It seems like it's been one whirlwind of events after another. I've finally been able to catch my breath. I don't even know where to start.
One day I went in to get her from her nap and this is how I found her. I call her my little reading lamanite queen.
My little/BIG brother graduated from SCHS at the end of May. Aria warmed up to all 3 of her great grandparents. Aria was so good, despite the fact that we got up at 6 AM... Aria usually wakes up at 9AM.
Isn't he handsome?
For those who don't know, we moved. In the process we broke the famous 'La Salad!' bowl. One of those wedding gifts that you can't take back so you just learn to laugh at it and use it whenever you're eating salad.... Pretty hilarious. I have a picture like this with my piggy bank, so I made N8 make a sad face while I took a picture of this memory. Next time you see him, compliment him on it. It took an insane amount of takes to get this face....
Aria LOVES her new house. I had nightmares that Aria would get to our new house and cry and say 'I want to go home...' and then I would have to say... 'we are home....' But anytime we're down by our old apartment's neighborhood, she freaks out and says... 'I want new house!' The stairs are definitely keeping me in shape.
Right before we moved in, we found out that an awesome buddy of ours passed away. He really meant a lot to us. Brigham was someone who taught us what life was really about. We are grateful for the time we got to know him. He was 14 and died from a lysosomal storage disorder. We still talk about his mannerisms often. I think of him every time we sing the primary song 'Jesus came to John the Baptist..' He sang it at the top of his lungs in the most beautiful raspy children's voice and accent I have ever heard. He loved singing time and pushing Ellie. I love my family. Thanks for letting us come and visit, Will and Tabi, Sam and Sarah. We had a great time with you.
Shortly after we moved in... 5 days after... Mama and Papa Pettit came to visit. Aria warmed up to them really fast. We played peekaboo...
went to the park...
Ate out, went shopping, saw phantom which was AMAZING!!!! and Papa Pettit made us a gardening planters box. It's so AWESOME! I already have cucumbers and cantaloupe sprouting through the soil. My tomatoes are starting to thrive and I'm so proud of my garden. Come over and I'll show it off any time you want. At my old apartment, I tried to do tomato plants in pots at my old place and I got one cherry tomato from my efforts. This is Aria, right after she ate it while it was still green. I just love that face.
Two of my good friends had their babies in the past two weeks. I've been baby sitting a lot this week. I took Aria and Juliet to the Lied Children's Museum. We had fun. A little bit difficult having two independent 2 year olds, but they were very good about sharing and loving each other.
finally, Nate got his board scores. a 91! I'm so happy for him. He worked so hard! He deserves every point he earned!
