We visited grandma-great today. She was so happy to see Cooper! She hasn't seen him since the beginning of January. He's changed so much since then! On a grandparents note: Papa is not doing so well. He is starting to forget more and more. Grandma was telling me today that the other night he thought she was the "maid." (Which is weird because they've never had a maid...) He asked her if she was staying the night, she said yes.
He said, "Ok, well there are several spare bedrooms back there you can sleep in."
She said, "I think I'm going to sleep in that room back there" (pointing to their bedroom)
He said, "Well, that's where I sleep."
She said, "I know. I've slept back there too for 34 years."
He said, "Ok... you can sleep back there... but there isn't going to be any 'hanky panky' going on."

LOL.

It was funny when grandma told me that. She laughed and I laughed. But I know she's really hurting. He doesn't remember any of his grandkids and he's starting to forget who his own kids are. He, obviously, forgets who grandma is. It just sucks.

On a more positive note, I've also noticed Cooper is less "grunty" these days and we've stopped giving him gripe water. Which is good news. Anywho...

I am so excited. I decided I really need (okay, not "need" but really want/need) and new digital camera. It will be a good investment now that we're having kids. I did a TON of research this week and decided this is the one I want:








The Canon Rebel XS. They have nicer "Rebel" models out right now, but I don't think I need super fancy features. But, this is an SLP which is a nicer camera than the "Point and Shoot" I have now. I cannot WAIT to get it and learn all about it and start taking pictures! I think I finally convinced Philip it will be a good investment.

I went to WW yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks. (Last week was the ice storm and they were closed) I lost 3 pounds! For a grand total of 7.4 lost. I'm getting there... slooooowly but surely. We're going to the store tomorrow to stock up for the week. I think I'm doing to try some new recipes. My #1 favorite from last week was Mexican Meatloaf. Yuuuuuumy.
