I know its dark, but hey, it was first thing in the morning....
And then we turned the lights on. :)
Yay! My Bed!
Yay! My bed arrived today. :) Things are a little tight in my little army house but it sure is pretty!!!
Spoiled Girl
I almost forgot!
Lily got her first box from Tiffany & Co. earlier this week.
And in it, a lovely Limoges box, with an L for Lily no less.
Many thanks to Charlie and Lucy Cook, who spoil us.

"I am Mad!"
This is the norm this week... from about mid-afternoon until Daddy gets home. And yes, it is because I refuse to take an afternoon nap anywhere other than in arms.
Well, we thought we were getting our bedroom furniture...
So, I finally gave in and order the potterybarn furniture I had been coveting for the bedroom. A queen size bed and two dressers - a wide one for me and a tall one for Jake. I got a call from the delivery company and they said they had my potterybarn furniture, could they deliver it on Monday... that was yesterday. So they show up yesterday evening with my dresser and two boxes with the bed in it and left. Jacob and I were a little confused but could understand (sort of) since the potterybarn website said his dresser shipped later. But somethings still nagged at me, I really thought they were supposed to put the bed together for us. So we got started building only to find that there was a box missing... we had side rails and a foot board but no headboard! So I called the delivery truck to find out if they forgot to leave a box. NO! Turns out they knew it was missing (but said nothing) and said they would deliver it when it came.
So I called the potterybarn representative that is tracking our order. She was aghast that they had delivered a partial order and apologized for the situation. (The rest of the order should arrive to the delivery company this Thursday.) So I asked, when they come are they supposed to build the bed or are we... and she adamantly said they are.
In summation, I sadly cannot show you pictures of my new bedroom furniture yet. :( Oh well. Maybe next week.

Fort Bragg
Last night we had dinner with the Coopers, a couple of friends of ours from Germany. Brice and Missy met us at the Texas Roadhouse downtown. I'd never been to that restaurant before (I had filet mignon) and it was pretty good. They finally got to meet Lily and we had a very nice visit.
Brice is going to Fort Bragg for a year after the Career Course so he can complete the Q Course for Special Forces. We just found out this week that we will also be stationed at Fort Bragg. (not my first choice, I wanted Carson, but friends make Bragg all that much better) Jake is going to 4th Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division. Looks like we will be heading to North Carolina in August/September. 4th Brigade just got back from a deployment to Afgahnistan so they will probably not deploy again till mid to late 2009. Looks like Jake will get to be around for Lily's first Christmas and Birthday after all.... :)

Is that so wrong?
Okay... I know she is really too little but Lily sleeps so much better on her tummy than she does on her back. (That stupid Moro Reflex wakes her every ten min!) So I've given to letting her... just for naptimes, and I check on her every little while. Is that so wrong?
Lily is one month old!!!
Her first smile... well, the first one caught on camera.
Happy One Month Birthday Lily. :)
Starting Over
...ah, starting over. In so many ways. I am starting over with the whole attempting to blog thing. Starting over in a new home, in a new place. And I am just plain starting with this whole parenting business. (... so far so good)
So I am trying again with the whole blog thingy (Beth Walter is my idol.) especially now that we are once again so far away from friends and family. And the fact that I am no longer fighting with the dial-up internet at my parent's house helps too! Talk about some fast internet, feels like darn near instantaneous.
Our new place in GA is coming together. Sometimes rather slowly as we now run on Lily-time. I am unpacking... one box at a time. But it is definitly starting to look like a home now. I received the second household goods shipment the day after I flew in so we actually have mattresses and couches to sit on. :) We just ordered the bedroom furniture and dining room chairs last night. A few more weeks and we should be all put together!
John and Dianna, Jacob's parents, are here in the area for a few weeks. They live in their motor-home full time and were generous enough to agree to come to GA as soon as Lily and I could get here. Grandma comes over most days to hold the baby while I am working on getting the house in order.
And of course, LILY IS HERE! Gosh, I wish I knew where to begin. All the other Moms (okay, parents) out there reading this know what I mean. She is pretty darn cute. This pic is from Easter so I know I am a little behind, but whatever. She turned four weeks old on Wednesday... as they say time flies. It is amazing just how much she has changed in such a short time. She is so alert and interactive already... I tease that no one told her how old she is so she just assumes she is older and thus can do more than the average kid her age. She can track (with her eyes) in archs both above and below her midline. And I swear that smile is at me and not just a content smile... no really, I mean it... it just started in the last two days. Now I am ready for her to start cooing in conversation, that's only happened a couple of times so far.
Anyway, we are doing well and settling in. Oh and one more picture... Lily has always been camera shy, lol. "No pictures, please."
