Milo has developed an affinity for Little Einsteins. If you haven't seen the show, well, it's riveting. He laughs and squeals when it comes on. We even have it set up to record in our DVR - that's serious. It's right up there with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Survivor now.

I had to go to Kansas City for a week... It was very sad... I had never left Milo for more than a few hours and now I was expected to attend some dumb old corporate conference and leave everyone for 5 days. It was awful... I cried... a lot.
*****
But at least Matt and Cady wrote me lots of letters and hid them in my suitcase! This made me happy!
*****
But then it was unbelievably friggin' cold and that made me sad again... It snowed and snowed and even got down to zero one day while I was there! This was the last day I was there... I don't have a screenshot of the 5 days before this!
*****
I did get to eat some yummy food when I was in KC. I ate out A LOT (every meal...) and charged all that expensive ass food to my corporate card so that made me feel a little better!
*****
When I came home Cady was thrilled to see me... haha!
*****
That weekend was Super Bowl weekend and we decided to have some friends over. Because Syd smelled like old garbage with rotten fish breath, we decided to give her a spa day... at home. She doesn't look happy "during" the bath but as you can see she was quite smiley afterwards!
*****
Our friends Vanessa and Woody watched the Super Bowl with us. They hadn't seen Milo since he was a couple of months old! They were also one of his first visitors at the hospital when he was born so I needed to make sure I got a pic.
*****
Hmm, what else? Milo got a new ball...
He can do mad tricks with it... the kid has skills, just saying.
*****
He also got a new book... he can read it all, I promise.
*****
And he also got some new bath toys. Wait, I'm starting to sense a pattern... Is he spoiled?
No way a face that sweet could ever be spoiled! ;o)
*****
Last weekend we headed out to the Sci-Fi Expo. It was an amazing display of freaks and geeks - and just plain weirdos!
Milo may or may not have gotten this new inflatable Spider-Man... ok, he's totally spoiled!
Best Part? Cady and I got to see a real Dalek! And boo on you if you don't know what a Dalek is. You can't be in our Doctor Who club.
*****
This boy turned 8 months (not pictured... I turned 38 - wth?!) He is the cutest Mardi Gras partier everrr.
*****
And Cady played her final b-ball game of the season. She did great and really enjoyed it but I'm happy she won't be quite as busy anymore!
That's my girl shootin' a free throw. I'm still working on beating her and Matt at H.O.R.S.E P.I.G. (Horse takes fooooooorrrreeeeevvvveeerrrrr - we have resorted to playing PIG)
P.S. Lent has officially started and we have decided as a family to sit at the table and eat together more often. We eat together nearly every night but it's generally in the living room while watching whatever is in the DVR. Our goal is to sit down to dinner at least twice a week - no technology. It'll be fun, way easier than giving up whiskey and Dr. Pepper like I did that one year; THAT was brutal.
P.S.S. Today is Valentines Day. I'm going to call it a success because I not only ate the chocolate that I had purchased for Matt and Cady, I'm also in the process of eating the chocolate that Matt gave me.
P.S.S.S. Matt and I have started training for a triathlon. We actually get up at 5AM and work out on some days. It's tough but we are working hard. Therefore, I'm going to try and eat less chocolate.
