....I Really Don't Know What to Title This....

Ah, the joys of walking through a big city pedestrian zone. 

What I want to know is:  How did this guy figure out he could do this?

Where Are All The Pictures?!

I know!  I promised to flood my blog with photos of Belle and you have seen a whopping total of ..... one.  Well, to fix that, this post is all about pictures of beautiful Belle.  Enjoy!!

Not at all a flattering picture....but cute.  Very cute. :)

I Promise! I Can Explain!!

Not really.  I must apologize for not blogging in .... how long has it been? ..... Oh my gracious!!  It's been a week!!!  *Collective gasp*  Now, I could blame my absence on several things:

1. The internet.
2. School.
3. Not having anything of importance to blog about.
4. THE PROJECT.

Ok, so, excuses one through three are some pretty lame excuses.  But!  Excuse number four is a VERY valid excuse.  Now, you might be wondering what in the world THE PROJECT is.  I will graciously enlighten.

THE PROJECT is the result of joining a Venturing Crew (which is run by the BSA {Boy Scouts of America}.  I know!  I never thought of me as a Boy Scout either .... being a girl .... Well, I'm not really a Boy Scout ... I'm a Venturer ... None of this has made any sense .... My advice: Google it.).  Anywho!!!  My Crew is spending three days in a castle next weekend.  Burg Reinick.  It is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. 

^^^See what I mean?!^^^

 We are going to be staying here with (up to) 95 other Venturers.  And guess what!  On Saturday night there is going to be a medieval banquet!  Uh-huh!!  So, have you guessed what THE PROJECT is yet? ..... Maybe another photo (or two)....

Because our crew was not informed of this trip before the beginning of February, everyone had to try and figure out what to do for their costumes really quickly.  I made three medieval dresses, one for me and one for both of my friends.  And my sewing machine just about died.  I am quite proud that my dress no longer looks like a table cloth....(we're all about creativity that doesn't cost much ;P).  But, I have to say that my sewing machine is not going to see me again for AT LEAST another week and a half.

I think that's a pretty good excuse, don't you?  No?  Phooey.

Introducing: Adele Cristabel the Funf!

Funf being German for "fifth" and Adele Cristabel being...well, my sister!

She was born at 5:30 pm Germany time, weighs 8 lbs. and 12 oz., and is 22 inches long.

It is now 10:30 pm and my siblings and I have been up to the hospital to see her.  She is, to say the least, beautiful! :)  Longer post and more pictures to come, once I can get to a hotspot that wont upload my photos at a snails pace AND once I get some sleep.  Tired bloggers are not pretty things, at least not in my case.

So...Um...ABOUT the Baby Countdown....

The days where all wrong...
My mom pointed this out to me.  If Cristabel's due day is the 10th and I started the countdown on the 2nd of February.... 2 + 10 = 12.  Doesn't really work ... Yes, I'm in Algebra 2. XP
I was debating whether I should just go back and change all the dates on the posts to save my pride, but then that would really be confusing, so I decided to make a full confession...
Today is day 2 in the countdown.  Time does fly doesn't it?! Hehe... *head-desk, head-desk*
