Butter Kisses (those Halloween candies wrapped in Orange and Black Wrappers) - Dan, "I could at least trade Good n' Plenty for something better." Steph, "Anything sold in two pound bags has GOT to be bad."
1. Idaho Spud - Dan, "I have never eaten one before, but I have dropped kids off at the pool that look like those." Steph, "Seriously, I have stepped in things that taste better."







Look at that thing... need we say more!

Here are our honorable mentions:
Peanut M&M's - Steph likes them, Dan says, "I'll eat them, but I don't like em" (Sorry Autumn)
Regular Tootsie Rolls - the worst for Steph, honorable mention for Dan
Peeps - beep, beep, boom (like a microwave)
Sixlets - Dan loves them... Steph hates them
Chiclets - They lose their flavor far too quickly
Junior Caramels - THEY HURT US!!! Dan, "They should not take more energy to clean them off your teeth than you get from eating them" Steph, "Sounds like a good weight lose program to me"
Mt. Dew Revolution - Berries and Ginseng, come on now???

Steph must add that if Dan will not eat it (such as the things on the list), they MUST be bad!

Lily Jane Macbeth

Just wanted to say congratulations to Heather and Ben Macbeth on the birth of their beautiful little girl Lily Jane! She is an absolute doll, I love her hair :D Congrats again!

Oh happy day!

OK, so Jack is apparently not a complete idiot :D I got a phone call from Char last night, within an hour of my last posting actually, saying that Jack had returned. Char's cat Tator was outside (I think that Char was too) and they heard meowing (like they did the night before). Then Char saw something with yellow eyes and thought that it was a raccoon, Tate took off running over to it and Char told him to be careful. The next thing she knows, Tate and Jack come running back over to the house! YEAH!!! Jack is home! Stupid cat! Dan is going to go pick him up tonight to bring him back home. Char said that Jack was just happy to be back where there was food and water and Tator. Jack and Tator are best friends :D Anywho... Jack is home... no more sadness :D

Sadness

I am sad to say, but Jack has gone MIA! He went outside at Char & Dad's place around midnight on Sunday night and he has yet to come back and we doubt that he will since he has been gone so long :( We are really sad and miss our funny little kitty who loves us so much (particularly me)! I think that he wondered off too far and could not remember how to get back since he does not live there. Who knows though. Char and Dad went around looking for him today and gave their e-mail addresses to the pound so that if they get a cat that matches his description they can let us know! Anyway... today is a sad day :(

Don't mess with old people!

Another little something from my mom :D

Catie's Baby Shower

I had the chance to go to my friend Catie Pilkington's baby shower tonight and I had a blast. I have to honestly say that I really enjoyed myself and really liked all of Catie's friends! I do not really have any married, LDS, friend's with kids out here in UT and it was really nice to be able to talk to people that I had things in common with and feel at ease with them! All of her friend's were really down to earth and friendly people. I know that might sound silly, but sometimes I just feel like people out here are NUTS! I really miss having my friends around and it was so enjoyable to be around other adult women and just enjoy their company. I was saying to Dan yesterday that it is strange to think that the person that I talk to most to in the day can not even speak. I can understand how women can go nuts staying home with their kids. I crave adult interaction. I think that now that I have had Nate that I will have to put more of an emphasis on making friends and making time to go out with them. I just wish that I could feel like Dan and I were where we are going to stay put for awhile because I almost hate to invest the time into getting to know people and then leaving, silly, I know! Anyway... I LOVE CATIE'S FRIENDS :D While at the baby shower I realized a few other things. One of which is how lucky I have been with breastfeeding! The other women were talking about how painful breastfeeding was for them and how their nipples cracked and bleed and they needed special creams or tea bags for them. AGH! I have had literally NO pain with breastfeeding, ever. No cracking, no bleeding, no creams, no ointments, no chaffing, no tea bags, no frozen peas... just a baby that likes to eat! I did get engorged when my milk came in, but it was not painful, it was just plain insane how big my boobs got! I mean, one boob is already bigger than Nate's little head, and when engorged they were like watermelons. TMI, I know! Anywho. I am exhausted from a long day, but I just HAD to blog (I don't know why) and say what a wonderful time I had tonight!

Bubbles

My mommy, sister Autumn and me blowing bubbles! My mom loves this picture and sent it to me today. I look scary... they are cute :D This picture was taken during the summer of '06 at the aquarium in Salt Lake City while we were out here in UT for a family reunion! Note: I did not live in SLC yet because I was not married to Dan (for those of you who did not know when we got married)!

