It has been a while

So much has been going on.  Nathan is growing like a weed!  He is now almost 9 mos old and is crawling. He eats almost all table foods and self feeds now.  He got his first haircut today too, to get rid of the old man hair that was long around the edge of his head.  LOL  He is so much happier now that he can crawl because when I leave the room, he just follows me, even if it is to the bathroom.  Lexi is good. She will be 5 this week. I can't believe my baby is going to start kindergarten in a month!  Her last day of preschool is on her birthday.  We are having a party here for her, even though it is looking like we will have a poor turnout.  We will make it fun no matter what.  After her party, she will be flying home with Nana and Papa and staying with them for a week.  On Wednesday, Nathan and I will be packing up the Camry and heading to LA ourselves.  We will stay at Nana and Papa's for a few days and then head to LB and stay with my mom for a little over a week. I am sure there are more birthday celebrations to be had in CA!  Lexi doesn't know it yet but I am taking her to Disneyland along with her best friend and her family (who happen to have passes so it works out great)!  She is going to pee her pants with excitement!!!  I can't wait.  It will be Nathan's first time too.

Well, aside from all of this excitement, I am starting a class in Aug. as well.  The local community college is a little tough to figure out but I am sure once it starts I will do ok.  I also started a home business called Crafty Kelli's Baby Accessories (name is NOT final) and have been sewing my little heart out.  I love to do this and can't wait to work my first Farmers Market when we get back to town in mid Aug.
