Plays & Roses

Aubree was in a play at school last week, Jack & the Beanstalk.

She was one of the 10 moms. She had one short line and Ryan & I felt her dramatic talents were not put to their best use.

She had fun though and made some new friends.

She is on the top row, 2nd from left, or the tallest one, whichever's easiest to find.

Here she is doing her 7 word part.

My poor little rose tree has been hanging on for about 8 years now, after being blown over several times and moved from the back yard to the front yard.

This last winter we had horrible winds and the poor thing cracked and was laying on it's side. I tried not to cry and we bungee'd it to the tree, propped it with some wood, duct taped the trunk and hoped for the best.

Lo and behold, my first bloom of the spring!

My Grandma would be proud!

23 Weeks

In approximately 23 weeks we are looking forward to welcoming the newest addition to the Miller Family!

I will apologize now for the poor quality of the ultrasound pictures, I could not get the blog to load the scanned pictures, so I had to take a picture with my camera. So, they aren't the best.

We found out yesterday that we (I) will have the pleasure of buying all the darling girl clothes again! Bows and bracelets!! :)

Here she is giving the customary Miller salute.

She kept trying to get away from the ultrasound wand, the tech had to chase her around to get a look. Here she is turning her back as the tech was trying to look at her heart. The tech mentioned several times she was one of the most "active" babies she had seen.

I'm hoping that's code for she will be a very calm and quiet baby. :)

The Great Escape

Stanley the office turtle loves to jump from his tank (about 4 ft high) to the floor where he can walk around the office and almost get stepped on.

He just pulls in all his body parts and crashes to the floor.

We leave his lid off during the day, and I happened to catch him in the act the other day.
Here he is tettering on the edge of the tank right before his leap to freedom.

What big eyes you have

Just a funny picture of Karson.