Pictures of our sweet sweet boy

All clean after a bath :D
AHHHH!!! My Mommy and Daddy are scary!
I am such a happy baby :D
This is how I sleep :D
On Father's Day :D

SO HAPPY!!!

Nate just made my day! Actually, he really just made me the happiest person in the world! I laid him down beside me and he looked up at me and looked me in the eyes and smiled at me :D This is the first time that he has smiled at me on purpose! Oh, I am so in love with my little boy!

My Dearest Mother

I have always admired my mother and yet I feel like I have ever really been able to completely express this. I am not really sure what brings this all up, but alas I write. Perhaps if nothing else, this will give you insight of what it is like to be inside my head at 3 am when I am trying to go to bed! Like I was saying, I have always admired my mom. This admiration has gotten stronger over the past few years as I have watched her go through her divorce from my dad and care for me and my sister. Mom has always been an incredible strength and support in my life. On more than one occasion when I felt like there was no one who did support me I would be reminded of my mother's unconditional support and love. I never could fully understand how she could continue to love and support me, when for a long time, I did not love me. Oh, such is a mother's love. I know that despite some of my crazy (and down right stupid) decisions that she could not support, that she did support me! It is sometimes hard to see as a teenage (and young adult for that matter) the difference between someone supporting what you are doing and someone supporting you and I am sure that I made my mom's life a living hell at times (sorry Mom) by confusing these two actions! I am so thankful for her continual support! My mom is such a loving, understanding, compassionate, caring, creative, hard-working, strong women! I have never known another women like my mommy! As a new mother I think that I am looking at my mom in a different light. I am so thankful for all that she did for me and our family and for all that she has taught me over the years! Without my mom I know that I would not be able to be the mother that I am. I hope to be as good of a mom as my mother is to me. I hope that one day my children will be able to look up to me not only as their mother, but as their friend, like my mom is to me!

1 Point Me

Well... so you know how I said that I was not crafty enough to make my own paci attacher thing-a-ma-bobers... apparently I am! It took me a day and a half to figure out exactly the best way for me to make them... but by golly I've got it. It is actually going to be amazingly simple (yeah, that means I have yet to do it)! I went to a store called Sassy Baby today to buy a Peanut Shell Sling (agh... the money) and they had paci attachers just like the ones that I will be making. Which gave me my last idea of how to make them work! Mwahahaha... I am going to beat the man (you know, the man... big brother, 1984...)! 1 point me, 0 the man. Well, not exactly... it is more like 1 me, 1 the man, cause I gave in and bought my sling. My $50 sling! I got sick of having to actually CARRY Nate, not sick, my arms just got tired and I got tired of not being able to do anything because he refuses to let me put him down for more than 5 minutes at a time.

So I went out and bought the sling. I was going to buy it from Target, where it was $44, but the Target by us does not carry them. So I looked up online where I could buy them and it listed Sassy Baby in Bountiful! SCORE! I figured that it would be better to go there anyway to buy it because they would be able to help me figure out what size was best and show me how to wear it. I figured that if it was more than $50 there than I would come home and order it online or drive out to the other Target. I really hate to pay that much for something like this, but I figured that I was not going to save any money buy going to Target because of the gas money and I might as well by it from Sassy Baby based on their highly impressive customer service. You can always win me over with a little TLC! So you maybe asking, any regrets buying a $50 sling... HECK NO (then again, Dan is not home yet to fuss at me for buying it), but Nate likes being in the sling because he is with me all the time and I LOVE the freedom that it offers me!

