Do you remember the time when you could just sit and have an actual, uninterupted conversation with friends? When you could just go to the movies whenever you felt like it and eating out wasn't an aerobics class? Well, Joel and I have friend's who are still in that phase of their marriage (not for long!!). I feel so incredibly lucky that they are still willing to hang out with us, even tho I can't seem to do the simplest of things- like finish a sentence- before I have to go chase after Mikayla. We got to spend Saturday evening with them and Mikayla had a blast! We went to the San Tan mall and she got to play in the splash pad. She was scared of all the other children at first, but got into it soon enough.
I swear, I don't keep her locked up in the basement all day...we do go out and she lOvES the park. It just so happens that one of her parents is albino and the other is a polar bear.
Then if that wasn't enough fun for one little girl to have, Monday for part of our family night we went to Target and we finally got her her own toot toot!! (for all of you that don't speak "Mikayla" that means car...or really anything with wheels). She was so excited she couldn't even wait for us to get it out of the box before climbing on!
The box said it was good up to 3yrs old...but she already looks too big! We tried to take off the green thing, but she wasn't having any of that and threw a fit. It also has an attachment that goes on the back so we can push her along when we go on walks (that would have been nice a couple of months ago..hmm..oh-well)

Ruth,
Your little girl is so cute. Well he goes to Greenfield pool for 25mins mon-thurs. It is so much fun. All the major junior high or high schools offer swim lessons. If you go to the gilbert rec website. The lessons last for two weeks and then they start over. So in about two weeks a new session will start if you want to join.
How fun! And yes, I vaguely remember those days when life didn't revolve around kids... Life definitely changes. It is amazing that something that requires us to give up our freedom can be so fulfilling.
I can't wait to see you in person soon! Brillant idea to have a water pad where kids can come play...especially designed in a circle so the parents can sit around and "corral" those kidlets. I think she looks cuter and cuter everytime I see a picture of her!
You are such a great mommy! We are all surviving on mercies of motherhood :)
