All I can say is...



Wow!  My little family has been in Topeka for almost three weeks now!  It has been so much fun to be closer to family and friends, but I feel like we have just been on the go constantly since we moved.  I can't wait for things to slow down a little bit.  Here is just a snapshot of what we have been doing with our time.   I'll start with how Dan and I celebrated out fourth anniversary.   
Dan took me to Kansas City for a night.  It was our first night away from Mya, it was hard but it was very nice.  We stayed in Overland Park and then went to a town called Parkville.  It was such a cute little place.  There was this huge "castle" in the hills that I just loved.  
Dan took me to a wine tasting, which was so cute.  I have been telling him for the last, um, five years that I wanted to do a wine tasting.  He doesn't even like wine, but took me anyway.  What a thoughtful guy.  We had to snap a picture by the Missouri river.  It was such a nice day!



Gotta love girl time!  My friends: Cassie and baby Ethan, Laurel, Lindsey and baby #2 inside, and of course, me and Mya!  I just love those girls so much!  It's amazing how we can just feel so comfortable with each other when we don't get to see each other very often.  

And here's my sweet girl eating at the table like a big girl!  Guess what she's eating?  Pancakes!!  I gotta start her early eating pancakes because that's one of her mommy's favorites!  She ate hers plain, but when she gets big she can have pancakes with peanut butter and syrup.  Yum.

Now I just have to show you my happy clothed baby in her car seat.  The reason I point out that she's clothed is because of the next picture down below.

Here's my naked girl in her car seat.  Here's the totally embarrassing story.  We were eating at a restaurant with some friends and friend's parents.  Everything was going well enough.  Mya was a little fussy but that's because she hadn't gotten her morning nap.  That's not unusual.  When I went to get her out of her high chair to play with her a little, I spotted it...poop.  All over my child's leg and now on my arm.  Nice.  So I take her to the bathroom to clean her up and only have two wipes.  Even nicer.  And no change of clothes for her.  Great.  She's crying because she has strangely developed a hatred for commercial changing tables and people are coming in and out of the bathroom staring.  I did manage to get Mya cleaned up and wipe the poop off my arm and shirt.  Yes, it was on my shirt too.  Here's the best part: as we're getting ready to leave, Dan tells me that not only had Mya got poop all over her and me, but the waitress had to clean up a pile of poop off the floor.  That's how it was described to me...a pile of poop.  Yuck.  Then we walked out of the restaurant with our naked child.  So there she is.  Asleep and naked.  But isn't she just so cute?
