JOLI IS A COUSIN!
Congratulations to Jenny and Jonathan! Baby Mia was born today at around 1:30pm (?) Pacific Time. Details to follow, but from what I know, Baby Mia is 9 1/2 pounds and brave Jenny gave birth without any medication. You go, girl!! Also, Jenny hung in there an additional 12 days -- Mia was supposed to be born on Joli's birthday (July 17th.. for all you non-Joli stats people). Happy Birthday, Baby Mia! Congratulations Jenny and Jon -- now try to get some sleep (ha ha ha).....
Quick Joli news: she's standing like crazy! She even stands on the bed! We've stopped timing her as she can pretty much stand for minutes at a time. Joli bug is under the weather -- she's had high fever these past few days, but Mommy is giving lots of TLC and staying home from work to watch Sesame Street with her. Oh, she's also discovered Blues Clues, the Teletubbies, and the Wiggles. I know .. I know.. but we ran out of books to read and it was the only thing that would keep her still and drinking juice.
Alright.. no blogging for a while.. the computer is the next thing to get packed up!

JOLI'S NEW STATS!
Joli had her last doctor's appointment with Dr. Good today. It was so sad to leave him and all the great people in his office. (we had to get a new computer, so pictures are at a stand still for a while). Her stats: 19 1/2 pounds, 29 inches. She's had 12 shots in 1 year and her iron count went up into the normal range.
We're getting ready to move, so we may be off line for a while. Stay tuned! Joli is on the verge of walking! She can walk just holding on to one hand and is super duper fast!
Her favorite activity is to sing and bounce! Joli is hilarious! She had a fun time at the Artists Institute performance where she saw lots of her neighborhood friends dancing and singing. Joli is eagerly waiting her turn to get up there!
Stay tuned!

JOLI TURNS ONE!!
Today was Joli's 1st birthday! We had a small party with the neighborhood kids and some family friends. We all ate pizza, ice cream and cake and had a pinata! Joli, of course, fell asleep during her party and woke up just as everyone was getting ready to leave. All-in-all though, a great day! The weather was beautiful and the sun was shining! Our other computer crashed, so we're waiting to get the software to upload the pictures again. Until then, it's now countdown to moving day!

COUNTDOWN TO JOLI'S BIRTHDAY!!
Has it really been almost a year??? Joli's birthday is this Saturday! We have tons of fun planned for the kids - arts and crafts, water balloon game, a pinata, pizza and cake!She is getting so big and doing so much stuff! Today, I blew on her belly and she blew back at me! That's the first time she's done that. Jorge also showed me that Joli loves the India Aire CD -- when she hears the first 2 notes of the CD, she claps and bounces up and down. Joli is also getting ready to walk! She is eagerly standing on her own for 5+ seconds and can walk with holding on to just one of our hands.
Look for the upcoming birthday pictures! She turns 1 year old on Saturday!
ps.... Jenny is starting to feel contractions and is due any day now! Congratulations Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Jenny! We can't wait for Baby Mia to arrive!

OUR FIRST (AND HOPEFULLY LAST) CAR ACCIDENT.....
Okay, Uncle Paulie told me to start off this story with "We are fine. No one is hurt." He got really mad when I emailed him what happened and ended with those two sentences (which put him into a freak-out-spiral).
Joli and I were driving to MA for a job interview and to visit Lola and Lolo. At about 4pm, we were struck from behind on the highway and spun to the other side of the road. Turns out a large trailer truck was sailing down the left hand breakdown lane of the highway - probably because he couldn't stop in time in response to traffic. I'm not too sure what happened after that. I mostly just remember saying, "We're going to get hit!" I remember being perpendicular to the on-coming traffic and thinking "Oh, God, Help Us." By the grace of God, Joli and were not hit by any on coming traffic, and we landed safely on the other side of the highway on the grass. Joli was safe in her car seat and our car suffered only a little bit of damange in the back. The officers and EMTs checked us out and then we were allowed to drive home.
Woah.
We made it safely to MA, and Joli was none the wiser. In fact, an hour after the accident she was swinging on her playset and going down the slide!
