travel...

today i am packing. do you know how hard it is to pack for a baby? hard. there are so many things to remember... spoons, bibs, food, bottles... on and on. it will be fun to see jeffs parents though. we havent been to indy since before i was pregnant. i hope claire doesn't cry on the plane. it's so funny traveling with a baby. the minute you step foot in the planes cabin people start giving you nasty looks. it always makes me laugh when we land and countless people pass by saying "your baby is so good, she didn't make a peep!" i guess that is a good lesson in judging people that we don't know...
we will be back next thursday... happy fourth of july.

first times


today was a day of firsts. claire pulled herself to her knees for the first time to stare at the cat. I am "blogging" for the first time. some of the blogs that i have read are so deep. this is just a place for me to write what i am thinking. i had dinner with laura tonight. she has made friends finally. i think she is even gaining her self worth back. she told me about a woman that came up to her at walmart on the day of her divorce. the woman told her that God had great things in store for her. AMAZING. i do believe in prophecy, you just have to be willing to listen when you are spoken to. speaking of God, He answered my prayer yesterday. i was so down because i felt alone in all of my friendships. 3 friends called ME yesterday... i didn't have to call them first. it was a great feeling, i slept so well last night. i hope tonight is the same. jeff comes home on thursday, 2 nights to go. i miss him so much...
