Anyone want some new updates?

Well, where to start.....the last entry was talking about Connor's upcoming birthday (has it really been that long since I have posted??? Wow - someone needs to start getting on my case about that!). Connor's party went really well, he was spoiled rotten in every aspect! He has definitely got the hang of opening presents now! He got so many toys and lots of clothes! He was a happy camper! And we got to see friends that we haven't seen in quite some time so I was more than happy!

I am almost done with school ~ only 4 more classes to go! I cannot wait to be done, I really can't stand my teacher, he is the biggest dumb....well, I will leave the last part of the word out but I think that we all get the general idea! I will be finishing up class on the 15th of April which actually works out really well because my parents are coming out and will be here on the 14th!

I am really excited for my parents to be coming out, they haven't been out since Connor was born and that was over 2 years ago! I know that my uncle and his family are also going to be in DC for the same week so we may take a drive down since it's so close. I wouldn't mind taking them down to the Baltimore Inner Harbor too but I don't know how much walking Dad will want to do.

Connor is getting to be so big and so independent now. He has to do everything by himself, won't let you help him. We are going to be trying to find the directions to turn his crib into a toddler bed probably this weekend. He hasn't made it out of the crib by himself yet but it's not that far away! Although, he doesn't really even try to climb out, he does however try to climb in when he is going to bed.

We did an Easter egg hunt for him at Jan & Yvonne's house with those plastic colored eggs that we put change in (no way was I letting him have all that chocolate!) He loved it! "Mommy, more eggs!!" as he would grab my hand and lead me all over the house! He also got to dye eggs this year! Oh, boy, was he ever a fan of that one!! Next year should be really fun because I will have more time to do things for Easter. It sucks being in school and working full time, I feel like I missed out on so much the last 6 months with him! And it goes by so fast!

Eric & Laini are now Mr. & Mrs.!!! Never thought we would see the day! She made such a beautiful bride too! Definitely not a traditional wedding by any means but it was VERY beautiful and very touching! They never planned to get married but you know that when you find that person that you know that you will be with for the rest of your life, strange things happen! They wrote their own vows and I must say, that I was tearing up! Todd did a fabulous job of officiating! Well done! Everyone had such a blast too! I will post pics tonight on my myspace page and hopefully I will get back to this post to add some pics (I'm not going to say it's a definite just in case it's a while before I get back to this page!

In other news, I have joined yet another online community ~ Delawaremoms.com and they are one of the most accepting, sweet, helpful, funny, and caring groups of women (oh, and a few dads) I have ever "met". I haven't had the opportunity to actually meet them yet in person but that is coming up soon! We are going to pull a plane together! Yep, you read that correctly!

On May 4th, 20 moms (ok ~ 19 moms & 1 dad) are going to pull a C-130 military plane 12 feet as a fundraiser for the Delaware Special Olympics. It's a contest to see who can pull the plane the 12 feet in the shortest time. It should be really fun (and funny to watch!) so if anyone wants to sponsor me you can go to the following link http://www.firstgiving.com/delawaremoms ~ our goal is to raise $5,000 and we still have quite a ways to go! You can also come join Josh & Connor in our cheering section! I would LOVE to see everyone's smiling faces while I am helping to pull a 10,000 lb airplane!

Well, that's it for now. Gotta get some work done! Hope to keep up a little better still. Probably won't get to be daily until after school is completely done but I am gonna try for at least weekly to do some updates.

Love Jenn
