Shutter Fly Christmas Card Promotion!

Anyone who knows me well knows that I love a good deal - I especially like getting free stuff (of course, who doesn't), so I was super excited when I came across a deal from Shutterfly to get 50 free Holiday cards. I have been endlessly searching for the perfect holiday card to show off my beautiful little girl (and my handsome husband!), and Shutterfly has so many cute holiday cards that I am having a hard time deciding which to pick to send out! They also do great photo gifts for the holidays like wall calendars and photo books (which I know from personal experience are easy to make, beautiful, and a great gift idea).

So if you are a blogger and are interested in getting 50 cards free too, check out this promotion: http://bit.ly/sfly2010 but you have to hurry because registration ends today and blog posts have to be in by the 15th!

If you're not a blogger but are interested in some great deals, cute gift ideas, or need to get holiday cards too, check these links out!

Seasons Greetings with Love!

From the Richard Family

I've decided to put aside the never ending house organizing to update the blog! We've moved into the house! We've been here a few weeks now and things are starting to feel alot like a home! Here are a few pics and videos of the girl lately. I've got some thoughts about my ridiculous consumerism, but those will have to wait till next time. Until then enjoy these.
We took some beach pic a while back and here are some of my favorites:


Here's a cute video of Gabriella figuring out her walker:



And another of her feeding herself. Cute!

Mama's Girl is on the Move!

So the little girl is on the move. She's crawling at the speed of light, at least it feels that way. Everytime I turn around she's into something else. And yes, I know this is only the beginning. We learned quickly to pick up Zoe's food and water bowls because those are a Gabriella's favorite things to attack right now, poor Zoe. Gabs has also learned a new sound, which I am very proud to announce is 'mama'! She doesn't use it to signify me yet, but it is her new trick, and I love it!

Here's a little video of her; Enjoy!

Go 'stros! (Again)

We went to another Astros game on Wednesday night! The girl loves watching those 'stros win! We went with one of our Peru friends, Shane. We were excited to see him and get to catch up. I also got to meet a guy that Seth currently works with, Mike and his fiance Christie (Kristi, don't know the spelling, anyhoo,). So we had a really good time. The Astros rallied late in the game with a 4 run inning and we had great seats to see it all!

And apparently watching baseball can be a bit tiring, and from the looks of it, Uncle Shane is quite cozy!

Having a chat

Just a little video of the girl having a chat with her ball, more specifically the lady bug on the ball; not sure what it was all about, but by the intent look in her face, I'm betting it was pretty important! HA!
