She's practically totally potty trained & when she's with us she stays dry all day. She loves animals & isn't afraid of them. She just runs up to any dog or cat & tries to give it a hug.
Just some recent pics & such. Jaime is so cute & big. She loves to sing. She looks just like a ewok cuz she always makes that sound they do & has huge pointy ears.
Just some pics from the last week. Had my first chocolate fondue that I made myself. It was super nice & we had lots of fun being foolish & talking. I melted some chocolates this guy had given me for mother's day ( they were pretty nasty, but it's the thought that counts & it was really sweet, thanks N____, good thing he doesn't read my blog) anyways they had lots of alcohol in them & then i put wine & some milk, cuz i didn't have cream, & a bit a butter & sugar & some other dark chocolates. It turned out pretty good & we drank our good ol' favorite $1.99 wine with it. It was swell. I tried to have fondue fingers, but after burning my fingers too many times, i gave up on that one.
Anyways another thing is that WE ARE FINALLY MOVING!!!! I feel like celebrating just to say it. After 6 months of looking for a home, we finally found one. Hopefully we'll be able to move by mid June.
here's some pics of Jaime, who is getting so cute & smart. She loves being outside picking a part flowers. She's really into animals & isn't afraid of them. She'll just go up to them & try to give them hugs. She loves babies & singing TA songs & coloring. I drew all her favorite animals & put them up with the words. I'm hoping for an Einstein, but i know she'll be perfect anyway.
for the 9th & 17 th (kinda late but it's the thought that counts.)

There isn’t a day of the year that you aren’t special to me mom.
My mom is the best in world...& I know everyone says that about their moms, but that's cuz they never had my mom for a mother, then they'd know the truth. Mom, i love you so much & I am so thankful I did one thing right when I chose to be your daughter. Thanks for teaching me so much about life, though I was probably your worst student, due to the fact I don't listen, you still had patience with me, & put up with all my retardedness. You're my role model mom, & I hope i can be to jaime what you've been to me. i love you tons.

here's a few pics we took of Jaime this past week. her new favorites are doing push ups, picking flowers to bits, playing with her balloon, teasing Lawrence that he can't nurse, & dancing to numa numa. She's so smart & loves to sing. She sings every time she sees an object that's in a song, like 'twinkle twinkle' when she sees a star, & 'the bible' when she sees a bible, & 'umbrella' by rianna when she sees an umbrella (totally not my fault, blame arthur).
