One of these things is not like the other....

Hi. Amanda here. Tonight's blog is coming to you courtesy of some new acquisitions that we've recently made. No, the Bean is not here yet...but we are expecting him any day now. I think we're pretty much ready although I'm sure I'll realize, after he's actually here, that I've forgotten a million and one things. Oh well... I think our excitement, love and care will be sufficient until we figure out what exactly we're doing.

Here is Jared with his brand new grill, a very generous gift from DH. Jared made delicious 'Lemon Garlicious' chicken on it tonight and we also had corn on the cob which I love. Tomorrow night we'll have Michelle and Chris over for hot dogs and cheeseburgers. Grilling is one reason that I love summer - the food tastes great and there isn't anything quite like the smell of something on the BBQ. Isn't this grill huge? That's what she said.


Here is Jared with his brand new road bike. I am very proud of him for actually making this purchase. He has been saving money for about a year now, and even though the funds were just sitting on his dresser waiting to be spent on this bike, he still had doubts about buying it. Not because he didn't want the bike, but because he thought we had other things to do that were more important. This is something that I appreciate about Jared - he is very responsible with money and is always putting our family/home needs before his own. I admire this quality, and am also annoyed by it because he literally never buys anything for himself, whether he wants it OR needs it. This was definitely a break through for him. I think he's going to be really happy with this bike. Not to mention the fact that he looks great on it. That's what she said.

Finally, here is the Bean's new dresser, courtesy of Papa Goldsmith and Nannie. This dresser now contains little socks, little pants, little gowns, little blankets and little hats for our baby. It will also serve as a changing table. I am all about things that have multiple functions. That's what she said.

Nice job, Amanda! You are an expert poster - that's what she said! Chris and I laughed our way through the blog tonight...I love your postings, primarily because they sound so completely different from Jared, and that's in a good way! We're looking forward to tomorrow night - Chris wanted me to mention that we have a huge package (that's what she said) of hot dogs (he'll show those to you later, Jared), so if you want us to bring those over with our salad, we can do that. Just let us know!

Great post! :)

Can you attach a little seat on the back for the bean, so you can take him for a ride and pick up Chinese food take out. Your new purchases look relly good.
