here's to the next 30 years..

lots of gravy

look at this little biscuit, he's so cute. i can't believe his birthday is coming up, i guess he probably doesn't know. on my first birthday, i grabbed the flame of my birthday candle and freaked out.

good bye, old paint

the v dub sold today, i am happy but my days of zipping around town are over. i am now in the era of the turbo lag. it is likely she will be the only car that i own for the next 80 years if it is true that mercedes diesel engines can run for 1million miles. here's to hoping i live until i'm 112. maybe maggie will want to drive it.

men at kraftwerk

carpet pulled up and floors refinished..they will be sealed and the trim re-painted later in the week..my official stance is "no" on new home projects.

doppelganger

yd said yesterday that when jeremy's hair is grown out, he looks just like matthew goode in the movie leap year.
and i can see the resemblance. this is us after jeremy says something mean to me.
this is us talking about fashion.
this is right before he admits that i'm right about something.
while we're on the topic, the swartz fam thinks that jeremy looks like burt reynolds in deliverance.

like twins.
jk, here he is..

i'm the motherflippin'

the garage/workshop is complete (we couldn't get the door in black, isn't that the weirdest? the closest they offered was "bronze", which i am forced to assume that they have more requests for than black??). we might paint, but really, it's just a garage door.
inside
jse has been out of town this week working cows and this one hasn't quite known what to do with her peeps away. chasing squirrels is so much more fun in a pack. she's reverted back to her >36 in circumference around me. little needy.

week ending in 26

a few notes from week 26.

1. the talk of the town this week (4 people) is what eye color our little love will have. using a eye color calculator i found online, eme has an 86.3% chance of having brown eyes, an 8.5% chance of having green eyes and a 5.1% chance of having blue eyes. here is a link to the calculator if you want to try it!

2. my dad told me that at 7am on saturday, god gave him the korean name for sweet girl: eun hae, which translates to the grace from god.

3. my spatial reasoning skills have not started to recalibrate with my increase in girth and mass. i still believe i can fit through spaces that i could pre-pregnancy. this has resulted in a lot of forward-reverse-forward and forward-reverse-around motions.

4. my belly button has almost disappeared. if it was my nostril, i would be very close to the point of suffocation.

and since i feel pressure to have pictures included with every post:

here is amy at george's (the big o does not belong to me)
and winnie peeing in the snow

i like to rock the party

evan lane - unibrow fuzz, tiny nose, cheeky grin all still intact. today he sort of looked like he was wearing lip gloss.

a bow tie and a skittish dog

message in a tiny bottle

while digging, jeremy found this bottle and proclaimed it the smallest bottle ever.
look at its size compared to my phone.
even claire, who is not taller than anything, dwarfs it.
this tiny bottle could not hold even one vitamin.
i would likely step on a bottle this size, hopefully it didn't used to carry a magical elixir.
all in all, my empirical testing tells me that it is indeed a very tiny bottle. if you told me that you had one smaller, i would have to see it to believe it.

part 3 or 4, maybe 3.5

new fence and wall up this week, lots of digging, some painting..only wiring, dry wall and a door left to install!
