Progress

We seem to have one of the few babies that doesn't like a car ride. That's right. Apparently there are babies who cry every time they get in the car - for the whole car ride - regardless if that ride is 5 minutes or 50 minutes. It's really awesome to have Jay crying and Navarre repeating the same line from a Disney movie (any princess movie - you pick and she can drop a line) over and over and over again.

Well, this morning I took Navarre to the sitter's house, and Jay was not only not crying for the ENTIRE ride, he was even awake. We get Navarre to tell us if his eyes are open, and when asked this morning she said, "Yep, they're open, and he's not crying."

Now, according to Google Maps, this drive is only 6 miles. However, I consider this tremendous progress.

I was totally, utterly, dead set against Facebook. I was a hold out - for a long time. Then I joined. And the creeping, wall updating, picture tagging, etc. began. As much as I use Facebook, it still annoys me. Until today. Finding this link posted by a friend of a friend, made it all worth it. Click here to enjoy.

Anyone with children, or married to a man over 35 years old, will appreciate this. Get ready to laugh your ass off.

I dare you

If you're having a bad day, I dare you to look at these pictures and still have that frown on your face.

Am I old enough to have been married for 6 years and have 2 children? I guess so.

Happy Anniversary, Jamie. Each year during the day on our anniversary I think about what we were doing at that time in 2004. Then I laugh when I get to the time in the day when the putt putt course attacked you.

Happy Birthday, Navarre

Navarre had a great 3rd birthday. Well, I say great, but she was in a bit of a mood for her party. She had a good time, but was not her typical social-self. I'm looking forward to things calming down for her during August. After this low-key visit from the Mays (whoo hoo:), things can calm down; she can go back to Lisa's more regularly; she won't expect a present or card every day; and not everything coming into my house will be bubble gum or neon pink with the Disney Princesses logo on it. Ahhhh, that will be nice.

Welcome to the par-tay

Right before 2nd birthday party - turns out she was sick

First birthday cake ever

Birth Day

Today is Navarre's birthday party with a bit of a slip 'n slide/kiddie pool feel to it. I think she is going to LOVE the slip 'n slide - given there was a fit on the kitchen floor this morning when I showed it to her and wouldn't let her slip and slide ASAP. Having to wait until after her nap for the party proved to be too much for the almost 3-year old. She keeps asking every day if she's three yet. I can only imagine her excitement when she will about to hit the double digits!

Navarre, I hope you have an awesome party and enjoy your 4th year on this planet with us half as much as you've enjoyed the first three.
