I got home at about 9 that night and my flowers were frozen and droopy. I was so bummed! Luke emailed Pro Flowers and told them what had happened, and they re-sent the order. Now there is a huge bunch of lilies in my living room making me smile every time I walk in. I took this picture last weekend, and they are even prettier now because they're all open and beautiful.

- Have you been watching Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show? Luke and I have been enjoying it so much! We DVR it every night, and then watch it the next afternoon or evening when we both get home. We're obviously too old to stay up late enough to watch it live. Anyway, we pretty much laugh through the entire show.
- I've finally gotten brave, and I've been using my camera in manual mode lately. It is really fun to experiment, and not nearly as complicated as I would have thought. I wish I had more time to experiment, and I can't wait until it's warm enough to take more pictures outside, but for now it's fun to experiment during free time on the weekends. I have been trying to take comparisons between automatic and manual modes. There's a big difference, and I think I should have figured out what this thing could do earlier!
- Luke and I are having a date night tonight! Having a baby changes a marriage so much. It is awesome to see your spouse become a parent, and you basically fall in love with them all over again. But then real life and major stress sets in, and things become difficult. At least for me, it is hard not to take my frustration out on Luke and snap at him. I will probably write a whole post on this at some point, but the nutshell version is: it is so important to give each other the benefit of the doubt, be patient with one another, and forgive each other. One of my favorite quotes is, "A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers." It's also important to take time out together. I am excited spend some quality time with Luke tonight.
- I have to say, I think 7 months is my favorite age so far. Scarlett just keeps us constantly laughing. She loves to sing and dance! It's so funny. She rocks back and forth while she yells "ahhh." She also just has so much more of a personality now. And we seem to be coming more and more out of her whiny stage. And to be completely honest, I'm trying to enjoy the fact that she's not mobile yet! Ha! I know our days are limited, because the past few days she's been trying to push herself up on her knees when she's on her stomach, and I know she's going to be creeping and then crawling before too long! She also can push herself backwards on her stomach. I guess we better do some baby-proofing!
Happy Friday!
Oh, how I love that picture!! I was just rocking her yesterday thinking that soon she won't want to be held near as much when she knows she can move around on her own. So, of course, I didn't lay her in the crib ;-)
ReplyDeleteI spent a large chunk of time last night youtubing clips of Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show. He is so hysterical!
ReplyDeleteThe last year or so I've been using my camera mainly in manual mode. Once you get the settings right, the pictures turn out SO much better. I still have a lot of learning to do!
