Cecilia Marie Halpert
What was I thinking?? I had to laugh when I saw Jennifer's comment after talking to her in church today. I can't believe I have not posted about this yet. Probably because I am busy rewatching it!! Last night was the 3rd time viewing it. I love this episode. It will probably be one I will rewatch a number of times. Some of the best moments and best lines came about. Here is what I loved!-JIM! or should I say John Krasinski. Man, he really won it. His acting was amazing. I mean, it is always amazing, but I loved this. His freaking out over Pam not going to the hospital was great, but I loved the scene in the car when Pam lets it slip that it is a girl. When Jim teared up, I totally did too!! It kind of reminded me of when Matt and I found out we were having a little girl, too. We were over the moon. But he was so great in that scene, one of his best moments.
-Michael had some great moments, too. Some great one liners. "I have to go wash my eyes." I was DYING! Also, when he scolded Phyllis for leaving the ice cream cake in the car and he was like, "GOSH, Phyllis, go, go GO!" And when he said to Pam's mom, "Love you too...as a friend." Her facial reaction was priceless. When he threw the keys. The list goes on and on.
-Meredith's "I have a shirt like that in my car." Totally inappropriate I know, but HILARIOUS!
-The baby slip up. You know, when she reached for the baby, that was my first thought!! No joke, I really called it. But then when they went to commercial, I decided must not. But it really was! Yikes.
-Oh some other Jim moments: when he was acting funny over the male lactation consultant. And his trying to "Push" the milk out. LOL.
Really I could go on and on. I loved that Dwight kind of gave Angela the cold shoulder at the end and I am hoping to see some more of ISABELLE! His comment in the cold open about waking up cradling gourds!!
Probably my favorite line of the night: KELLY: "and sometimes you poop yourself." speaking about giving birth. She was pretty disgusted. I had the same reaction when I heard that while first pregnant, TRUST.
I am going to publish this post then remember all sorts of other things I liked, it was a full hour (well, 40 minutes) of Office goodies.
I have mentioned this before but I LOVE Andy's character. His talking heads are so genuinely funny, even when he says regular old stuff. Like when he said he was spying on Erin and Kevin because he was jealous. The way he said it was just comical. I am glad he finally got around to asking her out. They could only draw that out for so long, even with how airheaded those two are :)
Here are two fun facts about the episode:
1. The guy who played the lactation consultant is actually Jenna Fischer's (who plays Pam) real life fiance. Neat, huh?
2. Jenna also chose the name Cecilia because her sister gave birth the week they filmed this epi and that was what they named her. Marie is Jenna's middle name. Another neat.
Here is their family blog, its a fun link~
Love to all!

Matt's Lyrics
Really though some are funny. Here are two from the past:
Counting Crows, "Big Yellow Taxi"
Matt's version: "It ain't paradise if you put up a parking lot."
Real version: "They pave paradise and put up a parking lot."
Shaggy, "It Wasn't Me"
Matt's version: "How could I forget that I had given her my SUV?"
Real version: "How could I forget that I had given her my extra key?"
(Sorry this song is inappropriate) :(
A few recent ones...
Taylor Swift, "You Belong With Me"
Matt's version: "And you've got a smile that could light up this hotel."
Real version: "And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town."
Carrie Underwood, "Before He Cheats"
Matt's version: "Carved my name into his Legacy."
Real version: "Carved my name into his leather seat."
This last one makes me smile as I picture Carrie Underwood dating a man who drove a Subaru :)

March 4th, where are you?

