It's Been a While

Hi there, its been a while. We've been so busy since we returned home from Texas. I know that's not an excuse, its the truth plus my computer contracted a virus right before I left and we haven't had time to fool with it since so my computer access has been limited also. Wow, lots going on! We closed on the house, all of that is final and we're totally moved into Mary's house next door. Its cozy but comfortable. I was trying to study for the GACE I & II tests and help pack/move at the same time. I took both tests last Saturday and I feel pretty good about them. I won't find out my unofficial scores until February 9Th. I start a Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program Tomorrow. We will attend class every Saturday for 6 hours, there will be a break in the summer and then when the kids resume school in August we'll continue with a 3 week practicum and then 15 weeks of student teaching. I will be finished December 15Th.
My birthday is Sunday, Matt is taking me to Las Vegas......Part of it is for my birthday and the other part is to partake in some of the builder show. So like I said, "we really have been busy"!
Genevieve is growing like a weed. She is soo tall and her hair is getting long. She's talking alot more than she was at Christmas even. She goes to Little Gym on Fridays with our friends daughter Allyn Marie and that's a good way for her to get out and socialize. I'm ready to get her started in a (pre) Pre-K Program, she's dying to be around other kids.
Well that's all the news I have for now, I'll definitely have some pics when we get back from Vegas!!

Hey it's almost my birthday?

Yes that is right, its almost my birthday. I'm going to be 25!! That's great right? Anyways, aren't these pretty? I just LUUUUUUUUUUV them!!!

I have loved these dishes since the first time I saw them. Lets see....it was 1997, that would make me 14, I was a Nanny for some rich folks who lived across the street from the Dallas Arboretum. Yes, I was 14 and had my drivers license.... I've never been one for florals but when I laid my eyes on these babies I was In Love. Anyways....If anyone needs an idea of what to get me, Huuuuhuummm, it's Portmerion Botanical Dinnerware! Oh, and you can get it at Macy's!

Made it!

Well, we made it back to Atlanta around 12:45am. I have lots of pics from our visit to Texas however my computer has a virus so I'll include some pics as soon as I can.
Hope everyone had a great holiday!!

She's Met Her Match!!

On Saturday Mom, Genevieve and I went shopping and ran into her good friends Bill & Robin Mote. They had their grand daughter Katherine with them who's 4 years old. I think Genevieve met her match! She drug Genevieve all over that restaurant, they giggled, screamed and had way too much fun. I think Katherine could have actually worn Genevieve out! Silly girls!!

Domino Art

I've been seeing these Domino pendents everywhere and found a class that was being given at this bead/yarn shop I like to go to in Crabapple. The lady giving the class was teaching a technique using rubber stamps. You then layer with alcohol inks, chalks and markers.

It was lots of fun, I actually made two others but I gave those away to friends/neighbors. I wish the picture was a little clearer, anyways you get the idea.

FUN, FUN, FUN!

Made it to Texas!

Well, we made it to Texas safe and sound. I had a birthday golf tournament to play Friday morning and then it was GO, GO, GO like crazy to get to the airport. Our plane left a little late but arrived on time? .. Genevieve handled the flight pretty good considering she hasn't flown since she was 9 months old. Then she was still young enough to sleep during the entire flight (no luck for any of that these days). I packed lots for her to do and she stayed relatively busy...The poor guy next to us woke up covered with stickers but he didn't mind ;)...He thought she was "precious"!
We've been shopping and trying to get ready before everyone else gets here, looks like we're just about there. We'll probably be heading back to the ol' "ATL" Sunday. We've got to get busy packing, we're supposed to close on the 9th now
Hope everyone has a Wonderful Holiday!!!!
Merry Christmas,
Jessica

Christmas Countdown

Genevieve and I will be flying to TEXAS (Dallas) Friday December 19th for Christmas!!!! Matt, Mary & Katy to follow shortly after!

Going Once....Going Twice.....

Yap! After much deliberation at the negotiating table our Awesome Realtor helped us close the deal!......The house has now been on the market 5 months, not too shabby considering the current housing situation...Keep our fingers crossed that all goes well and we close on January 15th like planned!
They want to close on January 9th Now!!!!

Hmmmm....I don' t want to know?

Hmmm......Some where between putting her down for a nap and running around the house putting up Christmas decorations somebody decided to get "NAKED" and it wasn't ME!

She seemed to be taking an awfully long nap so I decided to go ahead and get her up, we had an errand to run before if got too late. Now, I had been checking in on her via the monitor, however it doesn't always show things in such detail.....

To my surprise she was totally naked except she was wearing a sock on her right foot and one on her left hand, "go figure"?.....Now keep in mind, she wasn't the only one who was naked.....one of her baby dolls had been de-clothed and Mr./Ms. pony was also with-out his/her saddle??????? Like I said, "I don't really want to know"

Happy Birthday Uncle Chris

Happy Birthday Bro!!!

We wish we could be there to celebrate your birthday...

Love you!

Jessica, Matt & Genevieve
