Hide-And-Seek

Lately, I feel like my life is an endless game of hide-and-seek.  No, I don't have some enlightening analogy to share.  Take a look for yourself.


Watching TV from inside a hamper.


Asleep in a box.


In a couch fort with Nelly.  The cushions in the foreground are walls/doors.


In the "bedroom" of the couch fort.  Nelly was not thrilled with this. 


And I saved the best for last.  Damian cleared out the bottom shelf of our pantry and made it into his "bed".  He has done this repeatedly since this photo.  It's not quite as cute after you've had to put the cereal back where it goes a billion times.


Oh, I just noticed his blanket in that last picture.  :-(  We lost it while shopping at the mall last week.  We called the places we went and left our phone number, but it hit me this morning that it looks like we're not getting it back.  I think Damian has adjusted to the loss pretty well, but I'm heartbroken!  We lost his favorite blanket!  Is it weird that I'm this upset?  It's probably because I still remember the day my mom threw away my baby blanket.  Childhood issues.  Well, hopefully the blanket is also playing hide-and-seek and it will be found soon!  I won't hold my breath though.  :-(

Oh Yeah! I Have A Blog! AND! A Baby!

So, it's been awhile.  Again.  Hey, at least I keep coming back!  And I'm actually planning on retro-blogging again.  There will probably be a lot of that.  But for now, I just wanted to introduce our baby!  Penelope Jane McFadden was born on November 19th, 2011.  I plan to do one of my retro-blog posts about the day she was born, but I thought it might be important to... well... show her off a little bit.  :-)  So here she is!  Baby Nelly!

Birth Day


Two Weeks Old
(In her blessing dress - more to come on that too)

Four Weeks Old
(Can you tell I love this hat?)

Six Weeks Old

Today!  Eight Weeks Old!
(And the smile is very typical of this happy baby!  We LOVE her!)
