The nanny......

After several emails and phone calls....I must admit...maybe I made it sound too wonderful....the nanny is great, but I actually don't do spa day when she comes to the house. I hope to get to that someday....but for now...I take one and she takes the other. Jeff thinks this is insane...but I have Ian in lots of activities and it is way too hot for Jade to attend with us. I use her for Ian to do games, crafts, etc...the things that I used to do...preJade.
She is leaving us in the Fall to go back to nursing school, so I will be on my own again. I plan on unpacking more things, taking a nap once in a while, and getting together with friends. Ian has to be AT school at 7:45 everyday...I have to drive him so this means I will be very early....luckly Jade likes to rise anywhere between 4:30-6:00 a.m....did you read that...I am up everyday. I actually don't mind it...I guess it is my NEW life....oh well...Ian and I can always remember our 10:00 a.m. mornings in our dreams!!!

It has been a long time.....

Here a couple of quick photos.....Jade is great!!! She is always laughing....we just can't get enough of her. Ian dressed himself in 2nd photo...this is why I am glad he has uniforms again this year. The last photo is SNAKES....my son loves to catch things and bring them to his mother!!! I HATE SNAKES...do you understand!!!

I can actually write a little more..Jade is asleep and Ian is playing with the nanny...Jenna. Yep, I said the "N" word....I had to do it...I wasn't getting anything done around here with all these boxes. Ian and Jade love her...my niece also comes one day to help out with Jade while I run Ian to one of his 100 activities.
Let me tell you about Jade...she is so easy going...she loves to swing...she loves to laugh...she loves to be cuddled...she loves HER bed...not my bed. She is just the best. I some other photos of her that make her look like a girl rather than the one I posted, but this computer is giving me problems...so it will have to wait. She looks so much like Ian did...she is so much more low key..unless you don't have food...it can get ugly!!
Ian turns 6 on Monday. We are not having a party until July...yea...I won't be ready for it until than...he doesn't mind. He is getting an outdoor playset...he doesn't know it yet, but he will love it. I need to keep him in the yard...he rides his bike now without training wheels...ok...can you just say kill me...he is nuts on that bike. I don't know how he does some the the stunts but it makes me heart stop. I got all kinds of pads etc...nope...won't wear them...he does have to wear the helmet. I almost just wish he would wreck and get it over with...the neighbors we so funny...everyone is so proud of him...which makes him show off even worse.
Now on the the surprise...no...I am not pregnant. I miss England!! Me..I wanted to get home soooo bad and I love it here, but I miss my neighbors, house, trainer, gym, etc. I NEVER thought I would say that...but it is true. Well, that is enough for now...I will post the swingset soon...it is suppose to get put up this weekend.

Life is getting much better around here....

The boxes were/are a little much for me, but I am taking my time and going through EVERYTHING WE OWN. I haven't done it like this before...I can't believe how much stuff/junk/tresures....etc we have as a family. Anyway, it is all going to the auction, garbage, or goodwill. I have given up so many things...totally dumb things that Ian and Jade will throw out anyway after I die. I look at it as doing them a favor. Jeff has been throwing out all my stuff also...just not his stuff...that is happening VERY SLOWLY....he won't even notice.
Jade has a milk allergy...which is why I haven't posted photos...she got this horrible rash on her face...it was layers of dry/dead skin...we are off milk and on a special formula for her problem. She is doing much better...alot less crying and misery( that is for me also!!) She is growing everyday...well everyhour..it is that formula..she is almost 11.5 pounds at 7 weeks...Ian was that at about 11 weeks.
Ian has started golf lessons..he loves it. He starts Spanish/Art/Tennis/and science next week along with golf lesson. I wanted him to stay busy. I enrolled him in something each day for at least an hour...and than we will be swimming at Aunt Tammys house a few afternoons a week.
I will post photos of the house once I can get through it...I am not kidding..it is soooo bad!! I just get started on a box and Jade cries or Ian wants something...I figure I won't have any company until mid July so I can take this mess.
In one of the photos you see Ian in Jades crib...he loves his sister!! We were worried he may be jealous...not at all...he is doing great!! He always says she is just beautiful mommy...everytime we see another little girl he says to anyone that can hear that Jade is way...way cuter....we are working on this one.
