Happy Valentine's Day... PAD #1042

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Eva is playing with the balloon that her Grandfather sent to her. She is grasping at things all the time now and doing so well at her hand control. She has such an amazing grip as well. Here are a couple of other cute photos of Eva.

And Allison took a video as well, yesterday.

Allison took Eva up to NH for a lunch with a friend and while she was gone I finally got my hands on the new computer. I was able to set up pretty much everything as well as organize the cubby that we use for software and wires and whatnot. The label maker came in handy so that I could label all those crazy wires.

We got a Dell. I’ve had nothing but HPs for such a long time but in this case I could not pass up the deal that I got on this Dell Inspiron. It is a slim case so I don’t bang my legs on the case anymore. I promised the stats on the computer so here they are.

So now we have a sweet speedy computer in the house for Allison to use and get caught up on her blogging and anything else that she would like to do online. I also installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 and can’t wait to explore the cool features of the program. It looks awesome. I also spent some time with Microsoft Money because I had installed it on another computer, the one that died and now I couldn’t install it on any other computer. The call went very very well. They were so helpful to me.

Tonight Allison and I went to Moose Cabin for dinner. We had an excellent meal and then came home and caught Lost. After the show I got a picture message from my father. He made it to the southernmost point in Key West. I’m so glad that he got to ride down there and the weather got better. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and to see how things worked out with the GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr that I loaned him for his trip.

Shopping for Baby Clothes…

We have a wonderful baby girl, maybe you have seen her on these blog pages. If you haven’t then you haven’t been looking hard enough at all. We are very fortunate that there are family members that are older than Eva who have clothes to help hand down to her. And being first time parent’s on a budget let me tell you, that helps greatly.

Sometimes however sometimes we end up buying a very cute little outfit that is uniquely Eva’s. And when we do so we like to save money. You can spend a fortune on infant clothes and they don’t even wear half of them. We’ve received hand me down clothes that were brand new because the babies grow way to fast. So what are you going to do to save some money and also keep your baby clothed.

Well, I have found a site called Baby Mall Online that not only has a huge selection of well prices baby clothes but also great prices on other essential baby items. The website itself has a great interface and it is very easy to find the essential baby items that you are looking for. They even have a section called Deals where they list out deals from $1 to $5. This is a perfect place to go to get those items that you need multiples of, like bibs. Man, Eva goes through bibs like crazy. Take a look at Baby Mall Online, you will be sure to find things that you need.
