Christmas in the BY Universe

Well, the X-Mas weekend is officially coming to an end. It was a great weekend in the BY Universe.

Cousin Mo and La-La rolled into W-town to enjoy the festivities...

There was a tremendous amount of yummy food. Xmas eve consisted of a capon with the fixin's. Desert included the DQ's pecan pies. On xmas day, we feasted on amazing filet steaks, with the DQ enjoying a nice Chilean sea bass. (Although, on tasting my medium cooked tasty morsels, the DQ uttered 'Hmm... I might have to rethink this whole no red meat thing...')

Then there were the gifts.

The obvious winner was the KP, who took home a sizable booty. However, she was more enamoured with lemons. Ah, if we would have only known! Could have saved some dough!

Next in the winner's column was yours truly. Santa truly spoiled the Editor this season. Unbelievable! First, he is blessed with two amazing women (aka, 'The Bitches'... one hottie and one cutie). Second, he got some serious booty. Some nice clothes, exercise equipment, an amazing new camera (which shot all the new digital pics), and a sweet wireless sound system for the house. He also was the recipient of his third board certification (although the timing of this email right before XMas could really have been bad).

He received his most amazing gift, his sixth publication! The DQ had secretly "Blurb"-ed the BY Universe and made a book. Crazy. I teared up big time over this one. Here is Mo now, lost in the amazing humor of the Editor. (Turns out that now the DQ has officially lost another bet. I have more pub than she does! But who's counting!!!)

What a great weekend! Man, I don't want to go to work tomorrow. For all the lovely pics, turn to the Snapfish link.

Merry Christmas

Ah yes, what a great great holiday!

Bring Back the Giggle

So there we were.... The DQ and the Editor... talking in our bathroom hallway.  I had the KP in my arms... (in the new "Driving the Bus" position... essentially facing outward so she can see the world).  We were talking about something dumb....  then the DQ starts talking about the KPizzle's day.

How she was fussy ... how she had this explosive poopie blowout...  Then, from out of nowhere, the KP smiles and lets out this giggle.  Oh it was soooooo cute. 

The DQ and I look at each other instantly.  KP does it again.  Absol-freaking-lutley adorable.

Then she stops.

DQ and I start dancing around like idiots, trying to reproduce the cuteness.  Nothing

We blabber, mumble, jumble, talk of poopie diaper blow outs.  Nothing.

Silence.

That's it! 

Bring back the Giggle!!!!!

Happy Holidays!

From the BY Universe!

I don't know what happened.... I was mesmerized!

Recovering from a Sick KP

Well, the past week, we've been enjoying the unsavory fruits of the wintertime in NC: the Common Cold.

We are not sure who caught it first, the KP or her Daddy, but we do know who got the brunt of it. In fact, she's still congested! She is improving, slowly. It is sort of cute to watch her little coughs. But, her milky snot buggers are not cute.

Also we thought we've seen it all with her eruptions. But we were wrong. Picture this. A recently fed KP begins a little coughing fit... then sneezes ... ( This sudden build up in abdominal pressure causes her cute little belly to eject its contents. Now these said contents have two pathways... up or down.... or for that matter, both. Oh no, you are thinking, she couldn't eject contents from both directions simultaneously... Oh YES SHE CAN!!! ) So back to her coughing... then sneeze... suddenly, she spits up her curdled milk, while simultaneously dropping a stinky gas bomb in her G-diapers. I wish I could have captured it on tape.... Hilarious.... except for the cleanup.

So, that is what we had to deal with all week. So, we thought the weekend would be a big break for us to recover from her snotfest.



Stay tuned

The Big Weekend Finally Concludes!

Well, the whole BY Family is in bed now. The KP and her Daddy have a little head cold. (I keep sneezing and she keeps coughing...)

We're beat.

All in all it was a phenomenal weekend. It was great from the beginning (booze and gumbo) straight through to the end (fixing the outdoor lights). All the pics we shot have been placed on the Snapfish account, for all to see. (Even a many new ones from before the weekend)

It was a great weekend for us to entertain our family and friends, show off the redone GM, and give the KP the 'Holy Bath'. (We don't have any actually baptism pics to show, but we now the cute ones are out there.)

I don't want to brag or nothing, but there were 3 babies gettin the Bath on Saturday. Each had their families there to cheer them on. All received their individual cheers and 'awwws'. But KP's moment in the Water received the biggest awww from the whole crowd! She sucked everyone in with her cuteness. True.

The whole event was quick and efficient as well as multilingual. Well... er... if you want to call it that. I don't think in my funniest moments, I could reproduce the accent with the words.

The booze flowed. The food was eaten. A good time was had by all (we think)...

Last minute random comments:

1. KP's name will be, from this day forth, be pronounced "Keymm-per"
2. Crack water is back! It was the dammed filter.
3. The groovy, cool white orbs on our lawn are now functional lights (Thanks, Uncle Greg!)
4. Ham is exhausted too.
5. The recycling people are going to think we're raging drunkard. (and there is still a lot of booze around the house!)
6. Now the weather is better!

Thank you (in no particular order) for making it a wonderful weekend: Ita, Wowo, Tia, Uncle Mike, Cousin Ella, Cousin Grayson, Lala, PawPaw, Gigi, Aunt Anne, Cousin Mo, Cousin Ash, Uncle Greg (aka the Godfather!), Aunt Elizabeth, Jackson.


PS: In the Catholic religion, from the Vatican Council of 1576, there is a little known clause that decrees the following: if a certain Goddaughter marries the Godfather's son, then the full wedding debt falls upon the Godfather. Thus it has been written!

It's A "Banish the S-Man Weekend!"

The roux is simmering.

The veggies are chopped and soon to be cooked down.

The GM has been Dysoned.

The yard has been blown.

The alcohol has been purchased... (man my wallet is 400$ lighter now!!!)

The KP is napping.


All for a BY Universe Baptismal weekend!

Stay tuned!
