What a Weekend

So many happenings this weekend, and I apologize for no new updates and lack of postings. Life has been busy and crazy, and my time has been so limited. A couple of highlights:

I got a new job.
We got rid of some of our baby items.

Shocked? Well, that job that I interviewed for and wrote about did offer me a tremendous opportunity that I couldn't pass up. So, I'm taking it. That’s all I can say.

Additionally, we had some new friends over Saturday evening who are having a baby soon. New friends? Yes, I hope…they are such nice people. Hopefully, we did not scare them too much with our highly spirited children. But, I don’t think so. We had dinner with them and gave them some of the baby items that you quickly outgrow after the first year and are no longer needed. If you're wondering if Josh and I have decided not to have a third child, we still don't have an answer for that one. The conclusion of that particular discussion is yet to be determined, but it is something that we still do talk about. Let's just say that we aren't ready to make a final decision on that yet. Additionally, I parted with some of the girls clothes. Yes, it was hard, and I kept only the items that had meaning (well, to me anyway). A lot of those clothes didn't get much use, so I am happy to give them to someone else who can use them. And the ones that got stained and looked ratty after making their way through not one, but two little girls? A separate pile altogether. I’m not even sure if goodwill should get those.

Other than that, I saw the biggest tantrum I have ever seen yet coming from Miss Bea. We went over to our neighbor's house in the afternoon. Bea played her heart out with those kids and ran around forever. When it was time to come home, she wasn't having it. So we heard screaming for a VERY long time. It wasn't pretty.

Olivia is starting to say words and knowing what they mean. It is all the usual suspects: mama, dada, ba (balloon), baba (bottle).
