Swimming-Take Two

The weather was finally nice enough this past weekend to take Hannah in the pool.  

She had a blast... again.  This kid LOVES the water!

Cutie Patootie!

It Won't Be Like This For Long

Good song! (make sure you pause the music I have playing on my blog down at the bottom!)

*wipes a tear*

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says, 
"It's gonna be okay"

"It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Four years later, 'bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now, don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two"

"It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil, 
But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
'Cause he already knows

It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long

I want to get one!

I found this site the other day:

rockimals.com

They sell stuffed rocking animals.

They are so cute.  I want to get one for Hannah!  :oP

Congratulations!

I just want to send a big congratulations out to Tanja and Angelo, who got married today!  :o)  

Tanja is my dear friend and pen pal of... geez... 14 or 15 years. We started writing to each other when I was in 7th grade.  And here we are... both married and soon to both have kids.  (Tanja is due right around Hannah's birthday with a little girl, Alessia.)

Tanja lives in Germany.  I have never been to Germany and I was really hoping we would be able to go over there for her wedding, but unfortunately we were not able to make it.  :o(  

It has been almost 10 years since we have seen each other.  I hope we are able to visit one another more sooner than later!  We want Hannah and Alessia to have a play date!

Congratulations Tanja and Angelo!  May you have many years of wedded bliss! :o)
