Life is GOOD!!!

Greg was here for the last week - gosh it was soo nice! He left yesterday.
But before he left we took the kids to Wild Rumpus. It is a bookstore in Minneapolis for kids. It is a ton of fun. Not only can the kids run around and play with toys and books - but they have animals running around. They have cats, a chicken, tons of birds, lizards, a rat and a tarantella. (Obviously the last few animals on the list are caged - otherwise we would not have gone there!)

This is one of the resident cats, the other is a black and white. I am not sure of his name.
This is the resident chicken. His name is Elvis. He was just walking around. The first time he came walking towards Danny, he jumped up on a chair. Then after that Danny walked up to him and petted him. He is VERY soft. Kind of odd to think he is a chicken. Greg even pet the chicken - he must not be allergic to the ones that are still running around! L0L



The door to come and go has a kid size cut out. The thought that was so very cool. A door that was just their size.

Then here is the best news of all:

It is 99.9% official!! Both Brad and I signed all of the paperwork yesterday allowing me to move with the boys to Arizona. We are now only waiting for the Judge to sign it to make it 100% official - but that is the easy part. This means that the boys and I are moving the last weekend of July. YEAH!!! I can't think of a better birthday present (July 29th) - well, diamonds are still good! ;-)

Gerald Shepardson has passed away.

Jennifer is a bit preoccupied with assisting her sister with the formalities of the passing of a loved one, so I hope I don't do any disservice to his memory by writing this blog post. Gerald, Gerry, or Papa Bear as Jennifer lovingly called him, is Jennifer's father. I believe he passed away on June 24th, 2008. He was 80. Grandpa Shepardson was a very talented man, a concert-level pianist and very intelligent. He did a wonderful job of preparing Jennifer to marry me, because he loved music, photography, thrift shopping, "STUFF", dry humor, bad puns, reading, sharing the knowledge of his passions, and sarcasm. I love him and was sad to hear of his passing. I'm not sure if I expressed to Jennifer my admiration for her father, but I certainly hope she knows that I have always felt him to be a kindred spirit from the day I met him face to face. We love you Papa Bear! You will be missed.

OK I know 4 months isn't really very old...but I am sad that she is growing up at all! I am having so much fun with her! She is happy ALL the time. There is nothing better than being woken up to her talking in her bed in the morning. She doesn't roll much yet - mostly when she is mad. But it's coming. She is VERY strong and it probably won't be long before she is sitting on her own. YEAH!! Isn't she just dang cute!! (I realize I am a bit biased....I say this often don't it) LOL

Her first solid food.....well kind of solid

BEFORE THE FEAST: AFTER THE FEAST: Jilly had her 4 month doctor's appointment today. She weighs in at 13 lbs. 4 oz. (45% of average 4 month olds) and is 25 inches long (80% of average four month olds). She is tall and thin.....not a bad way to be. :-) So after her check up (and the shots - poor thing) the doctor said she was definitely ready for cereal. So we came home and gave it a try. She wrinkled her nose a lot and everything came out at least once before she figured out that she should swallow it. But she was (is) dang cute doing it!! So, now we have a new fixture in the dining room....the high chair. YEAH!!
