The Virginian

I finally got my Virginia driver's license in the mail today!  As I've been carrying around my Idaho one for the last 4 years, this is a nice change.  Oh and if you've ever wondered how a driver's license picture would turn out with a DMV worker barking at you, "Tilt your chin up.  Keep your mouth shut tight and no showing teeth.  You can smile if you want to though. . . *click*" . . . . this is how it would look:
haha, not my finest picture!

You sound like me. I'm still carrying my AZ license (and we've been in Southern CA and Visalia and now New Mexico since then). I told Sean that I would finally get a current license when I knew we were going to stay put for a year or longer. We just hit our year mark here (and it looks like we'll be here for a while), so I guess it's my turn.

That's funny about the driver license lady. I didn't think they cared what the picture was like. I renewed my license last week and when I got home I noticed my name was Kathryn Clements. I guess they used my birth certificate for all the information. I was thinking that now was my chance to emancipate myself from tradition and use my maiden name. luckily they can change it over the phone and my new license will come in a few weeks with my legal name.

haha i'm dying over how you described that lady telling you to pose...how bout this: when i was over 8 months pregnant, 60 pounds bigger and swollen as all get out i went to renew my license and had to take a picture like that! hahaha it is STILL on there and believe me i have to resist the urge to not tell cashiers or whoever when they look at it "uhm ya i was PREGNANT in that picture!" haha...anyway, apparently virginia licenses don't make you put your weight either-which isn't a bad thing :) (not that it would matter for you!!)

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

Image
So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

21 Weeks

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
