Quick Update...

Well it has been a more eventful week for us. The biggest drama was that Rob got stung be a scorpion Thursday night! It was horrible! I guess that is our official welcome to the desert! Rob was just walking through the family room and must have stepped on it and it go his foot. He said it was painful and the poison was even making his leg twitch! The worst part was he felt it for two days! Needless to say we had the exterminators out on Sat. to spray the place down. We also went and bought a black light because for some reason you can see scorpions with a black light, they glow, it is gross. So Rob has been obsessed with checking the house every night. He even got up at 4:30 Sat. night when I got up to feed the baby to check the house again! We have not found anymore so far. We are starting to think it was a fluke he even got stung. We have told so many people who have lived here 20 yrs. and they have never been stung. It is crazy! So hopefully that problem is resolved! It gives me the willies still when I think about it.

We have been venturing out more. We took Taylor to church for the first time yesterday. It was fun to put her in a dress, she looked so cute (thanks Melissa)! Of course we only stayed through the second hour because she pooped everywhere and I did not have a change of clothes. I am learning that a change of clothes is an essential, I really need to be packing a change of clothes for myself too for when she spits up all over me! After church we even ran to a Christmas dinner Rob's office was having. It turned out to be a lot of fun. On Saturday my parents offered to watch Taylor for a bit so Rob and I could get out. So we went to dinner just the two of us. It was so nice, but we were both so tired that we were half asleep!

We also got our first Christmas tree. I am so excited. This is our first Christmas ever that we will be at home and not traveling. We have had so much fun setting the tree up and decorating the house. We hope the tree stays alive till Christmas though, it is already dropping so many needles! Rob swears we are getting a fake one next year. He had a hard time getting it in the base, which wasn't fun. It smells so good though!!

Rob took this picture of Taylor and I napping. I was just so tired, as always, I decided it wasn't worth it to try and get her go back to sleep in her bed. I am trying not to get into a habit of doing this though even though it is so much easier :)

Learning as we go!

Well I finally feel like we are getting somewhat of a routine down. I am learning how to take care of Taylor and manage to eat and shower myself! The lack of sleep is probably the hardest, but I think that I am even figuring out how to run without much of it. Taylor has already changed so much we feel like. Part of me wants her to stay this small forever.

We had a nice quiet Thanksgiving at my parents house. It was just what we wanted to do, relax, hang out with the family a little bit and eat some really good food.

Other than that we are still tryibg to get the house organized, it is getting there. We gave Taylor her first bath last night. She seemed to likt it even though she looks irritated in all of the pictures!

Everyone thinks she looks just like Rob! It is hard for me to tell.

They are always cute when they are asleep, huh!?!
