We are in the pantie phase!

Campbell now wears panties. Campbell is 99% potty trained. She is such a big girl! We have it totally licked except she has been holding her BM (or #2 as some say). She wakes up dry and stays dry all day even during outings. We just need to tackle the pooping. Campbell has panties in every character imaginable. She loves picking out which pair she will wear everyday. WE are so proud of her!

Way to Go CAMPBELL Q!!!!!

PJS

I was just looking back through at the blog and noticed Campbell has on the same pjs in two of the blogs. I started thinking of all the clothes this little gal has and how many hundreds of PRINCESS night gowns and various 2 pc long Carter pjs are sitting in the drawer. BUT the ONLY pics I have taken are her in Christmas pjs. The luck!

Lego Land with Daddy!

The finished product!

Tonight daddy is home and Campbell is loving every minute of it. Our family room was turned into our mini Lego land where daddy built multiple castles for Campbell. She loved helping put her own touch on the castles. Once they were built, down she took them for daddy to build another one. Daddy had a tough day today at work with two fatalities in a car wreak. We are always so proud of Jeremy and how hard he works. Sometimes life is too short and Jeremy knows this more than anyone. We are so proud of you Daddy. You are our HERO daily. Besides you make the best princess castles around. WE love you!!

PS. Yes, Christmas pjs are allowed all winter long. They are warm!

Are you serious???

I dropped my keys out of my pocket today at school while unloading students off the school bus this morning. No big deal, huh? Well, my friend/assistant, Christie found them at 3:15 after a day of school buses driving back and forth over the same spot where my keys were dropped. The end product... not pretty. I now have a automatic car start, but no remote that works and a transmitter (the remote to lock and unlock) that only works when you are on top of the vehicle pushing the button over and over. Thank goodness for car insurance.

Vacation Break! Could it really be over?

The holidays are over, which means tomorrow morning so is my vacation break. The two weeks we have off at Christmas time are one of my favorite times of all year. I love that since I am a teacher I have always had this break since I was a child. I got 2 weeks off as a kid, 3 weeks off as a college student, and now has a professional adult I still get 2 weeks off. Why ever have a different job? I loved being home with Campbell and taking in all the different opportunities to be with her, our family, and our friends. I will have a hard time getting up in the morning since Dec. 19th I have been on my own schedule. Poor little Campbell just doesn't want me going back to work. I can already hear her saying "Momma, you stay here, don't go to work.". It is hard to complain about going back to work when I am so lucky to have this time off with my job. Anyway, with that being said, I will go back with a smile and a little bit of a sad heart that Campbell and I will not be eating our breakfast tomorrow morning and taking in an episode of Imagination Movers. But who says I can't start the count down to the weekend!

The RESULTS are in!

Jeremy has strep throat! Get better soon!!
I agree with Kris... We need to enter the new year on a high note.
love you!!! Jessica and Campbell

Another one bites the dust!

I just talked to my mom and she too is sick with a fever. But after checking on her again, she is feeling much better after getting medicine from the local pharmacy. Please family, get well and stay well. Glad you are a tad bit better mom. I hate that you and Jeremy are both sick. Please bring the New Year in with good health. Love you Momma!!

GET WELL you TWO~~

103.3 and rising!

Jeremy had to do a reverse 24 hour shift today (6pm to 6pm). The only problem was he woke up sick and couldn't call off. He was shivering, had an upset belly, sore throat, headache, body aches, and the fever that just kept climbing. We finally gave up with the thermometer at 103.something. I am so sorry you are having to work right now bud. I sure hope you get some well needed rest and aren't up all night with calls. We love you and hope you feel better. Campbell is still talking about "Daddy leave for work and not give me a kiss!".

What a Wonderful Chirstmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!!!Jeremy and I so enjoyed our Christmas with Campbell this year. She was so much fun to watch with her stocking, Santa presents, and overall gifts for the holiday. Campbell was never really into Santa this year as most of you know. On Christmas morning we told her Santa had been here so we better go downstairs. Campbell was very apprehensive thinking Santa was still at our house. We had to convince her that mommy and daddy were the only ones that would be downstairs with her. She wanted to know that Santa was gone. TOO funny! Campbell left cookies and milk for Santa and she got a big kick out of the fact that he ate part of the cookie.

Campbell loved her stocking just like her mom and dad always have. Why is the stocking always the best part of Christmas? Maybe it is all the family traditions we have as a child with our own families that stick with us when we now have a little one ourselves. Christmas is not only about "Baby Jesus" (as Campbell would say) and the presents we all exchange, but about creating memories with our families that last a lifetime. I hope you all had many wonderful memories this Christmas!
She had sooo much in her stocking.... we had to convert some to a Target bag.

We went and spent the day at my parents with my sister's family as well. I think they look wiped out!! Could Christmas really be over already?

Happy Birthday Charlotte!!!!

I just wanted to wish Charlotte Symmes a most wonderful birthday!!! Charlotte is a very close friend of ours who we think the world of. I hope you have a blessed, safe, and cherished birthday! We love you!!
