Jenny is doing so great. She tells the most wonderful stories about everything, and nothing. She loves to sing and dance, hold hands, take pictures (she actually take really good ones!) play in water whether it's the sprinkler the pool or the river, play with her little sister, and help me with chores around the house. The only chore she has that she does every day is to feed the dog. She loves it for some reason! Other days she helps me sweep, take the laundry to the laundry room and put them into the washing machine, and she gets the clothes out of the drier and into the basket. She's quite the little helper.

Nikki is growing up so fast! She will be 8 months tomorrow. She's crawling, pulling herself up to a standing position, she says mama and waves her arms at me, she has her two bottom teeth in, and she is learing sign language. I don't do much. Just eat, drink, yes, please, thank you, milk, and want. The only one she does so far is want. Which she does a lot. When she's older we'll work on different animals. She is not sleeping through the night yet, which is my fault. I don't let her cry at night because I'm afraid she'll wake our neighbors up. 

Our neighbors have bought a house! They are in the process of moving. When they're all moved out Ror and I will repaint the upstairs and then start moving. I'm really excited about it! The upstairs has 4 bedrooms, a nice kithcen, a dining room, a big living room, a jacuzzi bathtub, and CLOSETS! Our house downstairs has 2 rooms but only one of them has a closet and a window. The other one is just a room, a small hole-in-the-wall kitchen, a nice bathroom, a dining room that's right in our entry way, and a living room. As soon as we move upstairs Nikki will be getting her own room and I won't be worried about her waking anyone up! I'm praying it doesn't take too long for her to get the hang of it. 

August 17-20 Ror, the girls, and I drove to Seattle for a vacation! We stayed with some friends of ours. Monday we got there shortly after dinner, went to Subway so Ror and Jenny could eat, went back to Jamie and Si's apartment and played Catch Phrase, and then Ticket to Ride. Tuesday Ror, the girls and I went to the Seattle Zoo, back to the apartment for a few hours, had Pho for dinner, went and saw my very good friend Kjerstin while she was there for the night, and then went to bed. Wednesday Jamie had a whole list of things for us to do! We went and spend a couple hours at Pikes Market, hung out with the Troll under the Freemont bridge, played in a park with Jenny where she went wading in a kiddi pool, out to Thai for dinner, and then to an outdoor movie at a park! Thurday we packed up, said our goodbyes, and drove to Bellingham to have lunc with my Papa, my mom's dad. And then we make the 9 hour drive back home! 

I do believe that is all the interesting things I have been up to lately. 

Cheerio!
