lullaby and goodnight

be still my heart...
so, tonight as rhett and i are going through our nightly ritual of singing before heading to sleep i thought we should have some sweet momma and rhett time so we rocked and hummed. in the midst of my humming of lullaby and goodnight i thought to myself...why in the world do you not know the words to this song? so, as i was rocking and humming to my sweet babe i picked up my iphone and tapped in "lullaby and goodnight" and low and behold i found the lyrics and proceeded to sing to my rhett.


"Lullaby, and good night,
You're your mother's delight,
Shining angels beside
My darling abide.
Soft and warm is your bed,
Close your eyes and rest your head.
Soft and warm is your bed,
Close your eyes and rest your head.

Sleepyhead, close your eyes.
Mother's right here beside you.
I'll protect you from harm,
You will wake in my arms.
Guardian angels are near,
So sleep on, with no fear.
Guardian angels are near,
So sleep on, with no fear."

as i was singing rhett was locked in on me and reaching for my lips...how sweet is that...he had the most content sleepy smile on his face as i sang..."close your eyes rest your head..." his eyes got so heavy he couldn't stay awake for one more second and with one last sleepy grin he fell asleep. i am so in love with being a mom!

t minus14 minutes and counting...

here we go again...

i cannot say how many times i have promised myself i would suck it up and be healthy. you know, eat healthy, exercise and really get fit well i think it is about time it actually happens.

tonight before i go to bed i am committing to:

exercising 5 times a week
candy only once a week
water every day
diet coke once a week

my goal is to not feel like i am going to keel over after 30 minutes on the bike and to not crave sugar...whew, that's a big one.

lord help me that all i can say because he's the only way i can be strong enough to finish this healthy habit i'm starting...

dad gum cat

the dad gum cat decided my comforter would be the perfect place to relieve himself...note to self (cat) do not pee on jo's comforter i don't like to fly i am not a bird.

house training + kitten = not one bit of fun

w is for wedding, waller & wuv...a quote from the wed :)

so here we are...

31 and just barely hanging on to 27. we've been married for just over a year and a half and what can i say but marriage suits me and my cutie. we finally made it out of our itty bitty one bedroom apartment and have moved on to bigger and better things...like a three bedroom townhome, complete with a guest room ready for fun friends to come and stay. with the new digs come new thoughts like, "holy cow i've got to get this place looking exactly like my new pottery barn catalog that i just got in the mail." unfortunately for me (but fortunately for nathan) a bedroom out of the pottery barn catalog costs an arm, a leg and maybe another leg. so here we are slowly but surely making our house a home. i have to say that my favorite part is having a kitchen i can actually move around in. i love love love to bake so having a spacious kitchen is crucial so thank goodness we're all set.

and on to more new things ie members of our family, let me introduce you to...

ziggy

he's is our sweet little, rambunctious, cuddly puppy. we went to an adoptathon at the ballpark at arlington and came home with ziggy a german shepherd/husky mix which translates to adorable.

kitten (name still tbd) suggestions?

so...we had a name for our little kitten (who landed on our front porch). we had chosen penny...you know penny lane from the beatles or penny as in find a penny pick it up but low and behold our sweet little penny is a sweet little boy. so we are in the midst of a battle of names how 'bout 'not' penny?

whew...we're about all tapped out with new additions to the waller fam for at least a little while (some people aren't too happy about that) but who knows only time will tell...maybe a bunny will find its way to our porch. who knows
