Flashback Friday

My dear friend Angie that I use to dance with in High School and my first 2 years of college just had her third baby. I have been thinking alot about her this week cause this is the first week she didn't have help and wish we lived closer so I could help her out. So here are some memories for you Angie.

Our Men in Black dance which I can't help but remember Julia in. Julia if you happen across this, I hope you still don't have a scar.

Our good old "shake" dance

Goofing around at Charlie's on a Friday night

Congratulations on the new baby Angie. She and your whole family are just adorable. I hope all is well. And as for babies, these are a few of my favorite (and not so favorite) things:

Not so Favorite: Getting up in the middle of the night
Favorite: Rocking a sleepy baby to sleep and just holding/staring at them

Not so Favorite: Getting dressed to actually go somewhere, picking up the baby only to have spit up spewed all over your clothes and smelling like baby spit
Favorite: Smelling a newly bathed and lotioned baby

Not so Favorite: Lugging heavy, bulky infant car seats around
Favorite: Baby slings

Not so Favorite: Fussy crying and not being able to stop it
Favorite: Just looking at your baby to see a big ol' toothless grin

Not so Favorite: Blowouts shooting straight up the back especially at church
Favorite: Onies and rompers! Whoever created these was a genius. I swear my babies live in them.

Not so Favorite: Nursing
Favorite: Nursing, this is a love/hate relationship

Not so Favorite: Cutting babies fingernails
Favorite: Babies gripping their whole hand around ONE of your fingers and holding on

Those are all so true. I love the pictures too! I love to see pictures of people before I knew them, it's so much fun!

I was shocked to go to your blog and see a picture of me! Especially those horrid bangs of mine :). I especially like the first picture of us and the last picture because I do not have those. I remember us going to Charlies that night. We had so much fun. I think I gained 15 lbs our freshman year of college from all the Charlies shakes we'd eat - YUMMY! That was so nice of you to post. I am so thankful for the friendship we have!

I remember some of those pictures. I agree with you on all the loves and hates. I think nursing is a love/hate relationship, just because it is so time consuming, and your day revolves around it, but I do remember being so sad when I stopped nursing Austin.

Ahhh the Rebelettes memories! I will never forget Julia in that dance either...or Pat who wanted to stop and get a coke on the way to the ER!