A Classic Stephanie-jean Rant

In response to yesterdays blog comments... Charity, I know Nate could be far worse with the sleeping! Dan has a co-worker who had a baby girl the same day that we had Nate and he said that his little girl does not sleep at all 3 nights a week... YUCK! With that said... Nate does wake us up at 4 am. His schedule goes something like this...eat at 12, eat at 4, wake up at 6. Last night was interesting though... he was awake all day and then stayed up till 1:30 or so and then did not wake up to eat until 6:30... I was highly impressed I must say! When he woke up at 6:30 though, I could hardly walk to come and get him... I have insomnia and could not fall asleep until 5:30 last night, agh. At one point I got up to go to the bathroom and nearly collapsed I was so tired. Hate it when that happens.
Next topic... SOOTHIES! Yes, those silly looking pacifiers that hospitals give our babies and then our babies REFUSE to use any other type of paci. Thanks! Well, I must say that in general I do not mind the Soothies... if they make Nate happy, then they make me happy. However, it is annoying that I, of course, keep losing the things! So, I decided that I MUST attach Nate's paci to him! Problem! Normal pacifier clips do not work with Soothies. So, I went to Wal-mart (spawn of Satan I know... Target was closed) last night to go and buy the special Soothie Attacher... well, of course Wal-mart does not have them! Wal-mart always has everything I don't need (and still buy) and nothing I need (Gripe Water, Paci holder)... random, I know. Anyway... I was going to buy another type of paci that I think Nate will take since it is shaped for similarly to the Soothie's nipple, but decided why waste $5 on something that he may or may not take. So, my plan was to go get the Soothie Attacher from Target today (may still do so), but after looking at it more closely... I did not think that I like it because the part that you attach to the binky itself is HUGE and looks highly uncomfortable to have in your face.
The Penguin or the flower part of the clip is what actually attaches to the paci and is sticking in the infants face... nice! So then I get to thinking... I know, a miracle. I have two paci attacher thingers, one of which I know will not work with the Soothie... the other one WILL! So I get it out and attach it to the Soothie (it is a Duck with a ribbon with Velcro at the end so I can loop it through the Soothies hole)... SWEET it works. Now the only problem is that the duck looks INSANELY HUGE sitting on Nate's chest. So, I may end up going to Target when Dan gets home to look for more paci attachers that use the ribbon and velcro method. I saw on e-bay a women who was making and selling paci holders using ribbon and clips that clip onto the Soothie's little handle thing. I was thinking that I could make my own as well (may try it, who knows) but instead of the clip, just using Velcro. The only problem with the Velcro/ribbon method is that you have to make sure that your ribbon is narrow enough to fit through the hole (I had to fold the current one in half to make it fit, but it worked)! I am not the craftiest person (especially considering I live in UT and am surrounded by uber-molly-Mormon's who can craft anything), but I may give it a go before I call it a day and spend umpteen dollars on paci holders! Or perhaps I shall hire someone to craft them for me (HA... that would be worth the money)! Oh... might I add that the women who was selling them on E-bay was from Lehi... see what I mean... uber-molly-Mormon crafters. Thanks for the idea Molly!

Happy Father's Day

First things first, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAN! OK, I know that it is a day late, but hey, I was busy yesterday! Thank you Dan for being such a great father to Nate and such a wonderful husband and best friend to me. You are all I could have ever dreamed of! I love you!

OK now... I know, I know, I changed the blog again! I just got sick of the other one because it felt too dark to me. I wanted something that felt more lively to me... I dunno what is wrong with me. Perhaps it is that everything changes around here so much every day that I feel the need to reflect this in our blog as well, that or I am just hormonal :D

Nate is changing so much! He is much more active and alert these days! Having said that, I AM EXHAUSTED. Him being awake means, of course, that I have to be awake. At least before he would sleep for 2 hours, get up to eat and go back to sleep... and therefore, I could too! I do love having him be awake more though... he is such a happy baby (usually)! For some reason, which I cannot explain, Nate has decided that 6:30 am is the perfect time to woke up for the day! I have decided that some how Nate was switched at birth with another baby (NOT possible) and that he is not our biological child because anyone who knows Dan and I well enough KNOWS that we DO NOT wake up at 6:30 am! Dan told Nate this morning that we were not morning people... I do not think that Nate particularly cares all that much though! I feel bad because I am SO not a morning person that it takes an insane amount of effort for me to even speak in the morning and I want to tell Nate good morning and I love you when I wake up, but oh my gosh... words rarely flow from my mouth before Dan leaves for work at 9 am and even then it is just I love you, drive safe! I am thinking that I may have to plot to change Nate's schedule... but this is risky business! Nate is growing so much! It is funny, people still comment on how small he is, but to us, he is getting big! He fits in his 0-3 month clothes now (granted they are a little big... but they should be)! Last time we weighed him he was at 9.4 pounds! He seems to be right on track... we have a pediatrician appointment at the end of next week... so I will know for sure then!

OK, this next picture is for Catie. Catie posted a picture of her pregnant belly at 33 weeks not too long ago. This is a picture of me at my baby shower in NC, I am 31 weeks. Ha! Yes Catie you are right, you should lighten up, things could be worse, you could look like I did! Not saying that I looked bad or anything (I actually think that I am a cute pregnant women), but just saying that you are not that big at all!
Well, I better be off now... Nate has a poopy (oh joy)! Speaking of which... Nate does not poop very often... like once a day at most, usually every other day. I have been worried about it sort of, but he seems to be doing fine, gaining weight like he should and what not.

