What I {Didn't Get To Witness} Today

Amanda and Phil had their baby!!!

Vivian {don't know the middle name} Laum was born 30 September 2010.

Which is good cause we have way too much stuff going on in October.

Momma survived the 17 hours of labor which is completely crazy!

No stats or pics yet but you can bet your butt I'll be posting a million as soon as I can.

As you may recall I got a front and center view of Mia's birth.  I've also gotten to spend pretty much every day with her since then.  So its a little sad I couldn't be there for Vivi's arrival. BUT I can't wait until December when the hwitty's will make our way to see her for the first time!


So, Happy Birthday Vivi! I'm terribly excited for our first video chat.
xo xo FGM

Now I just need to figure out how to make one of these...

Cause authentic ones are CRAZY expensive.

Also, one of my sisters needs to birth a boy so I can dress them him in these...

The cuteness is off the charts.
I love being an FGM.

What I {Get For Not Paying Attention} Today

Apparently I'm and student now and I have to write a research paper proposal.

I was doing some research while Mia was quietly playing with her toys.

Then I noticed it got a little too quiet...

Well on the plus side it gives me an excuse to finally clean my purse out.

I've been on a little video kick (as I'm sure you've noticed).

Today I share with you some exciting news! Newsies (my ABSOLUTE favorite movie of all time) is rumored to becoming a Broadway musical!!!

You can bet your butt the hwitty sisters will be lined up for the premiere!

So on this rainy Monday afternoon I ask that you sit back, relax, and enjoy some Christian Bale singing and dancing action...

And now you have to watch what these clever people put together...

Alright I'll stop with the videos, you can look for more yourself. Too many to choose from!

Ok I lied one more thing...

This research is going great can't you tell?

What I {Think You Should Watch} Today

Some fun random videos!

A lovely idea, but I don't know if I could do it...

Uniform Project Picture Book from The Uniform Project on Vimeo.

Makes me want to wear red lip stick. 

And buy a striped tee. 

And be European.

The couple is some crazy modern irish step dancing duo.  Their YouTube page has a lot of other crazy videos from them. Check it out!


Crazy tears watching this one (like every time I watch Up. I can't get through that movie without a giant limp in my throat} I hope someone loves me like that someday...

Danny & Annie from StoryCorps on Vimeo.


Oh yeah, Mia went to my alma mater today.


I was surprised to see how much has changed in the past 2 years


We found the new Dooley statue...
