Yep... We're still in the apartment waiting for the right buyer to come along. Last weekend we took a fast trip to Atlanta and back to grab a few things. Mainly Jae Anna's crib since she has long past outgrown the travel pack-n-play and we were starting to feel really guilty seeing how she couldn't stretch out head to toe. We were also able to do more organizing and cleaning in the house. Going back there made me realize, all the more, how much I miss our house. It's just a great house and in a great area. Hoping the right people come along to buy it and enjoy it as much as we did.
We also got together with my family while we were in ATL. That was nice since it's not often that all of us are able to schedule to be in one place at the same time... even on holidays. We all went to dinner at Baldino's Giant Jersey Subs on Buford Hwy. We love that place. There are two places that we always try to eat at when we're in the Atlanta area. One is Bento Cafe because it's the only Taiwanese food in Atlanta (and we think it's really good). And the other is Baldino's. We were lucky to squeeze both in on this trip. We're also finding all the good places to eat here in NW Arkansas. So far, Tontitown is my favorite city to eat in. I love Italian and they have some scruptious Italian. We just ate at Mama-Z's in Tontitown tonight. It's been three hours since dinner and I'm still about to pop!
Jae Anna and I have joined a playgroup here in NW Arkansas and we are really excited to have something outside of the apartment to do! It's really cool because there are 142 members in the group. People schedule play-dates or events to do all throughout the week and we can pick and choose which to attend depending on Jae Anna's schedule and my energy level! Of course all 142 members aren't active, but there are still a lot of moms that are. I also registered to join the local MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) yesterday. So we are keeping busy and it's been fun meeting other moms and babies that live near by.
Jae Anna is officially walking! She started walking everywhere just last week. The only downfall is that she can get into things so very quickly! Her new favorite thing to do is to bring us a book, sit down in our lap for a split second while we read the first page, then she's off to find another book for us to read. Another favorite activity is to pretend to feed us. She'll act like she has food in her hand and place it in our hand for us to pretend to gobble it up. She thinks this is pretty funny and can play this game forever. One food item has been added to her list of things she'll eat. She likes chicken nuggets. Chick-fila and McDonald's are her favorites. I love that the fast food places are giving healthy options of sides and drinks for us and kids. She's also giving hugs & kisses now and I love it! I ask for a million hugs and kisses a day and she'll comply maybe 80% of the time :)
Tim is enjoying his job. He works really hard and puts in almost 12 hour days. I don't mind as long as we get his time in the evenings and weekends. He's good about leaving his work at work and rarely discusses business at home. Maybe that's because I get a glazed over look if he tries. Ha! He could be speaking Mandarin to me and it would compute about the same. We have our 4th anniversary coming up on the 30th. That's hard to believe. The four years have flown by!
