Prince George

Happy Birthday Prince George!  It's fun having Jase born so close to the little Prince's birthday.  We know he will be in the media for his whole life, and I'll always think about the summer our little guys were born.  I would also like to point out Princess Kate and I share the exact same birthday, including the year.  I'm sure we could be such good friends, haha!  My friend who lives in England says Americans get way more excited about the royal family than they do.

One of these days I will figure out how to get pictures from our camera onto Chuck's computer.  My poor computer is aging, and as it happens with old age, slowness has ensued.  I love that old, faithful laptop though.  Dear friends gave it to me brand new about 9 years ago, I think!  It's the only laptop I've ever had.  I've been really grateful for it all these years.  Anyway, because it takes about 20 minutes for the internet to load, I have been reduced to using Chuck's Mac, and I don't really understand it.  I very much miss posting pictures.

Well Chuck and I have started house hunting.  It's a long story, but mortgages are cheaper than rent, and we desperately need our monthly payments to go down.  I spent yesterday afternoon with the realtor looking at houses, and was able to cross three off our list.  Tonight she will take Chuck and I back to a house we like, and also show us a new one.  I know I say this about anything I do these days, but house hunting is exhausting.  Besides that, I find it fun looking around people's houses.  There was one particularly expensive house at the top of our budget (because of the school district) but it was pretty gross.  I could tell two teenaged boys lived there, and the mother had many, many hair pieces hanging in her bathroom.  Creepy.  I would think that would be something to keep hidden as I find hair off the head to be a little frightening.

In other news, Jase is sick AGAIN.  I can't believe how often he gets sick.  We all had bad colds for a week and a half, have been better for about a week and a half, and now Jase is sick again.  I really appreciate the people who take care of him in the nursery, but it seems 80% of the time he goes he gets sick.  He was awake off and on all night long- I think because he can't breath.  By 5:45am, I told Chuck, "He's been awake all night!  I don't think I've slept yet!"  To which he replied, "Shut the monitor off", and he took over from there.  I still feel like I could sleep for hours.  It's so crazy to me that even when Jase has been at his most sick, he still crawls around, and plays his heart out as if he feels perfectly fine!

One final story for the day.  The other evening Jase and I were playing on the floor.  He was across the room from me, but I still said, "Kisses for Mama!".  He got a big smile on his face, and crawled straight over to me, mouth wide open!  I could have cried!  Later when Chuck came in the room Jase did it again!  We were both cracking up!  Chuck has now taken to saying, "Kisses for Papa!" and Jase will kiss him, too.  It's one of my most favorite ways to connect.  =)
