Just checking in

From here on out, most of the pictures on here will probably be of our little girl Zoe. She is growing by leaps and bounds. Today she is 4 and 1/2 months old and has hit some milestones. She slept through the night last night. I understand that that might be more like a milepieceofjello. I don't expect that she'll do that every night from here on out, but man, it felt so nice to sleep through the night. She also rolled over today from back to tummy. Then she got stuck and cried. If only that other arm wasn't in the way. Argh! I love watching her and being with her and playing with her. Today she was introduced to Guns-N-Roses - yet another milestone. We rocked out together to "Welcome to the Jungle." She was totally digging it too. Ryan is currently working for a guy named Eric Lofholm. He's a sales trainer. Things seem to be going well, but we both feel that it's not going to be long term for us. We're still apartment managers at our complex and that has its ups and downs. Right now is a down because we've got some vacancies and need to get them filled. We are happy and healthy and couldn't be doing better.
I have started an entertainment blog (http://canyounamethemovie.blogspot.com). It indulges my movie quoting side. If you are a movie quoter, check it out. I post a movie quote everyday and you get to see if you know it! The following day I'll tell you what movie it's from in case you didn't get it.
Last Saturday I had the opportunity to go to my sister's step-daughter's basketball game. She's 10 (step-daughter, not my sister). There were some moms in the stands that I am determined to never turn into. They were yelling at the refs for every call and were into the game way more than their kids were. I was embarrassed for the kids. Mom, thank you for (as far as my memory serves) never being like that. I am all for supporting kids in sports, but once you're so into it that you're threatening to yell at a ref who is giving up his/her Saturday morning to chase around a bunch of kids who don't know what they're doing, then I think there's some serious problems.
Ok, and now pictures of a way cute baby:

She loves her feet. I love those leg warmers!

She loves guitar time with Daddy.
