20 months already

Watching for the birds to come out

Hopefully new house to come

Yes it is hard to believe we are quickly approaching having a 2 year old for a child. Analise has grown up so much in the last few months. The last few months have been rather busy, I took a fall in early April which hurt my back enough that I could not walk for a few weeks. So Jesse took Analise and I to Eugene first to be cared for by my grandparents and then they took us onto Salem and there we stayed for about 6 weeks. It was a long time to spend away from Jesse and home but was so grateful to have family willing to help out and take care of Analise for me so I could rest. We quickly were spoiled by the fact of having so much family near by and Analise always had a cousin to play with. Her cousins also taught her how eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which I am thrilled about. She would never touch one before which made quick lunches not so quick.

Since I have been home settling back into regular life we have bought a house (pending the final inspections this week) and so will be finally moving around July 5th into a real home where I can finally unpack boxes and Analise can have a yard to run in. It has been a long year in this tiny apt with most of our things being stored still in madras. We do still have the house in Culver also but have great friends renting it so we are just going to wait and see what happens there.

Some changes for Analise, she talks constantly and has a mind of her own. My dad thought it funny while we were in Salem saying I am getting paid back for my behavior as a kid. She is a go getter which is sometimes a bad thing. Such as last night she was ready to brush her teeth while I was still picking up her bedroom so she went into the bathroom got her toothbrush and started brush. Now normally I would love that she took the initiative to get ready for bed herself if I did not walk into the bathroom and realize she was dipping her toothbrush into the toilet and sucking it off since the sink was not on :o)

Summer weather is finally here so we have been spending most of our time at the park and feeding the ducks at Klamath lake. Jesse is still loving his job. June 1st will be his first year done so he has been busy testing on various subjects, and getting lots of overtime lately also. Well hope this gets everyone caught up a bit. Blogging will be much easier now as Jesse got me a laptop for mother's day so we finally have a working computer at home.
