It's hard to imagine it's almost been 11 weeks since she was born. Oh, don't worry, her hair still has that great poof! Right now she's batting her snail that hangs off the bouncy-seat. Definitely good stuff. It's great seeing the concentration on her face while she tries to do something. There are still times where the arms look like they are flailing about, but more and more purposeful motions are seen every day. Every day my wife and I look at each other and exclaim how amazing she is. In other news, it's been a busy couple of weeks, but we're looking forward to settling in to a nice fall schedule. Sounds crazy to think that it's fall already. We've had the chance to meet up with some great friends, some aunts and uncles, grandparents, and extended family. It's been nice and the little lady is enjoying meeting everyone! We're enjoying a lazy Saturday (well, as lazy as you could expect with a 10 week old). Did you know that This Old House is NOT on at 7:30am!!! Oh well. We're hoping to plan some weekend trips in the near future and we're really looking forward to Halloween! Yay costume shopping! Well, I'm going to rest my eyelids for a few. Hope all are doing well!... http://www.threedown.com admin@threedown.com(Matt Stoffel) Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:00:00 EST Those of you who know me may remember that I'm a bit of a typography nut. I saw Helvetica last year and loved the background and perspectives that so many great artists had. It's truly amazing to think about something that's so taken for granted and realize the craftsmanship that went into it. Well, I stumbled upon another movie that looks really cool. Typeface dives into an old wood type factory that's trying to hang on to its identity, event after the factory closed its doors. Looks really interesting. ... http://www.threedown.com admin@threedown.com(Matt Stoffel) Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:00:00 EST Friends of ours gave us these really cute socks that look like Mary Janes so Meg put them on Everleigh yesterday. They are SOOO freakin cute! I've got some pictures of them and I'll get them online soon! In other news, we finally got air conditioning! Holy crap what a difference! It's not so much the cold air, but the fact that it cuts the humidity right out. No more sleeping in the living room! Only down side was the unexpected need for a new furnace. That was not cool and I blame who ever put the original furnace into the house. It was way too big for the square footage and most likely cause it to fail early. Anyway, it's all set up now and we're loving it!... http://www.threedown.com admin@threedown.com(Matt Stoffel) Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:00:00 EST The little french fried onion bits? You know! They are simply amazing and take just about anything from bland to boom! In actual news, the little lady is 5 weeks old today. In true digital age fashion, I have yet to print a single picture of the over 500 I have taken. Must get better at this!!! I think I'll try and get some done this weekend. She's sleeping in the crib overnight tonight. I must say, I'm a bit anxious about it. I'm sure everything will be fine, but man, this whole 'being responsible for another human being' thing is pretty intense! Anyway, hope all is well with everyone. Up early for work tomorrow... booo! Talk to you soon!... http://www.threedown.com admin@threedown.com(Matt Stoffel) Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EST So it's officially been a month since she's joined the family. That in and of itself is incredible to think about. We're taking weekly pictures so that we can document her crazy growth, and also to capture those really cute outfits like said cowgirl with socks that have little boots printed on them. We had our first vaccination this week. That wasn't fun, but she took it like a champ and calmed down relatively quickly. In fact, she fell asleep for a good while after getting it. That may not sound special, but she's definitely a morning person! She's quasi asleep as I rock her in her bouncy seat right now. Dreaming about who knows what. I wish I did know. Like, does she just envision endless feedings or something? Maybe someday she'll tell us! I'm sure that day will come before we know it too! Anyway, stay glued to the site for more photo updates and fun goings-ons from the little lady.... http://www.threedown.com admin@threedown.com(Matt Stoffel) Thu, 22 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EST
