Vamos!

My temp nanny gig finished up on Friday, a few weeks early. It was fun and I was sad to leave since I was just getting in the swing of things with a two year old. I still have the songs from "Dora the Explorer" and "Go Diego Go" in my head. lol. I learned some Baby Sign language too!

Anyway, I'm taking the week for projects around the house and running errands and such. After that, I still have over a month to kill with temp jobs. bleh. :(

I started the weekend by painting the kitchen walls (the last room in the house to paint! yay!) and now I'm working on all the cabinets and trim. I'll definitely post some before and after pics when I'm done, just to proclaim my supreme awesomeness. :D

Actually, the supreme awesomeness award goes to Mark, who has now lost a whopping 40 pounds!!! He switched from running to the elliptical machine because of knee problems and he's up to like 7 miles a day or something crazy like that. He is pretty amazing.

Oh ya, and Mark's 32nd birthday week officially starts this Friday and runs through the following Sunday. The 5th is his big day, just FYI! Yes, around the Tooley house, we do a WHOLE WEEK. It's really the only way we can sufficiently celebrate each other's existence, because we are pretty much redonkulously in looooooove. :)

Family Reunion 2007 - Pittsburgh, PA

We had a super radtastic time in Pittsburgh :) It was an awesomely successful family reunion in my opinion, and I can't wait for all of us to get together again. I feel pretty blessed.

I didn't take a whole lot of pictures since I felt like I was in a dream pretty much the whole time. I wish now that I would have snapped some of Jana cutting Mark's hair in her kitchen, and of Sugar the itsy bitsy pup, who I wanted to stuff in my bag and run away with. but anyway, here are the pics I did manage to get. enjoy. :)

We rode the incline up Mount Washington, got some ice cream...