My hair

My hair down!

With Nater Tot!This is the first time I spiked it, I need practice!

Put a Bow In It!

Well, despite what I told myself, I went off and did the typical new mom thing and cut my hair. I do not fully understand the psychological need that a new mother feels to cut her hair, but hey! Of course, we all know me and I could not just do the "normal" thing and get a really cute bob or something and I went off and got my hair cut into a mohawk. Now... you will have to wait and see the pictures before you tell me that I am completely insane. I have yet to actually style it into a mohawk, but it is really cute down. Have no fair, I did not go off and shave the sides like you would if I was a dude, but none the less, it is a mohawk. Now... I do have to tell you about some of the thoughts and conversations that occurred during such stated hair cut. I will have you note that my cousin Alika was the one who cut my hair (she is in beauty school) and she was cutting my hair in the kitchen at 11 pm. Dan shaved his hair off right before I got my hair cut and we (Alika and I) conspired to cut his hair into a mohawk so that I could see him with a mohawk, I don't know why, but I really wanted to see him with a mohawk and he would not agree to it. After Dan's hair cut I told Alika that I wanted her to cut my hair into a mohawk, she told me that she could do that, but apparently she thought that I was joking. Then I asked her if she would do it for me tonight and she was like, "What? Your serious?". As I sat down and she got ready to cut she asked me if I was sure that I wanted to do this and I said yes, that it was just hair after all... this has pretty much always been my motto with my hair... it grows back and if I hate it... I can have it cut again! As I was sitting there, having my hair cut, I laughed and Alika asked what I was chuckling about, the conversation went like this...

Alika, "What are you chuckling at?"
Me, "I had not thought about how I was going to wear my hair to church!"
Alika, "In a mohawk!"
Me, "Alika, I am Mormon."
Alika, "So, put a bow in it!"

Alika and I were then talking about what the family was going to think. I told her that if it turned out really bad that I would just blame her and tell everyone that I asked her to cut my hair and told her to cut it however she wanted to and that she cut it into a mohawk. We decided that Carol was going to think that I was nuts. A few minutes later Carol walks into the kitchen to feed the fish and get a glass of milk.

Alika, "Oh crap, it is Carol."
Me, "I can see her in the window"
Carol, "Holy crap" (referring to the hair on the floor) "Wow, that is short, but it will be cute"
Carol walks away from me and starts to feed the fish
Me, "She is cutting it into a mohawk."
Carol, "No she's not"
Me, "Yes she is"
Alika, "She told me that I could do whatever I wanted to."
Some other things were said, which I cannot remember. But I ended up telling Carol that she "could go to bed thinking that she wasn't cutting it into a mohawk". Carol said as she went to bed that next I was going to dye it blue, I told her that I wasn't going to dye it blue, just pink!

As Alika was cutting my hair and I was looking in the hand held mirror I said that you only live once. Alika agreed. To which I said, "I should have done this when I was 20, not 25 and a new mother."

I said that Nate is going to be looking through his baby pictures one day and be like, "What the heck, you had a mohawk when I was a baby". Alika said that she thought that Nate would think that I was the coolest mom ever because of it... I said that he would think that I was nuts!

Oh... I will also have you note... because I know my mom is thinking, "poor Dan"... I asked Dan about 5 times before cutting it if he was really OK with me cutting it like this. He said yes, otherwise I would never have done it. Actually... the way that it came up to begin with is last night Dan and I went to Wal-mart and there was a cashier there that had a really cute mohawk. As we were leaving Dan asked me if I saw the girl with the mohawk and I said that I did and that I thought it was really cute. He said that he actually thought it was really cute too. That is when I said that I thought that I would like to cut my hair like that. One thing lead to another and BAM... I have a mohawk. I will post pictures of my hair soon... I have to play around with it a little and take some pictures!

In other news... Dan got me a camera for my birthday! My birthday is not until the 2nd, but he went ahead and bought it for me since he found a GREAT deal on a GREAT camera! So, now I have a really nice camera to take ALL KINDS of cute pictures of my cute little man! I plan on dressing Nate up in all of my favorite outfits over the next week and taking pictures of him in them and then posting them on here! I also get to take pictures of my funky hair! Dan and I have been planning for some time to buy a good camera so that we could better document Nate's life and our life. I decided that the best way to go about spending that kind of money was to just go ahead and get it as a birthday gift. Dan did a great job on finding such a nice camera for such a great deal! I am all about finding great deals these days (which reminds me... I have to share the great deals that we found at Kid-to-Kid while Mom was here later)! I do not know if it is just that I am so poor that I love finding stuff at a good price or if it is my inner deal finder coming out! I have been raised by a bunch of thrifty women who can always find great deals and I think that it has finally worn off on me now that I am a mom and I LOVE to find great deals, it makes my insides feel all warm :D Anyway... Thank you to Dan for the wonderful birthday present! I look forward to using it for many years to come and getting to document all the amazing adventures that I am sure that we will be taking over the years! I love you baby!

