The past few days...

Just an update on the past few days...
1. Claire and I enjoyed a lunch date with a few of my friends and their babies. My friend Erin had Liam in June. He, at 5 months is larger than my daughter at 16 months. She was convinced Claire was giving him the evil eye from across the table. Should I be worried? Perhaps an early feminist? Renee had her two month old daughter, Delaney, along and Claire loved her. She kept reaching out to touch her hand and looked quite concerned when Delaney fussed. Michelle also joined us and she is expecting her first in July. It was such a fun date filled with good food and great company.
2. We are gearing up for our big trip to ND. I've been packing a bit each night, but Claire seems to have a different idea of the process. She threw in a couple of "must haves" as she saw them and took out a couple of essentials as I saw them. I found her snow boots laying in her bedroom. I had carefully gathered up all of her snow gear for the big trip days earlier. Ugh! What a help!
3. Chris continues to do well. He had two days of training on the GPS system, which tracks military vehicles on and off base. His days are filled with training, eating at the chow hall and then working out. I am generally able to talk to him everyday which is nice. 1 1/2 weeks down, which leaves us with 6 months to go. Still sounds bad, but definitely better!

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
