What do you have to be an AW about this week?
Re: AW Thursday
I finally get to go out with the girls tomorrow night. between a few of us having babies and travels and work, this has been a hard thing to coordinate.
BR: DS can now roll himself across the room and scoot himself backwards. Baby gates are now needed!
So, about 3 years ago DH bought the frame for a hard-top for his jeep, but all the windows were broken (he got it for ~$75). We thought we could get cheap glass for it, but that didn't work out so well - would have cost ~$700 for glass from the factory. Anyway, last night he was poking around craig's list and found a damaged hard-top selling for ~$200 - but all of the glass is supposed to be in perfect shape.
So, the AW is that we (hopefully) will finally have a complete hard-top for the jeep just in time for us to consider putting it up for sale. DH is hoping that the $275 may net us close to a grand in the final selling price.
So happy and excited for you!!
My aw is Gabriel is almost walking. He's to the point where he will only hold one hand instead of 2 and he's reaching out to us. I give him a few more weeks!

This morning when I was getting Brendan dressed for daycare he said to me:
"You're my best friend and you're the best mommy in the world" he then gave me a hug! It came out of no where and it melted my heart!!!!
-going to dinner tonight with a close friend that i haven't seen in a couple of months, we've had this dinner planned & cancelled at least a dozen times but it appears it's finally going to happen.
-My mom is in town! Although I won't be able to see her until next week because she's going to the nascar race, i'm excited. I hate that she lives OOS.
