A New Winner!

Alas, it appears that Estela was a fly-by entry who didn't come back to claim her prize.

So back to random.org. This time, the random number generator chose comment #9.

Yeah for you rarejule!!!!

Email me your address and I will send you the cookies. Lucky for you, calories don't count when you're pregnant, so you can scarf them all!

Stay Tuned...

I will resume my regular blogging activity next week.

Look forward to some updates to my blog layout, as well as birthday bash reports, and an explanation as to why THREE Sheriff's visited our home earlier in the week. Yes, we took on the appearance of the local drug home. We're just that cool.

Also, be sure to check in Monday evening. If I have not received Estela's home address information by then, I will be selecting a new lucky winner for those scrumptious GS cookies.

The Winner...

is Estela!

I used a random number generator which selected comment #16.

Estela, please email your home address to me at mindthemommy [AT] gmail [dot] com and those cookies will head your way this week.

Thanks to all who participated.

UPDATE for ESTELA. If I do not receive your home address by Monday evening at 7 PM Eastern on February 23rd, I will select a new winner. Please email me.

Sixth Picture

I was tagged, and I am actually passing it along.

This is the sixth picture in my sixth folder of pictures.

Number One on her first day of first grade about 18 months ago. Wow, has she ever grown up! I can't believe how much she has changed.

Tag, you're it: Jen, Christen, Mindy, and the Galloping Grandparents.

Here are your instructions:

1. Find your sixth picture folder and in that folder, the sixth picture.

2. Post it on your blog with a caption or explanation about the picture.

3. Tag four others and leave a comment on their blog to let them know they've been tagged.

She bounced into the office this morning where I was sitting at the computer and very abruptly asked, "Do you notice anything different about me today?" She waited with such poise and expectation. Hoping not to disappoint her I racked my brains, but still came up empty.

"No," I replied, hoping my inability to produce the desired response wouldn't upset her.
To my relief, she was forgiving this time. Without skipping a beat, she turned her head and proudly announced, "I am six and a half today. That is what is different about me."

I love this girl. Happy Half Birthday Number Two!!!

February 1st is the New January 1st

Or so I proposed on my guest post at Segullah yesterday.
