Char-baby turned 1! She is now walking. And, running. And, talking. Okay, she says "More" and "All done" and occasionally mimics what we say. She's at the fun age where she understands way more than she can say. She moved up to the Toddler Room at school. The teachers are great and they LOVE her. They all call her Char-baby (our nickname for her) and one teacher even admitted that Char-baby was her favorite. She still is one of the happiest kids around...but I'm a bit concerned about her terrible two potential. Occasionally, she will THROW herself on the ground if she doesn't get her way. Awesome.
Adeline finishes up kindergarten in a few days. She really did love school. She joined the Environmental Club and was in Daisy Scouts, too. She also just got accepted to the gifted program for Math.
Elizabeth will be soon be a third-grader. Earlier this spring, she got four baby teeth pulled (per the orthodontist. She was a total bad-ass about it...basically not needing pain killers after it was done (though I certainly needed a stiff drink after watching it all!).
The Girls love being in day care. I was worried about them after the nanny left...but they love hanging with their friends and have made us leave them there and pick them up later. They also had a spring recital for ballet. I'm hoping that we're moving onto another activity other than ballet in the fall...not that ballet isn't fine. But they don't love it and it's a big pain/time commitment for them not to love it.
John and I celebrated ten (10!) years of marriage in April. We've been together for 14 years. To celebrate, we headed to Mexico with our friends, Sean and Autumn. It wasn't all smooth sailing...apparently John's passport expired in 2009. We found this out 12 hours before our flight...at 8PM...on a Friday night. So, we had to push our arrival back a few days. Luckily, we were able to extend by one day on the end...so we didn't lose much time.
And me? Well, I'm doing pretty well. I'm working on a project that has kept me fairly busy, and I really do like my job. Unfortunately, I have yet to lose my pregnancy weight from Char-baby (and I might have added a few pounds as well).
