Bumbo-tastic!

Katie in her Bumbo!

What I Did on my Summer Vacation

I start work tomorrow. Miss Velma is going to Vegas and with a promise that she will share her winnings when she hits the jackpot I agreed to fill in for her. (I will also get paid for the holiday). Katie has been in daycare since Monday. She seems to enjoy it. Took her a couple of days to adjust (and Mommy too!). The big test will be tomorrow when Mommy and Daddy drop off the boogerbear and then off to work.

My new obsession is the Lego Star Wars game. I should be working on my belly dance costume that I plan on wearing for beginner graduation at the end of September..but this game is so cool!!! Lego Star Wars 2 is coming out on September 12th.

Other than that Adam and I decided that we are going to have the cats out and running around the house soon time for all of us to be a family (and the cats need to run around and lose some weight!!!!)

Back to Bellydance

After trying to go back to do bellydance for almost a month I finally got to it tonight. It was on my list of goals for the day. I went to the beginners class to get my basics back in. (I go to Isis Star Dancer Studios in Bedford) Isis saw the pictures of Katie and was so excited to see me come back (last time I was there was May 1). It was good to be back in class...and as usual she wore me out.

I am SO out of shape!!!!!!

Decided that I will probably stay with the beginner class until their graduation at the end of September and then go to the advanced one class. I know she won't mind and I've been in advanced one for almost three years (wedding/baby/life happens) and she doesn't have a time table for when we advance after beginner graduation.

Katie and I went to the daycare that she will be going to next Monday. I will be going back to work on Friday Sept 1. They have her crib ready for her. There are about 7 babies in there (I think). Looking for a mobile for her crib there now. Got her a miniature pooh bear for her (she has a large one that looks after her in her pack and play).

Huh???

2 Month Pictures

Got Katie's two month pictures done. Was just going to get the one pose for $9.95 but with about 95 pictures of her looking very cute and freaking adorable we got the four pose package again.
 

 

 

  

Remembering Katie Johnson

Hard to believe that it has been a year since she died....





I know that I didn't know her but her story touched so many people. Yes our Katie is named in honor of her and my Mom who I know is watching over her in heaven.

Home

Back from Coal Valley IL

Satine has given Katie her stamp of approval which is basically putting her head up against Katie's and rubbing it. It's her way of saying "This is mine now"

So Katie and I went to see G&G Burgess last Thursday and got back yesterday afternoon. She was WONDERFUL on the plane. I fed her when we took off both times and when we landed I made sure that her NUK was in her mouth. She screamed and cried before we got on the plane and I tried to calm her down but I also mumbled "go ahead...get it all out now"

G&G Burgess LOVED her. She was a real character. My friends that I have known since JR High came over and just loved her.

last night we went over to see Adam's parents and dropped off Katie to go to dinner. I'm so thankful that they live close by!

Went to the office today to see how everyone was. Velma (Mom of the group) and I were getting ready when (Auntie) LaShun took the carrier with Katie in it and moved it by her desk. "Are you going to babysit while (Grandma) Velma and I go out to lunch?" I asked. "Yep" She replied. "Okay I'll get her bag" Told her when she was fed and ran out the door before Katie started to cry. We got back early from lunch (because Velma wanted to hold Katie before she went back to work) and found out that she was passed around to everyone in the office and was smiling, laughing and talking to everyone. They still don't believe that the child does cry...:)

Katie's two month appointment will be on Friday at 9:30. She's also getting her two month picture done on Saturday at Noon (pictures will be scanned and posted).

Leaving on a Jetplane

Getting the last couple of things together for our trip. The plane leaves at 10:24a.m. and Grandpa Rick will be coming over to take us to the airport. Please give us positive vibes that everything goes smoothly. Will try and take lots of pictures and videos.

Love,
B and Katie
