Summer!

Last year at this time I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach because the end of one school year meant the time was ticking to when I had to return to work. Yesterday was the last day for Miss Cindy's until August and I thanked her for allowing me to never worry that Juliette wasn't in good care. She loves Cindy and the other kids. So now we begin our time together again and I'm very excited. She's already had a few "beginning of summer" treats from mommy and daddy--including a lollipop. Now that she will be home with us again, we've got to remember not to leave anything out on the counters that looks yummy to her including but not limited to: lollipops, crackers, cone boxes, pretzels, chips, gatorade, cookies, chocolate, etc...not that these are regulars at the house. Josh brought home a huge bag of the dum dum lollipops he didn't give away and somehow Juliette knew exactly what they were. She's not allowed to have those ebcause they pop off the stick too easily so I gave her one of the organic suckers we had and she was perfectly content. She was sitting with Josh licking it when she started calling out to me as I dried my hair this morning---WENDY WENDY. Oh that is going to have to stop. We have no clue how she learned that since Josh doesn't call me that around her and I don't think many others do either--I am strictly Mommy.

This afternoon when I get off work- yeah I've got to work until 12:30--sucks, which is why I'm doing this update now--we are heading down to Westmoreland for John Ellis's fifth birthday party. Then who knows....IT'S SUMMER!!!!

Excitement!

We are very excited for our friends who welcomed their little boy on Monday- Christopher Edward Evans, Jr- Eddie for short. We get to go visit him tonight while Rachel watches Juliette. On the Juliette newsfront, she totally knows it's summer and time to be outside mre than inside. It's the first thing she says when we get home until she realizes it's dinner time. When I pick her up from Cindy's she'll ask for the pool and at home she will bring us her bathing suit and water shoes. It's so cute.

On the Long family news update- we got an offer accepted on a house. After 2 years of looking and seriously looking since this past February, putting on offer on two houses, we finally got lucky. The new house is in a very pretty neighborhood and is closer to where we do most of our activities. It's not much bigger than our house even though there is an extra bedroom and bathroom. In our current house the master bedroom, kitchen, and dining rooms are huge, but in the new house we are trading those larger spaces for larger living areas. The yard is also huge, level, NO LEAVES, and has a privacy fence. Now we just have to wait for everything to go through- keep your fingers crossed.

Friends

Tomorrow Chris and Kelley will welcome their little person into the world! Can't wat to meet him!!
