How Well Do You Know Me?

Quick update - Logan, Ramsey, and I are doing great.  I love being a mom and a wife even more than I thought I was going to.  If you had asked me 5 years ago if this is where I'd be now, I would have told you NO WAY!  I guess God really does know us better than we do!
 
Got this from my friend Jessica and thought it was cool.  Play along if you want!
 
 
A new twist on the friendship quiz.........

Ramsey Rolled Over This Morning!!!

Well, I wrote a long entry last night and Xanga ate it, so I gave up and went to bed!  Short version:

Ramsey is doing great.  Check out www.carepages.com (search for curiousgeorgebaby) for more detailed update!

Logan and I had this week off.  It was a lot of fun, but I'm really bummed to be going back.

We ordered a great new mattress and I can't wait for it to get here!

I'm reading several good books: Stealing Jesus, Baby Minds, and Sea Glass, which I all recommend.

Talk at y'all later! 

PS - Hi new November Moms!  I'll be by to say hello on your sites soon.  Thanks for joining my blogring!

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my husband?

Ramsey has been really fussy the last couple of days (he has a little bit of a cold), and I was really wound up and stressed out tonight.  Logan took over and let me go take a loooong bath in my big garden tub.  I soaked in yummy bath water (www.lush.com), deep conditioned my hair, exfoliated my face, and shaved my legs. . .all to candlelight and total silence.  It was heavenly.  I feel much better.  I can't wait to climb into bed and cuddle with my sweet hubby.
