Jenny's Journey

Today the girls and I met my Mom at Toys R Us. It was Geoffery's (the giraffe) Birthday and they had games and giveaways...and other stuff....supposedly! Jadyn got a new big girl car seat, the booster type that buckles in with only the seat belt from the car. Jenna got food(formula). I also needed a new umbrella stroller since the old one got abandoned at the Milwaukee Zoo a couple weeks ago!!! The big happening at the store today was Jadyn wandering off! Calling her name up and down the aisles we could not find her. Finally, I got a red shirted employee - and he took charge! I was very impressed. He got on his walkie talkie and within seconds, all the employees in the store were on look out! I noticed this as I frantically flew around the store calling out her name! Probably not even 1(long long) minute passed when I was flying up to the front of the store and there she is by the red shirted employee, crying her eyes out! She was so scared because she couldn't find us! I was s...

This weekend was the Blair Cheese Fest up in Blair,WI. Blair is the place where my in laws have hunting land. James and I rode up there together on Saturday morning. I had been to Cheese Fest a many years ago, and well it hasn't changed a bit! The town, the people..nothing. Not surprised. They have a grocery store called the"Grocery Store" now.(but rumor has it that it is closing) For being a cheese fest, there sure is not a lot of cheese. OK , well I did have a cheeseburger and we shared some cheese curds- but really that is about the extent of the cheese to be found! Other then that it is just another excuse(like the people up there need another excuse) to drink and get drunk! Not one of us up there didn't do just that. I was proud, stayed out and had a good time til bar close. I can surprise people(especially my husband) sometimes!! All and all it was a good time. Missed my kiddos and was happy to see them Sunday when I (yes only me) got home. James is probably...

Today I took Jenna for 3 month follow up at Children's Hospital. Here is a picture of what she looked like the morning of the surgery. And here is a very recent picture. I think she looks fabulous! Dr Denny and his staff thought she looked very good too! I was glad to hear that! I have another follow up appt in December to meet with Dr. Denny again. I should be hearing from his secretary sometime soon to set up a date for her next surgery, which will happen at around a year of age. This surgery is to fix the gums. In about 2 months, I have to start introducing her to the sippy cup! Yup! They want her off the bottle for the 1 year surgery. Afterwards, I met my Mom and Jadyn at Mayfair Mall to bum and have lunch! I got my hair did tonite as well! All is well in the world!

Today is my brother Jim's Birthday! I hope you have a nice day! You deserve it!

Well, shes off! A bit nervous at first, but that didn't last long. Jadyn kept asking when the bus was going to come! (Not to mention we went outside to wait for the bus and take pictures at least 25 minutes before the bus was even scheduled to arrive!) I didn't even get a picture of her getting on the bus because she flew up those stairs and found a seat so fast! I didn't think I was going to feel sad, but I do, just a little. Especially when the bus was driving away. Where did my baby go? Where did the time go? But I am happy that I have raised a little girl that is happy and confident and is very ready for school. I just hope she finds school as fun as I did. I hope she likes it!
