Jess took her senior portraits and started her senior year. She sent me pictures from senior sunrise and is still thinking about joining the Navy after she graduates. She is in the student-directed play, a monologue about the lives of teenagers. She is working hard to fundraise for the choir trip to New York to sing at Carnegie Hall in March!
Julie started 2nd grade shortly after and has the same teacher Jess had in 4th grade. So exciting! She is riding a bike without training wheels and finally lost her first four teeth. She is happy Girl Scouts will be starting up again soon - this year as a Brownie and Mom as co-leader!

Jaycee has taken her first steps and now has 5 teeth with another on the way. One losing teeth, another getting them! She can say dog, cat, hi, bye, night-night, yeah, mom, mama, eat, and ah-choo! She is still super clingy, but is getting better. We are looking forward to celebrating her 1st birthday next month.
Exciting news for us: we're buying a house! We're staying in Roseville, as we found a great house that has everything we want for a very reasonable price. It's a short sale so we don't know when we'll close yet. Be looking for housewarming party invites!
We're also planning our trip to Disneyland for Jaycee's first birthday. We're so excited to go back!
I will also be a surrogate again, for the same couple. Baby Sivert just turned 2 and they want another! It's a great opportunity for us and they are such sweet people. We are looking at a November or December transfer - just have to wean Jaycee, which is proving to be harder than I expected!
Lots of adventures as we look toward fall!
