Smokin Crazy

 

Back In October I bought Brian a smoker for our 5 year anniversary.  He loves it, so much that he has bought another bigger and better one.  He has decider to start competing.  Although it is nice to have help with the cooking I do get a little tired of BBQ.  Last night was rib night, 6 racks at that.  I have to say last nights batch was my favorite batch.

The Ribs..

 

Last week Lauryn had tubes put in her ears.  It was so simple.  When they took her from me I walked to the waiting room, looked at my e-mail, went to the bathroom and the doctor was back.  It literally took 5 minutes. She has been better this week just very needy.  It is great to have her wake up talking instead of a piercing scream.  I am sure she feels much better.   I got Lauryn’s nine month pictures taken about 2 weeks ago.  I used Laurie Nowling.  She did such a great job.  She has a studio in old St.Charles and it is so cute.  I am so happy with the way the pictures turned out.laur 9

The ending of 2009

We have had a busy week.  Lauryn’s first Christmas was great.  Grandma Linda got her a rocking horse and she absolutely loved it.  We got her a shopping cart to push around and she does such a good job.  I really think she will be walking this month.  SCARY!  We left Christmas day to go to Florida.  We stopped in Georgia on Saturday and had Christmas with Brian’s family.  His aunt bought her a box..strange I know, but she loved it.  We had a great time in Flordia, Brian had a race in Daytona witch is where his parents recently bought a condo.  Lauryn and I would go watch him race and walk on the beach every day.  The weather was not the best but it sure beat snow. 

We did however have an exciting milestone as parents, Lauryn has learned to wave bye bye. It is so cute.  We hope everyone had a great new years, we were asleep bye 9pm.  Oh my, how the times have changed.
