Strawberry Sweet Heart








In my current state of unemployment I really have nothing better to do with my time besides take picture of the most adorable baby girl in the world, and blog about it. I mean, who needs to keep their house clean, right? Actually, it seems like all I really do now is stress about what needs to be done around the house, especially because I have NO money to go anywhere, but at least we are debt free(but not boredom free)! So for now, I will enjoy perfecting my photography skills (and one day have the money to buy Photoshop) and keep my house sparkly clean!!
OH, and I should mention a couple more things. Paityn now has TWO teeth. This should be in a blog of its own, but I can't get a photo of them yet because she won't let me open up her mouth that easily (isn't that odd?) but once I get a shot of the teeth I will share the excitement. Luckily, she hasn't been extra fussy (I have heard that is a myth). And...the weather here, has been crazy. Monday was almost 80, I took the kidlets on two long walks and yesterday it snowed. Hope it warms up so I can get back out there in the warm sunshine.

Those pictures are so cute Joy and her dress is just like one our little one has. We are having crazy weather here in England too. Spring just about sprung and then it snowed and since then we have alternate rain and sun...well it is april. Hope you find some more employemnt soon or get back to where you were. Meanwhile you can download free trials of photoshop and elements, and some sites have it for free, but not sure its the latest version. Takes ages to learn how to use all the features, I got given it for my birthday.

Well, that brought back memories, there is nothing stronger on earth than a baby's jaw when they do not want to open their mouth.
You will get used to being home and then your old boss will want to back, then you will not want to go back. It is nice that you can enjoy your baby.
I hope your weather is better than ours,here in Illinois, the weatherman has an evil sense of humor. We had nice weather one day and then 5 o 6 days of every other kind of weather there is.

great photos - I bet it's so much fun buying little girl clothes. My cousin got a lot of clothes at her baby shower and she said her 6 week old has outgrown alot. Do you go to yard sales or do they have alot where you live -I remember my other cousin would always go to yard sales when her daughter was younger and bought lots of her baby/toddler clothes and toys at yard sales for years.

I have photoshop elements which is cheaper then the full photoshop - lots of features I haven't even used alot of them.

That's good you are debt free - I have friends and some relatives that are in huge dept and still spend spend spend which I can't comprehend

Weird about your weather, 80 and then snow. My weather hasn't been that dramatic - I live in the Washington, DC area and it's cold in the morning but warmer in the afternoon (although I'm inside working most of the day I don't feel it)

Anyway can't remember if I mention this or if you know but if you go shopping online - google for discount codes first - google "target discount promotion codes" - usually you can find good discounts, even 5% or 10% is something.

Your blog is always interesting and fun to read - thanks for keeping it public.

Joy, you are amazing and are able to catch the moment with your camera. These are darling and her eyes are so blue and beautiful. I cannot wait to see her teeth. When she smiles, can you see them?

Joy said...

i buy her clothes mostly at target and old navy, some at children's place and gymboree but NOT at garage sales. I am not a fan of that, usually used clothes have stains anyway for an infant!!
And...Lyn, you can see her teeth when she smiles but she doesnt smile alot right now, as you can see in the picture she bites onto her lip!!

Jerry and Lyn said...

I can't wait to see her. I will be home from work about 4:00-4:30 you can come and pick up the chairs and I can see her then. I am so excited.

those are good places to get baby clothes and always good deals at Target and Old Navy. I understand about the garage sales clothes - unless they are unopened - babies have stains on all their clothes.

the outfits are adorable.

I wanted this dress so bad, but today we found out we're having a boy =( No, really we're excited. Paityn is so cute, it was fun to see her in person the other night. Thanks for hosting! I'm adding you to our blog, hope that's okay!?
