July 25 - Any Day Now


Happy Monday everyone. How was your weekend? Hopefully fab! We had a great weekend here in HHH (my new acronym for "hot-humid-Houston"). J.D. installed the new tub faucets in our master bath before he left for Germany so we now have a working toilet and tub. Yay! He is going to finish the shower fixtures when he gets back so we *should* be showering in our own bathroom by mid-August. Check my house blog (Our First Place, link is on the right) for pictures soon. I'm doing a happy dance in my living room just thinking about it! We still have a lot to do in there (shower door, vanity, mirrors, lights) but it finally feels like progress.

In family news, I think Luke is very close to walking. He was strapped into the cart at Target yesterday and somehow stood up and tried to climb out of the cart. When he's done eating/drinking in his highchair, he stands up and tries to crawl over the tray.
And most telling, he is not content when I put him down to crawl. He wants me to hold his hands so he can walk. He's also trying to push up into a stand from the sitting position. That little stinker!

In Julia Bean news, she has her first ballet/tap class tomorrow after school. She has to wear a black leotard, pink tights and black ballet shoes with her hair in a bun (that will be interesting..I tried to do a bun last week and she pulled it out immediately). She is VERY excited and runs around the house "practicing" ballet. I've been calling her 'Julirina Ballerina' and she giggles and says "No mommy, I'm a princess!" Unfortunately, JD has the camera so I cannot take any pictures, but assuming she likes the class and we stick with it, I'm sure we'll get a picture soon. She is also moving to a new gymnastics class this Saturday. She is currently in the parent/tot class but she can do everything by herself so it's time to move up to the 3/4 class. She's also excited about that.

Here is another picture of Jules in her princess dress (I snapped a lot of pictures when she was wearing this, she looked so beautiful I couldn't resist!):
