Every Day Smoochy

A bit about what we've been up to...

We've had visitors...

Grammy T & Mr. Tim (back in early September!)


My Aunt Em and Uncle Henry swung in for a stop on their year long camper tour of the nation. This picture was actually taken at my wedding but toy can read about their adventures and see pictures from their visit with us HERE (Set. 18th & 19th).


No, this is not our new household pet, but the THIRD bat we've found in our house. Smoochy went down stairs to turn on the dishwasher before we went to bed. This little guy flew right at his crotch as he turned on the light and walked into the kitchen. Luckily the bat was easy to catch and release back into the night!

We've been pretty busy all around.

A lot of my time has been spent working on projects promoting Nebraska Friends of Midwives activities. Today I'll be driving around Omaha hanging fliers and petitioning businesses for donations for our raffle. Plus this week I've hosted a playgroup and a dinner party! B-U-S-Y!

Smoochy has been working hard for the man and doing lots of home improvement projects.



And Normy had been up to his usual antics.



Plus, we have a bunch of stuff on the horizon. Tonight we've hired our first babysitter EVER so that we an go to the rodeo (a first for me!) with our next door neighbors. Friday after work we are heading to Topeka to see Patrick's (Jacob's brother) senior homecoming football game. Then Sunday, we have a visit at the Birth Center with our midwife.

Life is very good and full here. Tons to blog about and no time to do it! Oh well. C'est la vie.

You Go Girl! I was not expecting the picture of you catching the bat. You could have had Jacob handle that and you could have taken the pic. You must be crazy!! You could have gotten rabies.

Not surprising that your bat went after Jacobs crotch. They are used to going after bugs and small insects.

Are you nuts?? That bat could have flown right at you, and bat bites are really bad news!!! I think I would be calling in the experts to take a look in your attic and make sure that they haven't made a home for themselves. Think RABIES!!! Yikes!
By the way, I love your curtains and the color of your wall! :0)

I'm impressed with your bat catching skills. We had one once hiding behind some books stacked on a staircase. My son told me there was a bat there, and I went to look and I said, "that's not a bat, that's..." and then this little thing which had been curled up in a furry ball raised its head and bared its fangs and hissed at me and I about had a heart attack.
