A long, long time ago, Jay signed up with the Air Force. The separation date they gave us was June 29, 2009. I remember, because that would be the day before my 33rd birthday, and I told Jay that what I wanted that year was a plane ticket home and a house (I'm totally low-key for birthdays, huh?).
And she's still totally worth it.
In addition to the museum, Alice had several other firsts this week. On Wednesday, we went to the zoo. It was horribly hot, so we only stayed an hour.
Normally we wouldn't have gone when it was so hot, but Jack had to see the dinosaurs one last time before the exhibit closed.
We also stopped by the butterfly garden and Jack got to work on a butterfly hunt.
Thursday was the first time Alice went to storytime. You can't really tell it from the one picture I took, so just take my word that she's in the storytime room.
And I didn't take any pictures while we were there, but Friday was Alice's first checkup. She weighed 9 pounds, 8 ounces and was 22 inches. When she was born, she was 8 pounds, 4 ounces and 21 inches, so she's growing quite well.
Today Jack got his first video game for his birthday--a Madagascar game for the GameBoy Advance. He thinks it is the coolest!
Alice went on her first trip to a museum today.
As you can see, she was really excited.
The kids inside--they were very well behaved!
Listening to the story...
Doesn't every baby have someone else's finger to chew on?
Today is our ninth wedding anniversary, and as I've mentioned before, we don't usually do too much for this day. Last year, though, we began to use our anniversary as a sort of birthday celebration for our family.
Did I mention that this pregnancy was harder than the first one?