Mosaic Park
I think my kids look really cute. I guess I am biased. Nolan was going down the slide, just laughing his head off. They are growing closer each day. I love this.
Nolan is now 13 months, wait, what??? Yeah, that is right, where did the time go? Bubs is crawling marathons every day and starting to stand up. No steps by himself though. Maybe next month? His eating is getting better since I stopped giving him so much milk. He is sleeping really well at night, as long as he isn't sick! He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Baby Beethoven. He is such a happy boy and blessing in our home.
Reagan is quite the hilarious chicky. She loves all things Tinkerbell and rocking out to the song "I Gotta Feeling" by Black-Eyed Peas. She is also known to break out dancing when the intro music to The Office and NCIS comes on. We love this. She is our little singer and usually is giving her own performance to the other customers at Safeway and Costco. The other day she was picking out a "prize" at Chuck-E Cheese with her tickets and lo and behold, she picked the toy microphone. She sure loves Nolan and is quick to help me out with him. She still loves riding bikes and playing with her dolls. She needs a haircut, maybe my next post will contain more info on that.
How about The Office? Andy Bernard, aka 'Nard Dog, is sure pulling out the chops. He is stealing each episode for me, love his character. And Kelly, who like Andy used to annoy me, makes me laugh. I am glad Jim is through as co-manager. Next new episode, March 4th after the Olympics, is called THE DELIVERY....you can probably guess what that will entail. What will the JAM baby be called? We might need a new moniker for them. I can't wait for that episode, go fast rest of February! Speaking of other shows, how about Vampire Diaries, huh? I know I am probably speaking to only Bethany, Lindsey and Loni since pretty much no one else watches the show or will admit that they do ;) Poor Damon, poor Grams, Bonnie sure acted that one well. I was in tears at the end. I found the whole opening of the tomb anti-climactic without Katherine down there. But I do think the writers were smarty pants for doing that, it will open up many future storylines that will be most interesting. I have a feeling that we will meet Katherine one day...I just know :)
We ended up trying a new place for Valentines Day Eve (Saturday night). Elephant Bar, here in Concord. It was really good!! I think we found a new favorite place. Matt and I walked the mall and read books at Barnes and Noble. Our perfect date night :)
I was feeling a little nuts one day and signed up for a half marathon on June 5th. I am nervous and excited for this one. Two weeks ago I upped my runs from 3 miles to 6 miles overnight and since then, have had some knee aches. Runners knee, maybe? I took it easy, feeling good, strengthened my quads and now I will probably take it a bit slower and build it up. If you know any good running tunes, let me know, my ipod needs well over 2 hours worth of music!
Love to you all!

Television and Words of a 3 year old
Reagan held up a piece of fake ravioli and says "this got thrown at him." So I say, "well your the only one in the room, so you must have thrown it."
She insisted it wasn't her. "I do not know who threw it at him!" I guess it was a ghost.
The other day we were outside and passed a woman with a nose ring. Reagan says *loudly* "Her nose has an owie."
In other news, big TV night tonight!! All new Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, and my new favorite, The Vampire Diaries. I know, I am ashamed to admit it, but this show is really good and addicting and even my mom loves it!! Each new episode leaves me hanging with my mouth open and waiting with baited breath for the next 7 days till another one. There are so many plots twists and things going on and you just LOVE the characters. I can't explain it, just watch it for yourself. I know that many of the recent episodes are found online. The first 5 or so episodes are decent, but from 6 on get really really good. Tonight is episode 13, I can't wait. My sisters and I (and now my mom, right, mom?) analyze each episode Friday morning with each other and our predictions. No more said, just give it a shot. I think it is much better than Twilight. And also, it is nothing like Twilight, which is hard to tell in the first 2 episodes.
As for The Office, I just love the new Andy/Erin connection and dying to see where they take that. And I think that Jim will be getting a demotion soon, which will be nice. There can only be one Michael in the office. And he needs his old hairstyle, fancy new Jim isn't cutting it for me.
These are pretty much my only shows as of late. I gave up NCIS and The Biggest Loser for now since I got called into Young Womens and my Tuesdays are with the youth. A MUCH better trade, these kids and the women I work with are amazing.
Good times, good times. The kids will go to bed on time tonight so that I can devote my 2 hours a week to the tube.
