Flashback Friday: What I was doing 4, 3, 2, 1 year(s) ago

(flashback friday courtesy of My Tiny Kingdom.)


While I thought it would be fun to "flashback" 3 years ago when I was pregnant (I think it was because I was with my preggo friend tonight), after reviewing pictures I have decided that I don't particularly want to stare a 50 pound weight gain in the face or share those pictures with you, although some of you might have been 'lucky' enough to have been around to witness my love of WingZone and lack of exercise. You think I exaggerate. I don't.

So on a less heavy note, I thought I'd share mostly pictures of Wiley from each year. Just for fun to see how he has grown and what we were up to. I'll add in a few humiliating pictures as well just to you know--embarrass myself.

Spring 05: Senior Banquet (haha)


Late Spring 06 (50 lbs heavier, just to come full circle here and if i make this small maybe you can't see anything in detail.)


Almost Spring Break 07: Hanging out with Big Dean


February 08: Sweet Smile


February 09: with Daddy


Ah, this makes me want to sing that Amy Grant song "Oh How the Years go By." Join with me now; oh how the love brings tears to my eyes, all through the something the love never dies..."

corny, i know. get over it! :-)(

Waiting...

It has been awhile since I posted anything...I guess not much has been happening here that I think is blogworthy. We are potty training at a lackluster pace, although Ws teachers think that he is completely potty trained at school. I sort of realized today that when he is potty trained that when he has to go he has to go. Regardless of where we are. I know. That was pretty dumb of me. So, again, not sure we are ready. I am not nearly as committed as I need to be.

In other news...We had a nice trip down south this past weekend. I met a fellow blogger in real life which is always exciting. She has inspired me to look for bike seats for W. (Wal Mart is leading the race with the Bell seat, which unfortunately is only up to 40 lbs, but I figured it would last for the rest of the spring).

While there, I got a MacBook for graduation from Wil's parents! I was so excited! It has also made me feel old (technology-wise) as I am not sure what I am doing on here. I need to switch my pictures to this computer. Should I use Picasa like I was (so I can save online) or should I use iPhoto? Any suggestions or tips on transferring stuff? I feel slightly sleeker when I use this computer--almost like Sarah Jessica Parker in SATC when she is typing her articles. Only I type about potty training and she types about....

Speaking of writing, I also have received 2 new pieces of fine literature...The Strong Willed Child by Dr. Dobson and Your Three Year Old: Friend or Enemy. I will let you know how those work out. I'm not sure they will be my beach reading of choice during spring break, but who knows!

I would post a picture, but as I said before they are on the other computer right now. In the meantime, please send me any tips for this changing of the guard, I mean, computers.

So, in regards to the Title... Things we are waiting on...
- potty training commitment
- warm weather
- daffodils blooming on campus so that I can have free fresh flowers in my house (what? my tuition helped pay for those bulbs!)
- picnics and bike rides (complete with child on back) in aforementioned warm weather
- spring break
- how to work a Mac
- where in the world (literally) we will be next year, and by next year, I mean this summer. As in June.

I don't like waiting. Bottom line. So this is a really super exercise in patience particularly regarding the last one. I can wait on daffodils, I know they are coming b/c I saw them down south.

So, I remain waiting...

What are you waiting on?!
