Some Quick Updates

1. Viva la mice. After two appointments with two different exterminators were no shows I felt the mouse Gods were trying to tell me something. I was already apprehensive about having all the chemicals around the boys so I did some research and it turns out mice don't like peppermint. We have little cotton balls now with peppermint oil all around the basement. Don't know if it will work but it sure smells nice.
2. We have teeth. John now has two bottom teeth which he actually has had for about a month now. Max is getting ready to break his first any day now. There is lots of drool and gnawing on anything that is around. 
3. We are close to having mobile kiddos. They want to crawl so badly. They're not sitting up quite yet but they are getting so close to that as well. Gosh, this first year is so exciting.
4. We are nanny-less. We are going through the search process for a new nanny. That's a whole big crazy mess of a story that I will have to blog about on another day.

I think that is it for now. I know there was something else I was going to update but can't remember, it's late and it's been a long day.

I love the pic of your pups on the sidebar! Cute! I have told several people your mouse-in-the-boots story...Summer is slipping away (there are already school supplies on sale everywhere, which is way premature in my book!) but maybe Jen and I (and probably the kids) can still get up there to see you? Any good days for you?

Exciting that the boys are about to walk! VIDEO!
