So.. Still can't find the camera so no new pics again today. I think that I am starting to realize that I probably won't ever find it and it is time for a new one.
The kids are doing great. Nolan is now walking. He started last night. He takes about four steps then sits down. He just turned 10 months yesterday so I think that this is early to start. And that means he will be getting into more things, especially his sisters toys. He is talking a bit more. He says dada, mama, ni-ni (for goodnight) and he also says more in sign language.
Lily is growing up so fast. It is hard to believe. Weds. she starts preschool one day a week and she starts dance class. We all are really excited. She loves our new neighborhood and looks out the window everyday for the neighborhood girls to come home from school then runs down to their house. They all love playing with each other. We just love this neighborhood and have made some wonderful friends. Lily has a sticker chart for good behavior and has earned lots of money(she gets 5 cents a star) so far so we have to take her shopping this week for her special treats.
We had a great weekend. Busy but good.Friday we went to the shop and visited with everyone. Lily had a class in the morning so Nolan had some grammy time while Lily and I went. Courtney and Bubba came up to visit us so we went downtown to the Nitty gritty for some chow in the evening when Chris got home from work. Saturday was filled with fun. Nolan and I went to my work picnic and Lily had some grammy and papa time. Which she absolutely loved. She came home with some pretty sparkly dancing shoes so she was in her glory. Chris had to work for a bit in the afternoon. Then we all went to a goodbye party for Angie, Chris's cousin. She is moving to Hawaii.(poor thing :)) There were so many kids there and they all had a great time. Lily was the only girl so the boys taught her how to wrestle in the sand volley ball court and play tag. They also built sand castles and we later found three of them playing with the beer keg. :) We didn't end up going to another party that we had planned with our neighbors because we were tired. We ended up eating at Rocky Rocco's,which we love and missed while in Iowa, and we ended up meeting Lainie, Ben, and Levin there. Levin and Lily played so great. She just loves him. Levins birthday party was on Sunday and we all went to that. He has a new power wheel truck that all the kids wanted to go in. They had fun riding in that and playing on the trampoline and swingset. Lily learned how to do a flip on the tramp. from a girl that was there who was in gymnastics. Little dare devil :)
So.. busy week ahead. Chris is off today, golfing now, then back to painting and pulling up carpet. I am taking Lily shopping for some things. Tonight we are going to Mom E's house for the Packer game and dinner with some others. Tuesday Lily is going to spend the whole day with her great grandma Jane (Mom E's mom) and they are going to have a special day watching movies and eating popcorn. She has been waiting for this for a long time. Weds we finally get carpet and Cabinets are shipped. Lily also starts school and it is our day to volunteer. (It is a parent share school). So Chris is volunteering for us because I have a meeting downtown in Madison. Uncle Denny and Grandma Erfurth are babysitting him at the shop. Thursday we need a relaxing day and Friday we are on the go again.
