Quick list: Props and perspective

I really SO need to be doing other things than sitting here on the computer. So I'll be succinct...

~Thanks for the comments to the economy post. That's why I asked. I didn't mean to sound smug, I just really don't have a personal connection to this crisis that they keep talking about. As I mentioned in a follow-up comment, my family is a bunch of preachers, on both sides, and there's not alot of retirement accounts and 401Ks or 403Bs to be had in the small town church budgets, so it's more a work-and-earn situation, and they will all be working til they die, probably. Therefore, I haven't thought much about the repercussions of those elements. So thanks to you guys who shared. I'm still not panicking, but I see why there's concern.

~On a nice note--Gas is under $3/gal today here!! Woo hoo again!

~For the props... in my post on laundry, I mentioned that I do all the laundry, etc, etc. And that has generally been true. BUT I want to be fair and say that M has been SUPER helpful this past week in managing the laundry downstairs, washer, dryer, hanging, even folding!! Yay!! This is no small thing, and it deserves mentioning. Thanks, babe!

BabyLegs Giveaway

That's right! A BabyLegs Giveaway!! BUT...this giveway has an extra dose of generosity required for the participants. Can you handle it? BabyLegs has been so great to us, and they have surprised me once again! It all started back when the superb Tricia and Little Miss G sent Braska a pair many moons ago. We'd seen them on a few of our little blog friends, and I thought they were adorable. And the idea of keeping Braska warm while being able to access her g-tube without having to undress her was very appealing. So when we received our surprise pair from our friends out East, we were just plain giddy! I quickly ordered several more pairs to go with her wardrobe. It didn't take anytime at all for BabyLegs to become my standard gift at baby showers, and I especially loved sending them to moms that I found who had fresh little new babies with DS. They're perfect for everyday with a long-sleeved onesie, they are great under a little dress, and they are so helpful with thera...

Peek at tomorrow

This weekend we were at my in-laws' place for a very quick visit. We went largely for a housewarming for Cheryl and Ethon, which was Sunday afternoon. They have a pretty darn cool place, so yay for you guys! Sunday morning pictures are normal, we do them alot. This week, before we left for church, Carole took a few pics of my little poonchin. They didn't all turn out great, as she kept making funny faces and moving at the last second. I stole them off her camera for my collection, and when I looked at this one I just kind of stopped. It's not any super great picture. It's cute, but hey, how could it not be? She's waving at herself, that's the reason the hand is up. But that's not what I saw. Go ahead, click on the picture. Can you see it? I don't see Down syndrome. I don't see a feeding tube. I don't even see a tough cookie, open-heart surgery survivor. It's not my favorite picture of her ever, but I can't hardly stop looking at it. This...
