Future Mother of the Year

I was out for my daily walk today, it was nice and sunny. I stopped at a park half-way to go to the bathroom. Kids were running around everywhere and moms were chatting at picnic tables. The bathroom was nice and gross today, so I tried to get out of there as quickly as possible. As I went to leave, I pushed the door outward to exit. What I did not know was that a 4yr old blond boy decided that riding his bike around the restrooms sounded like a good idea. And just as I opened the door, he was behind it. THUNK. The door hit the boy and his bike knocking them both over into the grass. I stood over the 4yr old genius with a look of "what just happened." And he looked up at me from the grass with a look of "what just happened." I asked if he was ok, and he said yes. Then realizing that I was a crazy lady that must have been out to injure him, he quickly got back on his bike and started to ride away.
I looked to see if he had a parent nearby..... nope, no one was looking.
I saw a mom looking at me, so I asked "is that your little boy?" She replied, "nope." Then noticing that she had quite a few children, the mom stranger imparted this advice on me. "Kids heads are hard. And he's not crying. He's fine."

The stowaway

The beginning of January Daniel and I packed up Nathan, and our best friend Joanna and headed to Florida for two weeks. We stayed with Daniel's mom in Daytona Beach for a few days. Then, my parents met us so we could all go on a cruise together; 5 glorious days of fun and food. We had a great time. Lots of sun, sand, and being waited on. We loved it. And now, it turns out, we're going to have a permanent souvenir from our trip. We brought back a stowaway....in my womb. That's right, baby Goulet #2 is on the way. I'm due October 3. Exactly three weeks before Nathans 2nd birthday. All I can say is if baby #2 looks or acts like this guy, my heart's going to explode. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Warning: Cute overload ahead.

Ode to our awesome friend, Jenna. Jenna is our incredibly funny, caring and all around wonderful neighbor. Not only can she sing, play guitar, have great hair and tie a scarf in 25 different ways, she also can take awesome pictures. Like the pictures that she took of me while I was 9 months pregnant, anyone that can make a hugely pregnant woman look comfortable deserves a medal. She took this belly picture of me: Jenna is also chronically Nathan's growth. She came over the other night to take some Christmas card/one month old pictures. Let's just say that Nathan is not the easiest subject to work with. You have to work around the fact that he doesn't focus, has little head control, and favors looking to the right. Despite these challenges Jenna just sent us these pictures. I can barely handle the cuteness, it makes me temporarily forget the 51 pound weight gain, weeks of puking, and hours of labor. This face makes me become delusional enough to think of how many
