Bonjour my Sweet!

Well I'm sorry I've neglected you once again. I promise to be better. We've been some very busy bees lately. My dearest friend Emily came to visit last Thursday (7/23/09 if anyone is keeping track) with little Eleanor. She's my JM best bud turned real life best bud. And Jordyn & Eleanor and forced best friends in return. But they love each other none the less. We had a lot of fun. Non-stop fun actually which made for some tired mamas. We took the girls to a county fair, to the beach, to the Mall of America and out to dinner. They did great most of the time. Sunday morning they left to go back to Chi-town and a couple hours later Paul's parents arrived from Michigan. They stayed till this Thursday (7/30/09). Non-stop activity there as well. We went back to the beach, to downtown Minneapolis, the sculpture garden, on nature trails & back to the Mall of America. By the end of the week I felt like a hibernating bear ready to sleep a thousand winters. I'm finally getting back to reality before the bustle of August slaps me in the face. We're looking at one adventure to Iowa for a JM meet up and four visitors. That's a lot of bustle baby! Bring it on I say because it makes time here fly by. I haven't decided if that is a good thing or a bad thing yet. We will be moving to Texas at the end of October. Pro- we get to rent a house for a full year! No stupid apartments. Con- we have to live in Texas for a whole year. Heat + Us = Miserable. Oh well you do what you gotta. I'll probably be one lonely chicky while living there. Not many people have the money to fly to Texas. Boooo :(

On another note Jordyn is talking like a maniac. I knew it would happen one day just didn't think about it happening overnight. She repeats almost everything you say. She knows and recognizes emotions now. The other day I took her to the doctor and she kept saying "Mama I'm sad" and she didn't even get one shot. Nerd bird. Here's a little picture of my big girl!
