Lincoln and I had a great view of the football game on Saturday night. But I think Lincoln was more interested in his fingers than football. He'll get there......

Groupon Love!
Just want to gush about my renewed love for Groupon! I've always loved Groupon - I mean who doesn't love a great deal. I've gotten deals on Pilates classes, a conceal and carry class, restaurants, a photo session, a trip to Jamaica.....they have everything!
Last fall I purchased a Groupon to have our vents and air ducts cleaned. I even bought the higher level to have them clean out our dryer vent. The deal expired in April, so in March I called to have it scheduled. They couldn't fit us in until May, so I put it on the calendar. When May rolls around, the company called and said they had to cancel, but to call their 800 number to reschedule. So I did. The customer service rep couldn't tell me why the appointment had to be canceled and then let me know they couldn't reschedule until July! July!! So I reluctantly put it on the calendar for the end of July. The day came in July that we had the appointment scheduled for, and we waited, and waited, and waited. They didn't show up. Grrr. I was getting really annoyed. So I called the company and the customer service rep says, "oh we have a note that they left you a message canceling the appointment." Um, nope, nobody called. But they politely offered to reschedule....again! I said, "sure I'll reschedule if somebody actually shows up this time." They promised to put a note on the file indicating that we had been rescheduled twice already and set a new appointment for the end of August. So you can imagine how surprised I was when, again, NOBODY SHOWED UP for our August appointment, again, without even a call!!!
The problem with the whole situation, however, is I've already paid for the service. Otherwise there's no way I would have bothered with this company after the first no-show! I didn't think there was anything I could do though since I had already paid for it.
Oh, and I tried finding this company online and I can't. Their name is "Quality Air. " But there are a ton of companies with that name out there. And I'm pretty sure they aren't a local company because whenever I called them to reschedule, they would ask what state I was calling from. So frustrating!
But this morning I called Groupon just to see what my options were. They were beyond awesome! They apologized for me having to deal with this company - they are going to revisit their agreement with them. And I will have a credit for Groupon by the end of the day! It may not seem like that big of a deal, but I literally thought I was just out $70! Yay!

Baby style
Baby clothes don't go of style, right?! Depends on the outfit maybe. But as I was getting Lincoln dressed yesterday morning I couldn't help but remember just how adorable I thought this long-sleeved bodysuit was when I bought it from Baby Gap.......TWELVE YEARS AGO!!! Ahhh. Crazy, right?! I still happen to think it's pretty adorable.
I managed to get a couple bags full of some pretty amazing deals when I worked there part time during college. Clothes would go on clearance and then plus my employee discount = score!! Some people thought I was crazy, but look who's laughing now! (nobody's really laughing - it's just an expression.) Most of what I bought back then were girl clothes, but I do have a good stack of boy clothes, although a lot of them are bigger sizes! It's fun to pull them out of Lincoln's drawer now and put them on a real baby!!!

Two Months
Look who is two months old already - time is just flying by! We are loving every minute with Lincoln. He is growing like a weed and changing every day. He loves to smile (especially at his momma), has the funniest facial expressions and absolutely LOVES taking a bath! He really is a good baby, and we are so thankful.

We Love Sleep!
Look who is all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after sleeping through the entire night - for the second night this week!! That makes his mommy SO happy! He slept from 9:30pm until 6:30am on Tuesday night and from 9:00pm until 6:00am last night. Yay! We'll see if he can keep it up and make it two in a row......or more!

Trip to the Zoo
We've been trying to enjoy our time together as a family before football season officially gets under way and enjoy these summer days before they're gone. So on Thursday we got all ready and headed out for lunch at Red Lobster and then hit up the Como Zoo in St. Paul. It was a gorgeous day to be outside and Lincoln was quite the little trooper - he did great and mostly slept all day, except to eat. He loves being in his stroller walking around!
Obviously Lincoln was super excited to see all the animals!
We found Nemo!
We obviously haven't quite gotten the hang of taking family "selfies" yet,
but we're working on it!
