Jade Isabella

Here is an updated picture of our neice Jade, isn't she soooo cute??!! Tony gave her apple juice with a straw tonight and she was quite delighted with the whole straw thing. Tonight Michelle, Archie and Quinn took Madison to her indoor soccer practice. They picked up Jade and then came to our house for homemade chocolate chip cookies and spent the rest of the evening with us. We've enjoyed spending time with them each evening this week. I spent a little of that free time this evening racing into Wal-mart (which has consistently disappointed me lately) and then to Meijer. I keep thinking of these "last minute gifts" ... I thought I was done but keep thinking of more. Now guess what, I have to run out tomorrow again too!!! Does anyone need anything while I'm out there with the pack? I'm really not a last minute shopper... it's just these last minute straggler gifts (like a grab bag gift for Christmas day).

I finally made it to my vacation time.... ahhhh. It feels good! Tomorrow will be spent packing and doing laundry (you know it's bad when Quinn tells me it's time...). It's amazing how much time the process of leaving takes. We are leaving for Iowa tomorrow around 5 or 6pm and returning on Tuesday. It looks like there will be rain but thankfully no snow. We are all looking forward to our trip and Christmas in Iowa. We are planning on going to the Iowa basketball game on Saturday so that will be a treat. Hopefully we won't get beat too badly.

Well, I really need to get to bed. The alarm will go off too early in the morning!

Love to all, Leah
