Peek-A-Boo with Gwen

This is the first time that Gwen used a blanket to play peek-a-boo with us. She did it for so long that I had a chance to find the Flip Mino and record it. It makes me laugh so hard. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

The Jurbala Visit

We moved into our new home a little over 2 weeks ago and we have already had a visit from the Jurbala clan. Denise came and watched Gwen for 2 weeks. It was wonderful having her. She thought I was joking when I told her she should stay until August............I wasn't. It was extremely helpful to us, having her here. We can't thank her enough! Tim and Bill came last Wednesday. They got some quality time in golfing, helping us around the house, and playing with Gwen. Gwen just loves her grandparents and uncle. As much as we love family, we are ready to get back to a routine and to slow down. It has been a crazy 2+ weeks!!!

Gwen is great. She is so close to crawling. She needs to have a routine again as she is up at 5:45 every morning...........including weekends. I can't complain too much because she does go to bed at 8:00 and sleeps through the night. She begins her new daycare tomorrow and I have been holding back tears. I know I have to work, but I hate that I don't get much time with her during the week. I really hope someday I can move to the 4 day work week and have a "girls day", just her and I.

Nothing much to report. Here are some pics from the Jurbala visit!

It's been over a month since I have posted last and I know my readers (all 4 of you......haha) are anxiously awaiting pictures and updates, so here it is:

We have moved. We are now suburbanites. The move went really well and Gwen has adjusted amazingly. I couldn't be happier with my new home. It is extremely expensive to furnish a house that is 3X (no exaggeration) our old one, so there goes any money we made on our old dump........um, I mean house. I will be sending out postcards with our new address and home phone.

Gwen now has 4 teeth and will be 9 months old next week. She is getting so big and can't believe in a few short months she will be 1. I find myself feeling really sad, but loving her more than anything in this world. She is really the happiest/laid back baby. She makes me not want to have #2 since I know I would have the worst labor (mine was very easy) and would give birth to Lucifer....haha

Denise (my MIL) is visiting us now and watching Gwen for 2 weeks. We really appreciate the help and Gwen just loves her grandma.

Other than all of that, nothing more going on. I am looking forward to my parents visit in October and then our big trip to Cabo!!
