My Thoughts On Winter

I hate it.

It has no redeeming qualities.

Thanks for listening.

More Than You Ever Wanted To Know About...

Our 3 month old (today!). In honor of a milestone that is really only of any importance to babies and their parents, I went a little crazy with picture overload, so if you are not interested in my stinkin cute baby, you might as well stop reading now!


Things Holden Can Do (Note: Pictures and words do not necessarily correspond)

*End up with half of his bottle spilled all over himself after he is done eating (in typical Wing Family fashion)
*Stare at his fist like it is the most interesting thing he has ever seen. Put it in his mouth to see if it is the most interesting thing he has ever tasted.

*Go through approximately 11 diapers a day (I think we crossed the 1000 mark last week, so hopefully you are all going green to reduce our carbon footprint)

*Does his part in reducing said carbon footprint by saving us at least one diaper a day when he decides to go to the bathroom while he has no diaper on.

*Sleep through the night...When he feels like it.

*Roll over...Forget how for a week...Roll over again.

Now, in case you can't get over what a gorgeous baby I have, I have to admit, he does have his faults. Like me, he is not the most photogenic child. Unlike me, he does not have the finger dexterity to delete unflattering pictures of himself. See for yourself....

P.S. Does anyone else feel like it takes four hours to do posts that have pictures or am I just challenged?

Happy Birthday Juliana!

Okay, so Juliana's birthday isn't until tomorrow, January 5th. But I wanted to post this on her birthday, but I'll be working most of the day, so I'm posting it Sunday night. Just to be clear. I know that Julie's birthday is January 5th. NOT January 4th.

Anyway, back on my birthday, Julie wrote up a very nice blog post about me. I decided I would try my hand at returning the favor. So, I bring you 10 reasons that I love Juliana:

10. She showed me how cool Disneyland is and doesn't care how nerdy I can be about it. She also LOVES the live princesses there. On one visit, three of them walked past us causing Julie to stop and audibly gasp at what she was seeing.

9. She doesn't complain when I watch Los Angeles Kings games on TV or the internet because she knows I don't get to watch them play that often.

8. She loooooves Diet Coke. When offered a choice between Diet Coke and water, I think I've heard her choose water maybe 3 times. In 9 years.

7. No matter how much I try to discredit or mock shows like The Hills, she still loves them. Now that's loyalty.

6. She doesn't care that I'm a super nerd about my video games. She is even cool with me buying a new hockey game every year, even though to her, "It looks the same as last year's."

5. She loves the color pink. Seriously. I could buy her just about anything, and if it's pink, then she's cool with it.

4. She doesn't seem to mind that I have about 100 nicknames for her. She doesn't even care when I call her booger.

3. Her new thing is telling people that she is retired. She even struck up a conversation with my grandpa about it because, you know, they're both retired

2. She takes such great care of Holden

1. She's my best friend

So Happy Birthday Julie! You really are the best!
