Catching Up



So much has happened these last few weeks. We had a great visit with Mema and Papa Low. We got to go to the zoo, have a picnic, and spend some quality time with them. They took a couple days and went to Key West and Orlando to see the Harry Potter village at Universal. We were so happy to have them and we hated to see them go. Julia would look for Mema next to her in the car, and was sad when she wasn't there. We went back to the zoo for a second day while Mema and Papa were in Orlando, and we got to feed some Giraffes. Julia liked them, I think she thought they were big Dagny's.
Julia is still working on that pesky crawling forward thing, but she has her own way for rolling and crawling to get where she wants to go. The day that the Grandparents left, Julia poked a couple teeth through and we think she is working on more. And on top of everything else Julia's hair is finally long enough for pigtails! She is very cute if I do say so myself. Julia loves playing with the balls that Mema got her and I have walked in on Kath and Julia playing catch on the floor several times.
Kath and I are doing well. We got our taxes back and were able to pay off most of our last hospital bill, do some work on my car, pay off a chunk of credit card, and have a little fun while we were at it. We got to spend the Saturday before St. Patrick's day riding on a party bus. We were driving around to our friend's restaurants and handing out t-shirts, beads and other goodies. We had a lot of fun and Julia got to stay home with a babysitter for the first time.
That's about it for now please enjoy our latest pictures.