Hello from Nate

I look like poo in this video, but the video is not about me... so, whatever you do, do not look at me!

6 weeks

I do not know why he looks scared! The camera has a delay on it and shines a bright light in his eyes before flashing... perhaps that is why!
Wiggling around some :D Typical Nate!

I'm such a cute and happy baby! How could you not love me!

Oh the places I have been

Thought that I would share some of the pictures that my Aunt Carol has taken of Nate. Carol enjoys putting Nate in odd places and calling it "art"! Hope you enjoy!

Nate is a "center piece"

Nate with Dan's birthday cake/Mother's day cake!

On a giant leaf in the living room!
And the best yet... Nate in a Mountain Dew box. Carol says that she also has a picture of him sitting in a diaper bag. Nate does not mind posing for all of the interesting pictures, lucky for Carol!

Everything and Nothing

Well, you know me... blog about everything and nothing all at the same time. At least I warned you this time! So, Dan and I went to the Walgreen's yesterday to buy Nate some Gripe Water (since I have heard that it is practically miracle water in a bottle) since Nate has been having some tummy trouble (which is a whole other story all in it's own)! I was expecting to pay about $5 at most for it... I was WRONG! The dang stuff is $10.99 a bottle... for 4 ounces! OH COME ON! Let me tell you what, the people who make baby stuff sure are in the right market. For instance... diapers... $25 for a box of diapers... INSANE, but you buy them none the less, because come on... what are your options! I mean, you could of course use cloth diapers... but let me think about that... I DO NOT OWN A WASHER and who wants to keep poopy diapers around for a week to take them to the laundry mat were other people wash their clothes? Any takers? Nope, didn't think so! Or how about the $30 sleep positioner that we bought because Nate refused to sleep in his crib. Now, don't get me wrong... it is nice memory foam, has an incline, and plays a little heart beat... but $30 for something that does not even work that well. Well, it works, but one of the side pieces is on Velcro so that it can adjust to the child, problem is... it adjust itself. However, I bought it... out of desperation really. Nothing else was working and BAM $30 gone on a sleep positioner (note: we bought a sleep position for $3 at Kid-to-Kid before Nate was born which actually functioned as a sleep position... but we some how misplaced it a few weeks before Nate was born... smooth, I know)! Anyway... back to the point that I was GOING to make (Gripe Water... stay on track here)! So, we get up to the cash register and the lady checking us out says, "Oh, I hear this stuff works wonders" (I am relieved to hear this yet again) then she continues on... "I had a lady come in here earlier today and buy 12 bottles". 12 BOTTLES... Let me spell this out for you... 12 B-O-T-T-L-E-S of GRIPE WATER!!! That is $131.88 plus tax in Gripe Water!!! It better work miracles. The cashier then tells me that the INSANE women buying $132 worth of Gripe Water said that her baby has an intolerance to gluten and that the Gripe Water helps to relieve the pain. Well, me being me has to wonder... WHY NOT STOP FEEDING THE KID GLUTEN! Now, Dan tried to rationalize with me (HA) that it is not easy to just stop feeding the kid gluten. Although, to that I have an answer... the kid's intolerance has a name... it is called Celiac Disease. My cousin has it and I have a friend who has it... it is not pleasant at all. That poor kid is probably being tortured by eating Gluten... oh well... nothing I can do about but wonder... 12 BOTTLES?

On another note... we just wanted to say...
~ Congrats to Dave and Catie Pilkington on their one year anniversary yesterday! We have had a blast getting to know you guys over the past year! ~
~ Congrats to Tom and Julie Cutts on the birth of their baby girl Eden Jane Cutts yesterday! Enjoy your little ball of joy! ~
~ Happy 25th Birthday to Heather Pilgrim! We are getting old... well, compared to the 14 year old girls that we were when we met! ~

New and Improved

Be impressed be very impressed! I know you are... as am I! Dan showed my how to work with the coding in order to set up the blog the way I wanted to and BAM... we have an awesome blog! OK, I was just posting to toot my own horn!
