Ava Tries Tomatoes

This is my funny little baby eating a home grown tomater. Don't mind the dish brush that may or may not make it into her mouth at one point.

In the last week, we've enjoyed lots of Rasmusson family goodness. Nils' sister Saren flew out from CT for a few days with her cute little baby Red. It was great to see her and meet li'l Red, and have a lot of the fam over to eat and play. The front door was open for a couple of hours, and about a trillion flies got in the house. They  were making themselves comfy on the high walls, but they were no match for Nils and his brother Grove, as they sucked them up with the vacuum. It was highly entertaining to watch. I hate flies.

I've had three migraines this week. This is unacceptable. They make me mental and I'm sick of Aani saying, "you don't feel good, Mommy? Mommy, you're sick?" I'm going to try eliminating artificial sweeteners from my life and see if that makes a difference. Goodbye, Light 'n Fit yogurt and Crystal Light. I'll miss you, but I'll manage somehow.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a Women's Health Conference at UVRMC. There were several speakers, breakfast and lunch, and door prizes. I won a gift basket full of all sorts of goodies. When they read my name I yelled, "WOO HOO! I NEVER WIN ANYTHING!!" It was a pretty quiet group, so I looked like a freak show, but I was genuinely excited. Fortunately my mom and sister were with me to offer their support.

I need three things right now: A good book, to go grocery shopping, and this bloody headache to leave me in peace.

Thanks for reading. Nighty night.
