Quick Update

Okay, so this is going to be short and to the point. I am running really short on time! Grandma Johnson came on our anniversary and stayed with us for a couple of days and she made curtains, helped us to start packing, and played with Shelby. She also let us go out for our anniversary! Thanks to Grandma! Charlie and Kelsey (Ross' little sis) stayed with us one night and the next drove down to the valley with Grandma Johnson. Ross decided that he really needed a break from work and we went to the valley for a couple of days, along with Travis (Ross' brother), Sarah, and their boys. It was a quick trip but a lot of fun. Ross ended up catching a 31" trout on a guided fishing trip. I'm told this is a fish of a lifetime! I would post a picture but you can see it hanging on the study wall shortly!!!! Thanks to Mr. Stocker (Charlie's dad) for the fishing trip! For those of you in the valley that we did not see. We are sorry but it was last minute and a short trip! Since getting back I'm in full packing mode. We were supposed to move last Saturday but put it back a week to go to the valley. Thank goodness, because I would not have been ready! Packing has been interesting with a 9 month old and the house showing. Saturday morning is going to be here before I am ready for it.

Shelby update: While Grandma Johnson was in town Shelby had her 9 month check up. She weighed 20 lbs. 1 oz. (75th percentile) and was 29 1/2 inches (97th percentile). She has started to dance; which, we do have on video and I need to post. It is really adorable and extremely exaggerated and at times it seems a little provocative. Everyone in the valley was asking where she was learning this???? She pulls up now on everything, stands without holding on, walks around on things while holding on, and her latest trick, jumping. She just started this yesterday. She literally jumps in place. She doesn't hold onto anything and literally clears the floor and somehow keeps from falling. Good balance and a vertical? She can't be my daughter!!!

Gotta go pack some more while my helper is napping!
