this is actually the first summer where I haven't had any obligations besides being a mom since I was 15 years old. every summer I have either worked full time, been in school full time, or a combo of both. typically the latter. it's so nice (and bizarre) to have no outside obligations besides taking care of Novaley. it is the break that I have been needing, but I am anxious to start working again in August.
Novaley and I got back to Minnesota May 16th and since then we have been enjoying all the time we have gotten to spend with family and friends. I'll admit, we have been eating out wayyyyy too much, but it's the summer so oh well.
June and most of July have flown by, and I can't believe that it is the end of the month and only a few days until her 2nd birthday!
She will again be having 2 different parties...one for Joe's side, and one for mine. We can't wait to see all of our family and friends! (especially the ones we haven't seen already this summer!)
I can't believe that Novaley is almost 2....I would do another chalkboard print out that says a bunch of facts about her, but I don't have my computer with me to use the photoshop.
-Novaley can speak in full sentences (although sometimes she talks so fast we have no idea what she is saying).
-she's potty trained, even through the night
-she can say the alphabet.
-count to 14...20 if you help her.

those are all the things i can think of off the top of my head....I'm still surprised every day about how smart, funny, and caring she is. I'm just so sad that she is growing up so fast.
I will post pictures from her parties hopefully sooner than later.
Hope to see y'all at her parties!
