The dining room...
G said I need to put up a new picture because otherwise people will think he hasn't been doing anything... Well, we now have a wall, and he's been mudding/taping and maybe, just maybe we'll be priming and painting by next weekend. He also has filled in the old pantry doorway and framed out the new one, and it's got drywall and some mudd on it. I will be so glad when it's all finished.

Illness...
M was sick with a fever/sore throat for 4 days the week of the 14th, I was sick from this past Sunday the 20th until Thurs with the same flu-like symptoms and it sucked! I don't recommend anyone else getting this virus. It knocks you out for way to long.

New Baby Elephant...
Saturday we went to the zoo to see the new baby elephant. The girls were very sweet and J said "Hi Baby!" and M wanted to know it's name (but it hasn't been named yet). She looked so little hiding in her mamma's legs considering she was a whopping 341 lbs at birth.

J update...
On another note, J has learned to jump. She can actually get off the ground and land again on her feet. Friday was the first time I'd ever observed this new behavior and I'm quite proud of my big girl.

M update...
M's 1st full day of Pre-K is Monday and I'm thrilled. They somehow found room for her, I think someone left, and I'm so happy that I don't need to move her to another school. She visited the class last week and had a lot of fun. She's so grown up. She even wrote her whole name in all caps, first and last... YEAH!
