4th of July weekend
We spent 4th of July weekend in Mt Home at Norfork Lake. We met some awesome friends up there - Patrick and Kristen Murphy. And then my cousins - Richard and Kristy Wright and their two boys Richard Wayne and Brody, Bart and Sarah Wright, Kelsey Wright and their parent's Butch and GiGi Wright. There was plenty of fun in the sun and swimming in the lake. Jane Ellis was awesome! Bless her, she was exhausted by the end of the weekend but sweetgirl loved the water. And as long as she had some snacks and her water she was set.
And we're off!
Friday, July 1st - Jane Ellis is officially a crawler! Now, she's been mobile for some time, scooting around on her little belly... and her favorite thing to do is get on her hands and knees and push her butt up in the air so that she's on her toes. It's very cute, and she always smiles and seems very proud of herself. But back to her crawling- we were actually packing to go to Mt Home for 4th of July weekend, she was in our bedroom floor playing and I was in the bathroom, she kept whining for me and I just got down in the floor and said "no, maam, you come to me!" So she did! lol Cutest thing I've ever seen! She hasn't stopped since!

Happy Father's Day.... to a daddy of 2!!
Soooo, here's the story:
Friday night I went out with some friends from work to say a final farewell to a great friend and co-working, Jessica Schmitt. I had had a few drinks and we were all talking about babies, and being pregnant- and not being pregnant. On the way home, I started to think about how I'm still nursing JE, how she's almost 7 months and how I still haven't gotten a period (sry boys!) Anyway, I couldn't get the thought of making sure I wasn't preggers out of my head - so on the way home I decided to stop off at walgreens and get a test. I didn't say anything to Robert because I just KNEW it was going to be negative. We were taking precautions - even though I wasn't on anything- JE was still nursing and I hadn't started. WELLLLL, apparently God had other plans, because it was positive. Now, I'm not going to lie, we were less than thrilled - very upset would be the word. This was not in our plans. But not just that, I really wanted JE to be the only baby for a while. I feel like I work so much already, that I want all my time to be given to her. However, the more we thought about it and talked about it, the more excited we became. Now there would be 4 cousins - all under the age of 2! And I loved being close in age to all my cousins growing up. So we started to make some plans - we're selling the house and moving out to my grandma's house - oma's. This will eliminate our mortgage and allow for me to eventually go part-time! I'm so stinkin excited about this - however, it's going to be a HUGE adjustment. The house is much smaller, the closets are much smaller, the master BR is much smaller. But- it's a sacrifice we're willing to make to save some money! Anyway, we decided to tell our parents that weekend since it's father's day weekend. They were thrilled! So, next step- find out how far along I am. I went to the doctor that next week, we found out I'm 8 weeks and due Feb 7! I just can't get a summer baby! Oh well! Bring on my valentines baby!!
