Crest White Strips

Okay, this is just too weird not to comment on....

After Eddie and I got married, a stock photography company approached our photographer (and us) about purchasing the rights to some of our wedding pictures. We signed releases and were done with it. We honestly did not think anyone would actually buy our pictures, and we were sure we would never see them pop up. Uhhh.... we were wrong.

A year after we were married, I got a call that someone saw my face in Town and Country magazine in an advertisement for Amatokin Skin Cream. I have never heard of it. My mom and I went out and bought the magazine, and sure enough, there was a FULL page picture of my face--yikes! The as then showed up in O, Vogue, and a few other magazines. I thought it was hilarious, and that we wouldn't see any more pictures pop up.

About a year after that, we had a friend from Atlanta call and say she was just at Phipps Plaza and in the Bloomingdales there was a display for Amatokin and my face was the back drop--!!!!! WHAT?

Two month ago, my mom's friend in Indiana called to tell her that on the back page of the hometown newspaper there was a full page picture of me in my wedding dress advertising a bridal fair they were having the following weekend-- ha!

And now, I got an email on Monday night from a friend that said she saw me on TheKnot.com in a Crest White Strips ad. I didn't really believe her, but in the back of my mind I wondered if there was a chance it was one of my bridal pics. She took a screen shot and sent me the pic... yup, it's me! The next day, my sister-in-law called me and said she saw the ad on people.com! haha

Here is the ad:



caaaaaa-raaaaaazzzzzyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! Who would have thought?? Makes me wonder where else these pictures are that we don't know about..... hopefully not on an ad for a leaky bladder or anything like that-ha!

New Tricks!

This has been a fun-filled, busy week for Mr. Cal! I have been trying to take lots of videos of all of the new "tricks" that Cal is doing.

He is trying reallllly hard to crawl. He is still a ways off, but he lays on the floor face down and pushes up and starts moving his legs like crazy. You can just see the wheels turning like he is trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B. There's a lot of that on the video! He will reach for something and then lose his balance and roll over to his back (usually cracking up as he goes).

On Monday, I sat him up on a blanket on the floor and then backed away. He stayed sitting up for at least 30 seconds! I was so excited! On Tuesday, I sat him down and then ran to get the camera. When I came back, he was still sitting and playing with a toy! I was very impressed! When he toppled over, he didn't even freak out; just rolled to his belly and started playing with another toy! Guess that's why we have carpeting!

Cal's last trick is in the swimming pool. At swim class on Tuesday, we had the babies go under water. It was SO much fun! Cal loved it! Eddie came to the class with the video camera and got some great footage of Cal swimming.

I pieced the whole week (okay, the past 2 days!) together into this video:


it's only Wednesday and it's already been a busy week :)

PS- Stephanie, if you are reading this, I had the BEST time at lunch with you and sweet Reagan today. Can't wait to do it again.....next month??? xoxo
