I was nearly done my post when I hit the wrong key and poof, it was gone, argh. Today the big box o' goodies arrived. Inside was a valentines gift for Ariel and Ken's birthday present. Ariel is here modeling her new hat, made especially by Grammy Liz. Its too cute for words! She also got a really sweet V-day outfit of skirt, shirt and sweater. She will be styling for sure on the 14th, which of course is her big 6 month b-day. Yay. Ken got a cool iblaster (speakers your ipod plug into), some books to read Ariel and a killer rabbit puppet from the Spamalot show. Too cool!
Monday we celebrated Ken's birthday with a dinner made by me, with all items that he requested, including ribs, potatoes, mushroom caps, wine and cake for dessert. Yum. Ariel looks kinda cheated when she saw all she was getting was her cereal. Poor girl. We did introduce her to Mr Bacon, not sure what she thought of that either.
Tuesday brought our car home. Yay, and a lovely surprise of it being cheaper than originally thought when it turned out to be a different sensor that was not working. I like those surprises. I also was surprised to see someone working there that I use to go to school with. Nice to see him, and had to laugh because in the yearbook it said, most likely never to leave auto shop (or something along those lines) and needless to say, he is still there. Heh. He is happily married and loved Ariel's cow shirt. Very appropriate for our farming town.Managed to get to Bible study with Ken for a change. Ariel had a late nap so she was very happy to entertain everyone. She had a good time with Hans and Anna's feet. Stella made a cake for Ken and we all sang. Twas really nice. I miss getting there, but Ariel isn't always in the best mood in the evening. Blah.
Today had us helping out at the comfort quilters. Stella was going up and invited us to tag along. So we finished up one of the preemie quilts, the one on the left. Ariel was happy to play and talk to everyone there. We came home at noon, and she had a good nap.Tonight poor Ken didn't get home till 8pm, there must have been an accident. Practically 3 hours in traffic, not cool. We watched Idol and he assembled his iblaster. Then we tucked in Ariel for bed. She is wearing an actual sleeper tonight!!! Those who know our daughter well, know she refused to wear them for the longest time. She would kick until her feet were out and bend causing her to scream. On a whim (more so hoping since we have oodies of cute sleepers in the closet) we tired it again. So far, so good. No wild kicking. Will give the update how the night goes tomorrow, cross your fingers everyone.

hehe, did you know your little girl is doing yoga poses?
I keep forgetting to ask David to help me adjust the settings on our computer screen. I can read the titles and your posts quite well now, but the links are all still really faint. Is there a simple way for me to adjust the contrast? (Obviously my computer skills are highly dependent on my husband)
Love the new banner.. You both look beautiful!
I concur with Katrina's comment on comments, they're faint for me too.
Just thought I'd let you know that I keep thinking about you and how you ever survived going to 42 weeks! You're a superwoman!!
Hey thanks, now I can read it better!
Hey girls, well I have gotten rid of most of the pink and updated all the old grey to a darker grey. Should make everyone's lives a bit easier.... did I miss anything that is still hard to read. Computers are so funny, I remember working on a machine, created this great design, when it returned from the printers, the color was all wacked. Its amazing how our screens can make things difficult. THus, I won't try and win, but more so surrender. Heheh.
THanks Megan, actually, the heat is what was the worse. Record setting heat was not fun. My feet were HUGE!!! I was so cheesed when my brother said 2 weeks late as a guess, but he also said a 10 pounder, ACK. Hang in there, can't wait to check your blog one day to see your new baby. :)
The only things that are still a bit faint are the titles "blogs" "previous entries" and "archives", but it is still possible to read them and I don't think it really matters how well these stand out. But the other changes do make a big difference, so thanks!
WOW!! That dinner is amazing! I'm glad my husband doesn't know people can actually cook like that outside of restraunts or he might not be happy with his macaroni and cheese! ;) I agree about your new banner...beautiful.
