Sorry for the delay in this post. We have been very busy with things that I'm about to tell you and other normal things about life. (working, eating, sleeping) Well since we last wrote Jessica worked on the last minute details of the Registration for the Royal Family Kids camp which went really well. (for more on that ask Jim Farmer) Mark’s co-workers are quite excited for him and they surprised us with gifts of generosity. And there may have been a trip to a place called Urgent Care.
In the American tradition called Baby showers the attendees are mostly female. Being the not-always-traditional-folks that we are, we decided to have the guys join in some of the fun. I was interested in what happens at these estrogen dominated festivities, so why not attend his first child’s first party. We invited guys and girls and it was a blast. The guys played billiards and miniature golf while the girls enjoyed their silly games. The boys returned when it was time to open the gifts and a great time was had by all. Thanks to everyone for the generosity and support!
Mark’s company is graciously working with him to take 6 weeks off after the birth of our Baby instead of the 3+ weeks we were planning on. We are extremely grateful for this gift of irreplaceable time for bonding, recovery and world introduction. Since he has more time off, don’t think we’ll call on your (all of you) support any less. We have taken more training classes and what we keep hearing is that we will inevitably, and indefinitely, be exhausted, but it will all be worth it.
Jessica has begun her Pampered Chef career and is excitedly sharing many of the helpful products that she’s learned about. Maybe you can schedule a party and she’ll tell you all about. (shameless advertisement) While prepping for her Grand Opening cooking show there was a bit of an accident before it even began. While cleaning one of the knives, she sliced her finger. She said it didn’t hurt much, but it wouldn’t stop bleeding, so she was taken by her Mom (as Mark wasn’t allowed near the party) to the Urgent Care nearby. It required 5 stitches and with a good attitude she returned to her party, which was just about to begin. With the aid of her friend and mentor the Grand Opening went off without a hitch. Now we are officially open for business. Keep her in mind for all of your kitchen needs. (another shameless plug)
We have added a couple of pictures of Jessica at 8 ½ months and 9 months below.
