Another what? you ask? Another tooth. Eileen is now down 3 teeth. She has an adorable lopsided grin. This evening when she went to bed she cried like her heart was breaking - Dan had dropped the tooth and hadn't found it yet and Eileen was horrified at the idea that there would be no tooth in her tooth box when the tooth fairy came. She and Anna got to go to a friends birthday party yesterday and had tons of fun and tons of junk food. Anna was sick last night and this morning - thankfully it seems to have passed and Dan and I are just chalking it up to too much JUNK!
The weather here has been beautiful (at least until last night when it started drizzling and has kept going all day) so the kids and I spent most of the week walking around and enjoying the weather. There is a walking/bike/running path that runs right by our house and 3 out of 5 days this week, Anna and Aaron were begging to go on walks/bike rides along the path. It's a lovely walk and the kids love it. Anna and Aaron pedal their hearts out and we probably end up going at least a mile before we are done. It also makes nap time go more smoothly :)
Dan and I are very excited to have our house under contract and we are praying that all goes smoothly and that we will soon be able to put the money for those house payments and the utility bills into savings. We aren't making any money off the deal - but at least we won't have to keep paying for a house we aren't living in! Anna's big thing right now is wanting to do my hair - she loves to brush it and spray it with water and put clips in it. She tries to put hair bands in it, but she isn't able to make it work and she gets very frustrated with herself. As long as she sticks to brushing and clips we are both very happy (i love having my hair brushed!)
Evie has reached a new level in her mobility. She has started climbing everything she can find. She climbs Dan's and I's bed - she climbs onto rocking chairs (small ones) she climbs onto anything that she can manage and then sits there and looks at us proudly. She is such a character! She loves to make noises with her mouth and loves to put things on her head and loves to play patty-cake. She loves to snuggle and she loves her blankie. She is starting to want to follow her brothers and sisters around.
Well that's life around the Jones house - insane but fun! Next week the real insanity begins - starting next Thursday and going for about 2 and a half weeks - we will have house guests, and Dan will be gone for some of it on business trips, and Eileen has a week off school in there. Oh yeah and a holiday... Life will be fun but CRAZY!!! We can't wait to see family though!

So glad to hear about your house! Hope all goes well with it!
Remember what the Dog Whisperer says, walk your dog every day. I guess kids benefit from exercise every day too :)
