"Chimp" Car

Our yard sale find is a hit!

Jenna loves her car and is all smiles while riding.

She'll say "car" and "me" when looking for someone to push her.

Anyone

want to buy a house??

It's official. As of yesterday, our house is now on the market.

See what happens...

of note...

Two years ago today...I was very nervous and 4 weeks pregnant and decided to start this blog for our family.......

17 Months

Today - 90210 - Jenna is 17 months!

A brief Jenna update... Jenna says "Drew", "Here ya go", "Hi", "Ssssss", "Mooo", "More", "Baaa", "All Done", "Night-Night", "Golly-golly", "Dada", "MaMa". Jenna's still always on the go. She's always climbing higher and higher on table tops, on top of riding toys...you name it. Jenna likes to use her fork, and her toothbrush. She knows where to put the dvd into the player - not to watch a movie though, just to do it...... As Dave says, she's figuring everything out. She knows the popsicles the girls eat come from the fridge. She'll stand by the freezer and point and say "ma" until she gets her popsicle. Jenna's on a pretty solid schedule, still taking her one super nap in the middle of the day. All in all, Jenna is very easy going - just very, very busy.

House update.... Our offer for the new house was flat out REJECTED, mainly due to the fact that they would not accept our HTS Contigency, so on to a new strategy. More to come as that unfolds...

Restless Night

Last night, our realtor came over at 8pm. We signed many, many papers to put an offer in on a property we found. We've been searching for a few months now, for a one story home, with more space and more of a yard. Our realtor left here at 10pm, which is very late for us! While completing the paperwork, Amelia and Ava came down from their room. Super proud Amelia lost her second tooth (bottom center). We went to bed, while the girls were still awake and giddy in their room. We couldn't fall asleep either. We were very restless thinking about our offer, and with that offer being accepted having to prep this house for sale. The tooth fairy paid a visit at some point in the night...it's all a blur.... Jenna had a different kind of night - waking up screaming at 1:15am. This was odd, so I went in and sat with her in the rocker. She was perfectly content in my arms, but did not want to get out of my arms for 2 hours. We were all restless last night, but not Drew. He slept soundly. He had his restless night the night before - up until 3am.

We were hoping to hear something today about our offer, but the offer did not go in until late today, so maybe tomorrow. Could be some major changes coming soon...

Party Girl

Yesterday we celebrated Grandma's 70th Birthday at Legal Seafood in Bethesda. We had a great lunch with grandma, grandpa and Steve's family. We then went to grandma's house for cake. This picture was taken of an exhausted Jenna sleeping with her daddy here at home after all the festivities. It's rare for Jenna to sleep on anyone's chest - she's just too busy for that....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANDMA!!
