Amazed

Makena jumped today!  She has no idea that she did it, but she did. She was watcing Clifford and they all started lauging and cheering and jumping.  She then started to mimic them and jumped off the ground!  I was so proud of her.

This weekend was pretty good too.  Friday we wen to Princeton to play with her cousin Brooke and then "Auntie" Katie came over on Saturday and we played at the park, Makena took a long nap, and Katie and I got a nice sunburn while playing board games outside.  It was wonderful.  Sunday was beautiful outside as well so we played outside a bit, went to the baby expo at the Convention Center (I like free stuff), and she took another really good nap.  We topped off the day with a supper of Spaghetti and ALL of us turning in at 8pm.  Yep, that's right, ALL 3 of us.  We were all so tired.  Jared has been studying non-stop, Makena wore me out (and perhaps the sun a bit), and Makena just normally goes to bed at that time.

I was going to dust off the bikes and bike trailer and fill up the tires today, but when we went to Walgreens, the wind is CRAZY out there, so that is going to wait for another day.  It's hard enough biking against the wind, let alone adding a trailer to the mix.  So instead we are playing "dow-wees" and watching the neighbors build something in their backyard (a gazebo perhaps?).  Soon we will be having a tasty lunch of . . . something and playing the rest of the day.  I hope it rains since it's too cold/windy to enjoy the outdoors.

I'm thinking some time this week Makena and I will head to either Deerwood or Paynesville for a night to give Jared another night of solid studying.  It will also be good for her to have a change of scenery.  Saturday we have a birthday party to go to in Princeton, so at least we have that day taken care of!
