Back from vacation and lots of changes

We recently returned from Orange Beach. This was Jacob and Madison's first trip to the beach. Jacob loved every aspect of the beach except for the walk to the ocean. You see, even though we stayed on the beach we still had a long walk to the water and he said "it takes too long to get there". He would have been just fine with going to the pool. Except at night. Then he was ready to go catch sand crabs and any other creature on the sand. He especially liked going up to complete strangers and asking them "ya'll caught anything?". Maddie liked the beach and playing in the sand but wasn't real crazy about the water "coming up to get her". Michael was in class all day so it was just me a the chitlins during the day. We did get to go on a dinner cruise that was a lot of fun. Michael has some of the pictures that we took on his flickr account. But here is my fav...



Other updates with JR and MR...
Jacob has a loose tooth and with good reason...there is another tooth that is coming in right behind it. He loves to show me how he can wiggle his tooth and frankly it wigs me out!

Maddie has learned some new words and loves to fake being hurt when you try to take something away from her. She starts screaming "ooowww, ooowwww". Such a drama queen. Last night I heard Jacob telling her to SIT. I went into the kitchen and miss priss was sitting in the middle of the kitchen table.

In other news...there have been a lot of changes at work. You can read about those changes here. I have a new boss, new (and bigger) office, new work hours (7-4) and a new job title. Actually its not a glamorous as it sounds. I am still doing most of the same things that I did before but it is taking some time to adjust to the new digs. But I like the job that I do, love my new office and work hours, and like the people that I work with and that's all that matters!

And tonight I will start getting ready for a Bridesmaids Brunch that will be at our house for Lindsay. She is such a sweet person and we (me, Tes, and Emily) wanted to do something special for her and her 'maids before the big day. It will be loads of fun!
