misc.

I went to get the mail the other day and there was a box in slot that looked like a box of checks. I was thinking "hmm.. that's strange" Then I picked it up and saw this!

Addressed to Baby Girl Troness. Pretty cute and it definitely made me laugh. Her very own first piece of mail. Inside we found some girly goodies!

Look at the little girl socks and a girly rattle! So cute! What's funny about this is that I had this exact rattle in my hand at Target the other day and I totally wanted to buy it but in my head I was thinking "Joe is going to kill me if I keep coming home with girl stuff every time I go out." I came home with 3 girl outfits the other day and holy hannah did I get major eye rolls and the you-can't-buy-a-ton-of-stuff-everytime-you-go-out talk. And here I thought I was being so good! I had at least 10 outfits in my cart and I put a bunch back :) But then I came home with this and how could he be upset with this!

Anyway, it is definitely fun to be shopping for a girl this time. Apparently Grandma Troness feels the same way!

Grandma Troness sent Carter his first rattle too. I still remember exactly which one it is and I'm sure it will be the same thing with these socks and rattle for Baby Girl Troness.

Speaking of Baby Girl Troness, I think that might end up being her name. Joe and I are having a TOUGH time with names. We were pretty set on Paysen for a boy.... but then the strangest thing happened.... we found out it's not a boy! The shock of that is still setting in. But we love to tell Carter about his baby sister. The other day at Target we let him pick out a sleeper for his little sister. He picked this purple sleeper with a giraffe. Letting Carter pick stuff is always fun and so cute! Plus I think he made a good choice with this sleeper.

Double digit temps this morning lead Carter and I to the park. Finally!
