I'm leaving, on a jet plane...

I'm still around, and have lots of photos to post, but have just been too tired or busy to do it. Tomorrow (Saturday), Marc and I leave for Vegas!! We'll be there thru Wednesday, and are going with some of Marc's friends. We'll go to the Grand Canyon on Monday, so even though that'll take the whole day, it'll be a great side trip and something I can cross off of my "Places to go someday" list! The kids are going to Marc's parents' house, where they'll be joined by two 14 year old girls visiting from Italy, so that should be interesting for them!
Here's what's happening in our lives... I have photos of all these things, but you'll have to wait until next week to see them!
Luke finished his 2 week beginner's swimming lessons. The first day, his shyness got the best of him, and he sat on the edge of the pool the whole time. We weren't going to go back, but I'm so glad we did because he ended up learning so much, including jumping off the 10 ft diving board without floaties. We went ahead and signed him up today for the next level of classes in August.

Mia is changing so much. She had her 4 month appt last week and is only 13 lb 1 oz (I say only because she was about 12 pounds at her last appt), and is doing things that 5/6 month olds do according to her doctor. She does have a slightly large head, but we love her anyhow! :) She has begun rolling onto one side, but then gets stuck on her arm. She ate cereal with bananas last week and loved it so much! We haven't made it a daily thing yet, but will soon. She is also sitting up and laughing tons!! The cutest thing is that her little dolls cheer her up. When she is sad, we give her a doll, and she eats it, squishes it, loves it, and is usually happy again. To sleep, we lay her down with her paci, mobile on, a doll on each side of her head and usually Giraffe is close by.

I'm starting to feel bad that I didn't post all these photos, but not bad enough to do it now! I'll update again Thursday, with tales of all the money we won and Elvis sightings.
