Random thoughts...and Justin trying to walk!

This video below is over a week old, but I thought I'd post it anyways since I don't have any new pictures since last weekend! He hasn't really smiled too much since then; we think he's getting more teeth if that is possible! We can feel hard bumps on his upper right gum that are not on his upper left one. I don't know if he can get those back teeth this early???

Yesterday Justin turned 11 months old - Rob and I can't believe how fast it's gone by! We are in the process of planning his birthday party and we are SO EXCITED for it! A few people have asked what he "needs" for his birthday and the answer is nothing. This kid has a toy box that is overflowing; and that is not even all of them! Is it tacky to tell people Toys R Us gift cards? I know that people don't really like just buying gift cards, but when we get a house we really want to get him one of those little plastic houses or forts or something to play in/climb on. It would be nice to have gift cards to pay for it, but I don't know the proper etiquette of what to tell people for gifts??

My mom and grandma are both doing well....thank you to those who sent emails/cards/well wishes - it is much appreciated!!

We are going BACK to Elgin this weekend. We fired our realtor and are interviewing a new guy on Saturday morning. I think I really like him - we talked on the phone for a while about different marketing things that he can do, etc. Our old guy called me and told me that he's going on vacation for 3 weeks and if an offer gets faxed in someone will call me. I don't think so - he's not done a darn thing since he listed it...it's still a picture on the website with no leaves on the trees and grey dreary skies. So then he tried telling me that I had to wait to cancel until he got back from vacation. I told him that was not the case; we had fulfilled our contract and he needed to cancel immediately. We had an email war and I finally won. Lori called to tell me that someone was there taking the sign down and the fliers off the counter. Yeah! I am excited to see the Jacobs and hang out with Tom, Lori and Marley!!!

I woke up this morning with a killer sore throat and it won't go away :( I am hoping that I am not getting sick; I don't have time for that! We were planning on going to a few Great Lakes Loons games this week since they are in Peoria, but the heat index yesterday was 107 and I think it's 105 today. Air conditioning sounds way better than sitting outside at the ball park!

I'll try to get new pictures up soon!
