Updates

CALLIE-She is doing very well. She is still breastfeeding and is recently sleeping through the night again (thank the Lord!!!), since I have decided to stop nursing her through the nighttime hours. She had the stomach flu a couple weeks ago and lived. :) She is continuously practicing her independence and asking for boundaries, but is a very happy, healthy child. She is also very coordinated and I imagine her becoming a great athlete someday. We are very proud of her and enjoy her personality so much. She makes us laugh every day.

THE HOUSE-The reconstruction has begun. It is going well and Jamie is doing a great job staying on top of every aspect of it. We have ordered furniture for the great room and have made some layout changes that will be much more practical and aesthetically pleasing. I'm getting excited about picking out colors, fixtures, etc. and am anxious to see if my ideas will really come together in the end.

JAMIE-He is, as always, a very hard worker. He is constantly working at his job or the house stuff. But he does make time for his family too and we enjoy that precious time together. He recently had the stomach flu too, but made a full recovery and is back to his boyishly immature ways-love you babe. He has been doing well at work and still enjoys it's challenges and keeps Callie and I living happily and comfortably every day. Thanks for all your hard work Jamie.

ME-Not much to say...doing well. Still breastfeeding. Enjoying fun days with Callie and Brody, and Remi too. Playing some volleyball on Monday nights, still selling Art at Good Ju Ju once a month, enjoying playdates with friends, and excited to become an aunt again for the 7th & 8th time in the next couple months (King and Strickland families), and then a 9th time again in July (Brody's family).

REMI-Can't forget the Rem-dog. He is almost 7 years old now and has some arthritis in his hips. He has adjusted well to being most important baby, 2nd to Callie, and is very gentle with Callie and Brody. He loves to take walks, play fetch and do tricks for visitors. He is a very good boy and we love him lots.

Hope I can accompany the next update with pictures. Thanks for patiently waiting for a post. And thanks for coming to our blog to check on us.

Yay to posting! Glad to see you guys are back on board the blogging train ;) That's exciting about your house. I know the trouble of having a fire and probably losing some things due to smoke damage that you can't replace, the idea of totally redoing your house is so fun! I can't wait to see the finished product (neither can you, I'm sure!)
