I have been crying the last hour because I have lost the memory card to my camera that has pictures of V on it. I took it out of my camera yesterday to print some pics off and have lost it either at Target, Babies-R-Us or Wal-Mart. I called all three places and no one has turned the memory card in. It had pictures of V pulling up and taking steps and her Halloween pics and many more. I just can't believe I lost it. John took the car to work so he is going to check the inside and make sure it didn't fall out in the car. I am praying that it is in the car. I just can't believe it.
On a brighter note...V tried cottage cheese yesterday. It was pretty funny. She ate a few spoonfuls and then had enough. She just wasn't too sure about the texture. I think she likes it though.
Tonight I am going to try to make hummus and some chili-cheese phyllo cups. It can't be too hard to make hummus, its just chickpeas, evoo and garlic. I just get nervous making new things that other people have to eat. Don't get me wrong, I love to make new things, but these items are going to church tomorrow night for the new members reception. Hopefully they come out okay.

Deep Thoughts
Now that V is in bed, I can actually type without ten little fingers trying to reach for the keyboard or the mouse.
We just got back from Home Group and John and I had a pretty good discussion on the way home. Why is it that there is always that person or couple that want to be the complete antithesis of everyone else in the room. I can understand being devils advocate but to actually believe and to live out those thoughts and actions, I just don't understand. Why is it that people feel proud and accomplished knowing that they annoyed someone by their beliefs when in all actuallity we all just want to be loved and to love others. It makes me really sad. Also whats sad is that I will dismiss it by saying that these people are young. I shouldn't let age be an issue but I don't like confrontation and I let that excuse be my way out. I also seem to forget that prayer should always be the answer. I slack off a lot in that area.
Also why is it that people get so amped about political issues? It is usally just so that they can have something to argue about with someone. Sorry I am just ranting here. I have a lot on my mind.
Back to V: She is pulling up like crazy right now. It is so cute. The first time she pulled up was at her bookshelves. It was amazing!! I am so proud of her. Now she pulls up in her bed, our bed, couch, everywhere. She is growing up so fast. I think she is cutting some more teeth. Everything is going into the mouth...EVERYTHING!! Even the heating grate in our family room, she loves to lick it. I have to get her cut off from doing that before we have to start using the heater. She is such a goofball!

The Pumpkin Patch
Yesterday Virginia and I went to the Pumpkin Patch with Parents As Teachers. We had a lot of fun but it was bitterly cold. V couldn't even smile for pictures at first. We rode a hay ride out to the actual patch and V got to pick her own pumpkin.
Tonight is the Maple Leaf Baby Contest. I really don't have any intention of winning but I thought it would be fun to enter her. I am not sure how it works or if there is even a prize but I think V will like to be around all of the kiddos.
After the contest we are going to go to the Webb City vs. Carthage football game (Go Tigers!!). We are meeting my best friend from high school, Ashley, there. It is going to be cold and crowded but fun.
Tomorrow is the big parade! We are meeting Ashley and her two girls there. I think V will like to see all of the floats, people and colorful leaves everywhere. I can't wait!!! I love Maple Leaf season!!
I almost forgot...V has cut her two bottom teeth!! She is such a trooper, she never even fussed when they were poking through. If you look closely you can see them in the picture of the two of us at the pumpkin patch.

love those garage sales!
John and I left out early this morning for some garage sale-ing on Fort Leavenworth. There were some great sales. I purchased a lot of books for V and a couple for Lilly. We also found a Diaper Champ, which we are stoked about!! Found some Reeboks for V and a baby monitor. We made quite a hall!
V got to meet some of her Oma and Opa's friends, the Irwin's. V was of course her cute self, except towards the end she was pretty cranky.
Right now V is playing with her daddy and Thor is playing with his Opa. It is fun to sit here and listen to them play.
We are back on the road tommorrow for home.

Growing Up
V tried pulling up today. She pulled her upper body up and tried getting on her feet. She was on one foot and one knee. She just couldn't figure out how to get the other foot up. It was so much fun to watch. She was concentrating so hard on it.
She came garage saleing today with her Oma and Uncle Kyle. She had a lot of fun.
She is feeling better. She has her appetite back and is all happy again. It is so nice to have her back!
We went apple picking today and got a boat load of apples. I can't wait to get home and make some pies and applesauce!

with the fam
Virginia is so funny. She is such a ham for the camera. She loves to pose and she is only 8 months old.
Right now we are in KC visiting. John is spending a couple of days with a highschool friend and then will meet up with us at his parents house. We were very excited to come up here (even Thor).
I am still ripping up carpet in the house. I have finally finished the family room and now am working on the living room. I will be so happy when the floors are done. I might have to reward myself when I am done. Maybe I will buy myself some ice cream or something.
V is sick again. At least she does not have ear infections again. She does have a upper resporitory infection again with addition to pink eye in both ears. She is such a trooper though. She fights past the discomfort and pain. Her poor little nose is so sore. I feel so bad for her. Her nose is all red and raw.
