I use it several times a day, yet it's not something I feel like I should do in front of others, especially that often.... It's tall and slender and red... and plastic... Yes, it's my new Gazelle, a handy broom vacuum cleaner for hard surface floors. I have caught myself using it multiple times a day when no real vacuuming needs to take place. I just really like how handy it is and how I never have to sweep, my most hated household chore, ever, ever again. :)
The picture above was taken when we were waiting for the MARTA train in Atlanta. Solomon was such a happy traveler. It's fun b/c Cherie's kiddos have the same "My Dad Rocks" shirt. So cute.
Solomon is walking with just the help of me holding his hand now. It's so fun to watch him. He still like the ease of getting around via crawling though the best. He's just all over the place. Right now, he totally digs avocado, cheese, bread, bananas and dehydrated apples. He's also getting much better at the sippy cup. Hopefully, it won't be long until I can get rid of the dreaded bottles completely.
So, how exciting have the Olympics been? I have ALWAYS loved the Olympics, so this has been a really fun time for me b/c of the swimming of course. The gymnastics events are so strange this year. It seems like the judging is so messed up. Alex and I always laugh at some of the strange and awkward floor exercise "dance" moves. We also think the commentators are pretty funny at times but not b/c they are meaning to be. Some of the gymnasts are very odd too look at as well b/c they tend to be so compact and muscular. Did anyone see the woman gymnast who was in the vaulting finals the other night? She looked like a tiny middle-aged man. She was 33, which is ancient in gymnastics I guess.
Alex is not an Olympics fan. I just don't get it. He just doesn't get my love for the Olympics. I think it comes from growing up in a household where he just didn't watch it much. Whereas, we watched it all of the time. It's so strange to me especially b/c he's such a sports fan otherwise.
Speaking of sports, Alex and I are going to the KU football home opener in Lawrence on Aug. 30th. My b-day is the next day, so it should be a good time. Plus, I think Erin and Cherie are meeting me for pedis and manis that day! I can't wait for a little girl time!

i LOVE the Olympics, as well. I also grew up watching them, so it's a tradition. Love the swimming, gymnastics, and my fave is always the diving. I also crack up at the gymnastics "dance moves"---so terrible!
ek
Ditto with Aaron and the Olympics, I don't get it either. I get so mad if doesn't let me watch it and he watches something he DVR'd! I can't wait for our girl time! I love that the boys all have the same shirt! I love how the gymnasts all of a suppen "pop" a weird pose too.
Oh man, I was laughing at all the same things you were it sounds like. Those commentators! And those silly moves on the floor and the beam. hahah.
Sigh - Lawrence sounds like fun.
