Fireworks

Wow, its definitly been too long since I posted last. Sorry guys. We have been very busy. Last weekend we were in WV for Kristin's graduation from WVU. The ceremony was very nice and not long at all. most graduations are horribly long, but this one was not bad at all. Gigi of course refused to sit still so tom and i took turns in the Hall with her. Along with every other parent with a toddler. Gigi made a little friend named Isaiah. I have noticed thats a very popular name for little boys. very cute.

Sleeping away from home is looking to be an issue for her. Any advice on this would be helpful. We took her pack-n-play and her "sounds" (a sound machine that is on all the time when she sleeps) and her blankie of course but she STILL refused to sleep in it. She has never for one second slept with us in the bed until last weekend. it was the only thing we could do to calm her down. once she was in bed with me (poor tom had to sleep in the pack-n-play! hhaha just kidding, he slept in the other bed. but just picture for a min, a 6, 5 dude sleeping in that lil thing. hehe) she fell right asleep. she also refused to sleep in it for naps. so tom and i put her in her car seat and drove around for 1.5 hours so she could get a nap. needless to say it was a very long weekend for us.

here are some pics.

I made this shirt for Gigi to wear to both her aunts graduations. on the back of the shirt it says WV and DJO.

This weekend we are celebrating Memorial day. and the pool opening! very excited! Last year Gigi had her casts on so we couldnt ever take her outside due to her getting over heated. So this is really her first summer outside. She's not diggin the grass too much, but we are hoping that changes.

Yesterday was the Ashburn Farm Summer Kickoff. They had a band and robecks and beer. We went with my prego friend Karen (who is due July 5th!) and her sister. It was very nice just to sit and talk. here are some pics.

Gigi was Quacking at the Duckies. By the way, can I get some props for keeping that pale skin PALE!? thank you! Im a tad obsessive about sunscreen but if you have ever seen my pale baby you would understand why. :)

more later.
