what's new

sorry, I took a short hiatus from blogging. There's been so much going on and we got back home from Pa on Monday. I've been nonstop with the unpacking, laundry, putting clothes away and cleaning my nasty house. James is rather messy. You know it's really bad when he hires a cleaning lady to come clean my house on the day I come home from the airport and I didn't even notice anyone had been here to clean. I was like, "What did she clean? I can't tell a difference!" It must have been REALLY bad. So that's what I've been doing since I got home. Plus Lana is bringing home her new boyfriend this weekend for us all to meet. I'm anxious and excited! However, I must state that he is an Auburn fan (strike one) and Lana is taking him to the LSU/Auburn game tomorrow. I think she's also making him sit in the student section....poor guy, he doesn't stand a chance.

Moving on....so Jackson has this nervous hair twirling thing that he does. He mostly does it when he's in the car and Charlie is screaming his head off and we can't do anything about it. Anxiety anyone? Last night I had to cut a chunk of his hair out because he twirled it so much it got matted and too tangled to get out, even with a massive amount of hair conditioner. My aunt suggests we buzz his hair. I just don't think I'm up for that. However, I'd rather him not walk around with a bald spot on the top of his head either. More updates on that later....

My sweet (and messy) husband surprised me Monday night when he picked us up at the airport. We were walking out to the car in the parking garage and I said, "Where's the car parked?" He said, "Straight out there"....so I'm walking down the aisle or row or whatever it's called and I don't see my car...I walk past this beautiful Toyota Sequoia and the lights start flashing and the car is being unlocked from a remote control that is in the hands of James! I said, "James Gilmore. Did you buy me a new car?" His beaming smile was priceless and I'm the luckiest girl in the world. He's too good to me:) This car is massive! We can't wait to take it on a road trip next weekend to Montgomery!

That's all for now....I'm still trying to potty train Jackson. If I leave a diaper off him and let him just go naked, he will go in the potty all day long. As soon as I put that diaper on, he poos in it. Little Stinker!!! I guess I need to just buckle down and get more serious about it. Have a great weekend!!!
