From Monkeys To Motors!

Danica has been in Tennessee with her Mimi and Papa for almost a week now and so Jasper has mommy and daddy all to himself. Therefore, we thought what better time to transform his nursery into a big boy room. So out came the zoo animal theme and in came the cars, trucks and tractors and a twin bed of course! He slept like a champ the first night too! Danica was excited to here about the transformation, she wanted a picture of his bookcase to be sent to her : )
It has been strange without her and we all miss her like crazy but Jasper has been a joy! We are looking forward to meeting her at the airport in Wednesday and hear all about her trip: horseback riding, swimming, shopping, and Dollywood!

JUNE...Where did it go?

I would really like to get better at this blogging, I wish I had more time.  Speaking of time, does anyone know what happened to the month of June?  We have had a great month at our house.  Danica and I got to spend our birthdays at the Lake and then were home for about a week before I started my official 2 week vacation.  We began with a long weekend at Bull Sholls Lake with some friends of ours and then we drove home and simply enjoyed some R & R at 302 Burdick and a few day trips here and there! 
I did manage to give my kitchen cabinets a much needed face lift but as we all know one project morphs into another, and yet another.  So eventhough I accomplished one Summer goal I still have a couple more to tackle! 
Danica had her 4 year old check up last week and was over  95% in height and weight.  She is 44 inches tall and weighs 46 lbs.  All was good with her, we seem to battle allergies a bit so we are experimenting with trying some allergy medication for a month and then taking her off for a month to see if that gives her any relief. 
Jasper is potty trained!  And, I may be the minority but he was easier than Danica : )  However, I am not sure prying the binky from him will be quite as easy.

  Sibling love--and this is on the way home from the Lake--I hope it is always this way.

  Potty Treat!  No accidents all weekend, including the car trip!
