Ike and I spent last night and most of today in Raleigh for a friend's wedding. We had a great time, but wow, what a whirlwind trip. Thanks for letting us be a part of it, Wendy. The service was beautiful, the reception was fun, and our hotel room was kid-free. :)
While we were gone, Annie started driving.
Well, that's not entirely true, but she DID start crawling. Papa was the first to see it happen, then when we picked the kids up tonight, she was crawling quite a bit. She seems to drag one foot along behind the other most of the time, but the girl is crawling for sure. Jake was 10 months old before he crawled (quite possibly because I never put him down...), so I wasn't ready for this yet.
Jake has had his own new first this week. First, second, and third, actually. Jake is now showering. He tried a shower instead of a bath for the first time Thursday night. When I asked him if he enjoyed the shower, he said, "I LOVED my shower! I want to shower every day for the rest of my life!" Good sign...he'll be clean.
Ike got a new job yesterday, too. He'll be script supervising (I think I can make that a verb...) a movie in Winston-Salem for a few weeks, then he'll be working for the City of Greensboro at their tv station. These both are very good things, so we're excited about the future.
Between Ike's new job(s), Jake's cleanliness, Annie's mobility, my new business...How in the world will I fit just this one month in the Christmas letter this year??

Wow, you guys have been busy! I can't believe little Annie is crawling! Man, it feels like only yesterday that I was coming to the hospital to see you after she was born. Ok, now I just HAVE to come up soon to see you guys. After all, Annie is somehow part mine with the red hair and all ;-P

FYI, for anyone wondering...The deleted comments were just repeats of the first one. Don't want anyone to think I'm denying a friend the right to post. Just not to post over and over, right, Brandee? :)
Thanks! It let me take one off, but not the other. Grrr.
How exciting! All of that is great news! I am especially excited for Ike and his new job responsibilities! It seems like things are really coming together for you guys! I love to hear that Jake showered! And sweet Annie is getting to be so big! I loved watching her try to climb out of that rocking chair the other day, she is very adventurous, so her crawling does not surprise me a bit! She is going to be the one you have to watch out for!! What a happy girl too!
So glad you all had a great time at the wedding :-D

It sounds like you guys are having a great month!! So many new exciting adventures. I hope Ike likes his new jobs and maybe Jake can talk H into taking showers too! Go Annie!
Wow I can't believe Annie is mobile! How exciting! That's great that Ike has found a new job also. Looks like August is going to be a good month :)
Way to go Annie! I can't wait to see her on the go! Great job Jake! You are really a big boy now!! And Ike you did a good job too! Congrats on the new job! Sounds like you will have to write a christmas book instead of a letter!
