Spring Break '08

For Libby's spring break we went to Greensburg and Batesville to visit my friends from college. Libby has been down there one other time when she was almost 2 1/2, at the time I was the only one with a baby, although Kennita was pregnant. This visit, Kennita's baby was 1 year old (Christopher), Libby was 3 1/2, and our friend "Vosko" has a 6 month old (Jocelyn aka Josie). Jo hasn't joined the mommy club yet, but we keep trying to talk her into becoming a member!! As you can see from the pics, it's difficult to get all the kids together in a picture, especially when Libby is going through a "no pictures" phase! (I know its hard to believe she didn't want her pic taken!) So thank you to Kennita for posing with the kids! The other picture is of me and my friends... Jennifer Jo, Jennifer Joanne, Jennifer Ann, and Kennita... yes you read it correctly...3/4ths of us are Jen's! Can you guess what the most popular name was in the 70's? Its hard to believe that we have been friends for 16 years now! It seems like only last year we were all moving into our dorm rooms at ISU, Bloomberg Hall, 12th floor! We may not get together often anymore, but it doesn't seem to matter. We just always seem to pick up right where we left off. Its like going home! It was so nice that we were all able together and see our children playing together. Considering the age differences they all did quite well with each other. Until the very end, when Libby and Christopher were both getting tired and decided they were done sharing! Christopher was looking through Jo's purse and Libby wanted to join in too. Every time Libby would go to stick her hand in Jo's purse, Christopher would push her away. It was quite amusing...it gave us all a good laugh. I don't think the kids thought it was funny though!

After our weekend down south we returned home. Midweek Libby had another monumental event....She went all the way to Muncie to spend the night at grandpa's house for the first time! It wasn't her first time away from home, she has spent the night at my brother's before, just the first time at grandpa's house! Of course, Nathan spent the night too, so I knew she would be just fine! She had a very good time and came home exhausted! I think she actually slept until 8:30 the next morning AND stayed in her own bed all night!

Today is Tuesday and it's her first day back to school! That means I am back at my brothers house playing on the Internet, catching up my blogspot and checking to make sure our webkinz is still alive all while Libby is at school! Checking the time, it looks like I was not as productive today as I had hoped to be! Oh well...there is always Thursday!
