Georgia, Sophia and JenniferI know - unbelievable that I actually have a new posting. It has been forever. I can't believe it is already June. I also can't believe how much Georgia and Brett have both changed in the past two months. I thought I would list some recent firsts.

First waived her arms to be picked up (6/6)
We are very excited for Brett and his marching band activities this Fall. Freeman High School allows rising 8th graders to try out for their marching band. Even though he will not attend Freeman in 9th grade, he asked if he could try out. They said, "yes," he tried out, he made it. HURRAY. He plays percussion meaning he has to be at every practice and, you guessed it, BAND CAMP. I cannot say it with a straight face. I am working on it. Brett's stay in Colorado will be much shorter this year. He will only be there for about six weeks.
As for his Hooters' Bikini Contest - he had a fabulous time. Our friend Troy was his chaperone. They carded Brett and put many wrist bands and x's on his hands to signal that he is not old enough to drink. He was thrilled that the bouncer thought someone might think he was old enough for a beer.
Ms. Georgia is everywhere now. She is rolling all over the place. Putting everthing she finds in her mouth. She also has started pulling my hair. It doesn't matter if my hair is up or down, she just pulls it out by the roots when she is tired and crabby.
It is the cutest thing when she waives her arms to be picked up. And, if she is waiving her arms, you better pick her up! It is not a pretty site if you happen to walk past and not act on her request.
The pictures are from Georgia's Baptism Breakfast.

Hello from Florida! First off, your daughter is beautiful! You have a wonderful story and I am so happy things worked out for you the way they did! My name is Heather. I am 37 living in Miami, Florida. I have two kids - my son is 14, my daughter is 13 and I have been divorced from their father for over ten years. Suddenly, as of 3 years ago, I am re-married to an amazing woman (yes a woman) and we've decided to have a baby. We too are using donor 1915. We like to call him "Noah". I hope we are as lucky as you! We have tried 4 times but only 2 times with Noah (once at home) and this last time finally at the doctor's office last weekend - IUI. As I write to you, I am waiting to find out if we are pregnant! Your story about not waiting the full two weeks to test made me laugh! This has been the longest two weeks of my life!! Technically, my period is due next weekend but I am going to take the first test Monday and see what happens. I'm also using "pregnant / not pregnant"! hee hee! Technology has come a long way! Anyway, I noticed another woman wrote to you and gave her e-mail address who is also pregnant from Noah. I'm curious to know if you have heard from her and if she's doing well and if she knows what she is having yet! How exciting! Well I hope to hear back from you Ms. Virginia! I hope the "two moms" thing isn't too weird for you. If it is, I totally understand and ask that you be honest. If you're okay with it, I personally think it's an amazing thing to know someone who has a "sibling" of my future child! I am an only child and honestly, it stinks. Well I look forward to hearing from you so we can share more stories! Take care and kiss Miss Georgia for us!
Hello...me again...I got to thinking and I wanted to clarify something I said earlier.....about the sibling thing and me being an only child...I don't want you to think...oh boy ...here comes some weirdo from Miami thinkin we're gonna be one big happy family....I didn't mean it like that and i certainly don't want to freak you out. Clearly your daughter has her brother and my baby will have a brother and sister and I think that's probably one of the greatest gifts we can give these babies. All I meant was....having grown up an only child myself, the mere idea of a sibling being out there somewhere in existence is pretty cool....no matter how far away....that's all. I hope that makes more sense :o)
