Because I know I won't be online for a few more days, here's a quick preview of what to expect the next time I get to post:
Julianna's derby car...ooooooh, it's Larry the Cucumber!
Picture Monday...on some other day
Our family visiting from Hungary...going to a picnic to meet them today (well, I already met 3 of them, but not the last one yet)
And I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures of Julianna...simply because she's so cute.

Molars
What does teething (molars no less) do to my beautiful little girl?
First, this happens.
Then, it escalates a little into this.
Next, we get this.
And eventually, this is what I have instead of my happy little girl.

I'm Still Here!
So it has been weeks since I've been online...ok, I lied...it's been like one week...but it feels like weeks! We have been staying at our "super-duper" camper for almost a month now and although it is filled with modern conveniences (satelite tv...now that's camping...haha!) it lacks the one thing that would make it truly awesome...the internet.
I swear I have been going through withdrawl. I am, as my husband calls me, an internet junkie. I have no problem admitting my problem. I love to check my e-mail, get on facebook, search Craigslist, read blogs, and post to my own. I can handle the lack of online contact most of the day, but when Julianna takes her nap or goes to bed, and I have cleaned the camper (which doesn't take long), I sit down and think about all of the things I could be doing online instead of watching baby shows on TV (I know...another ridiculous addiction...it started when I was pregnant with Julianna).
What good deals am I missing out on? Who has e-mailed me or posted to facebook and is now thinking that since I didn't respond in the last 12 hours that I don't like them anymore? I mean this lack of internet could totally cost me friends. People will begin to write me off as lost to the great unknown. DON'T DO THAT! I'M STILL HERE! I may not be here frequently *sigh* but I will be here. Please bear with me during my time of internet loss and someday I will be an internet junkie again.

The End is Near???
We have been working on our house for just over 3 months now. I know, I know, that is ridiculously long. Ok, so maybe only I think that is ridiculously long, but when we bought it our plan was to be in in one month. Our first deadline was May 1. Then, we extended it to Mother's Day weekend. Then, to before we went on vacation the end of May. And lately, we said by July 4th weekend. Now...we say in 2 weeks...
We are down to urethaning the living room floor (we already sanded it down and stained it), one more coat of paint in Julianna's room, painting the kitchen walls, painting the hallway walls, and to finish stripping that evil wallpaper in out room and painting the walls and trim. But trust us, the house will be sooooo far from done at that point. That will just make it capable of being lived in.
We've already taken a bunch of stuff off our "to have done before moving in" list and added it to our "to do after we move in" list. We can hardly wait to be in our own place again after a year and a half.

Julianna's New Teacher
Last Wednesday, Julianna got to meet her new teacher from Eastgate. We had applied to Eastgate in May and didn't think we would hear from them for quite awhile. But we were excited to get a call about 2 weeks ago, saying she had been accepted. Her PVL (due to prematurity) qualified her for the school.
Regina, her teacher, came out to the apartment and did a routine interview. That was just a questions and answer session about her daily routine, things she likes, things she dislikes, and about her development. She'll come out again next week to do a more in-depth assessment of Julianna's needs (although she said she probably won't recommend her for any therapies right now since she is doing so well). And then in January, she will hopefully start toddler classes at the school.
We are so excited that Julianna was accepted to Eastgate. Right now we aren't really concerned about anything, but wanted to make sure we stay on top of things in case any she has any difficulties later on. By her attending Eastgate, we know there is a whole team of people there to help catch any problems should they arise. It is a nice bit of piece of mind.

Strolling in the Park
Our mom's group is in full swing!! We have been meeting since the middle of May and have such great turn outs now. It has taken off so much faster than I (or I think Mallory even) anticipated! We have kids from just a few weeks old all the way up to 3 yrs old. Every Monday during the summer we decided to meet at a park to walk and then have a picnic lunch and finally let the kids play on the playground. This has been really successful. I know I really look forward to getting to talk with other moms and let Julianna "socialize" with other kids. Yesterday, we had quite a few moms and kids come and I took some pictures.
She is walking so well!!!
Danielle & Alleigh-Alleigh runs around & is so good at sliding!
Morgan is a little thing, but such a cutie!
Julianna filled Ellie's stroller with mulch.
