JACK is TWO!!

Today we had Jack's birthday party. He is such a big boy. He turned 2 yesterday. We had a beach ball birthday cake and had over some friends. It was a fun party and Jack really liked everything and everyone. He especially liked the new Thomas the Train book he got from my friend Mel. We haven't given him the presents from use because it just seemed like too much for one day. Jeff got to take the kids to the zoo this morning. I didn't get to go because I was doing a visiting teaching workshop, but it sounded like they had a ton of fun. This year we got zoo passes so hopefully well get out there a bunch. Laurie is getting so big she is my biggest helper. We are all starting to get anxious for our new baby, but we still have 4-5 weeks so we are trying to be patient. I am doing really good except for my clogged up nose. Its been stuffy for a couple days now and whenever I lay down its hard to breath and last night I got me a big bowl of cookies and cream ice cream and sat down to eat it and I couldn't taste anything. WOW!, how I learned to appreciate my since of taste. I ended up putting all the ice cream back because why would I eat something I couldn't taste. Jeff's still busy with school, but he did get to do some projects around the house and that made him super happy. AND me happy too! He put in a new microwave, a new dish disposal, and he put a outlet in our hallway so the kids can see to go to the bathroom at night. Thats about it for Virginia, the weather here has been a wonderfully warm 65 wahoo!
