Chain Blog

Hoping not to disturb the balance of universal laws of unknown truths I decided to participate in a chain blog. I was reading my buddy Svoid's Blog when I ran into this interesting chain. Not wishing to cause misfortune to svoid I decided to post it properly on my site :)

Here's the deal:
1. Delve into your blog.
2. Find the twenty-third post.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

And here it is the moment of truth...

Two years

Dear little Jasmine is two years old today. I am not sure where all the time has gone, just yesterday it seems I was cuddling a baby. She has already changed a lot during this time; counting, talking, and not just walking but climbing and jumping make her miles away from where she was even a year ago. Having Kai, who is at just the begins of awareness, and then seeing Jasmine who has come so far makes me appreciate where they both are. I savor Kai being a baby and look forward to the new developments Jasmine shows everyday. I miss Jasmine being a baby, who in comparison to a two year old, was easy in many ways. Of course I am rememering those days with rose colored glasses because Jasmine wasn't an easy baby and I don't think I was ever as sleep deprived as I was with her, so perhaps these days are easier in some ways.

Ah weddings with a baby.....

Chris and I attended My cousin David and his new wife, Carissa's, wedding this past weekend. It was a beautiful event that went off without a hitch. I wish them the best of luck in their joint journey through life. I can only hope they can make it through the rocky times that happen in any relationship. Chris and I enjoyed an evening with just one baby who I can' t part with for any amount of time not only for his happiness but for my own. Ah the joys of breastfeeding. But it was nice to have an evening where we didn't have to worry about our two year old and what she was into. A big thank you goes out to Chris's mom for that evening.

Kai was pretty good over all at the wedding, after a little crankiness he fell asleep so I could take pictures. He was also pretty good at the reception although we learned he doesn't like loud music, so we headed upstairs once the dance started and visited with my Uncle Mike and his wife Kathy. I enjoyed playing pass the baby because he is darn heavy after holding him all day. I think he weighs about 17 or 18 lbs now so he is getting to be much when I have to carry him all day.

It is funny to think that Chris and I got married that young. I actually think getting married young is an advantage as long as you can hold out the first few years. Being married young allows you both to grow up together, which I feel brings you closer together, but you have to be able to handle the stress at the beginning. Of course I am a little biased about it because my parents were married young and they are still very happy together.

On another note we are starting to move Jasmine into her own room now which is an interesting venture considering our spare bedroom has currently been used mainly for storage.

Who Said Hitch Hiking Wasn't Safe?

Well it has been a few weeks but my phone was able to hitch hike its way across the U.S. and eventually find its way home again. Thanks to Paul and Laura from the Cleveland Ohio area who happily brought it home with them and then mailed it back to Wisconsin. I have a phone again!
