Joanna at the Movies

Joanna went on her first trip to the movies with Nana and had a good time at the movies yesterday. It mayhave been because there were so many children there. I'm really glad. I asked Joanna if she liked the movie and she smiled and nodded her head yes.

I hope that her recent teething is finally over because she slept like a log all night long and did not wake up early and woke up in a good mood.

She's such a good girl.

While she was taking a bath last night, I got her to put the bath bubbles on my face. She did this repeatedly until all the bubbles in the entire bathtub were dissolved (that didn't take too long, though) and she had a blast, laughing the whole time!

She really has a good time rough housing with Daddy. He lets her jump all over him and off of him. They do pile ups with Joanna and the pillows and stuffed animals and she lays really still and Daddy says "Where'd Joanna go" and hunts all over for her until she pops out of the pile with a big smile on her face.

Joanna talked to Nena on the Phone

Last night, Joanna talked to Nena on the phone. I held it up to her ear and she listened and talked and everything. She even said, "bye" when she was done talking.

No Photo Icons in Finder... All This Time!

http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-80157.html

Now that I'm setting up my Mom with an iMac, I thought to look up a possible solution to a problem I've had with my Mac so she wouldn't have to deal with it, too!

I just learned that I could have told my Mac to show thumbnails as the icons for images in the finder window. OH MY GOSH. I've been using and really liking my Mac for years now, but I have always thought that there was no way to see photo thumbnails as the image icons. I've been using iPhoto, religiously, because of this, which has not turned out to be bad at all. I've managed to keep my photos consistenly imported and organized in iPhoto. I feel so silly now.

Baby Boy is moving around a lot now.

I'm really starting to feel this little baby move around a lot now.

Labor Day

Labor Day is on Sep 7. Wouldn't it be hilarious if I went into labor on
that day! Ha ha! :-)

Twice-Soaked Beans

I'm trying something new with beans: soaking them twice.

After they soaked all night, I drained and rinsed them, but put them back in a pot of fresh water to soak again all day.

I'm hoping that it will make eating the beans a much less gassy experience. I'm also hoping that this will not make them too mushy, though.

Update: It worked!
