And how! I can't believe it's been a month since I updated this thing!
We just got back from Camp on Saturday night, and we've been busy catching up all the little things that got behind with us being gone for a week. It's crazy how things that you don't pay that much attention to when you're home get so messed up when you're gone for a few days! Somehow we always end up with a pile of mail that threatens to obliterate the sun when we get home - and most of it is worthless...
We enjoyed Camp - at least, most of it! I think the first thing we all did when we got back was take a bath... We used to complain about our water, but after last week, our water is looking pretty good, even if it does leave white stuff on our dishes - at least it's not orange and smelly!
I especially enjoyed the services at camp. Yes, it's tiring sometimes, especially with trying to keep Juliana occupied, but it definitely refreshing for my soul to spend a few days with God! It's amazing how faithful He is to meet with us when we spend a little time seeking Him! I know I tend to get caught up with taking care of things that have to be done and a lot of times forget to spend as much time with Him as I should, and camp gives me a week when I can just ignore a lot of things and focus on Jesus.
Juliana enjoyed the time running around and playing with boys! In the space of a week, she had boys giving her flowers, trying to kiss her, and telling her she was cute! If she's alreay breaking hearts at 19 months, what is she going to be like at 16? Please, pray for us...
She's loved having her Aunt "Bebe" (Bethany) around. In her eyes, Beth hung the moon - She spoils her rotten is what she does, but it's only for a few weeks out of the years, so I guess we can live with it! :-) We actually kind of like having her around, too, although you wouldn't catch her 'Bubby' admitting it! (Brad)
Juju has also been loving her pool! She is always trying to get me to take her to the 'wahwy'. Unfortunately, the wahwie sometimes gets in her nose, eyes and ears...at which points she takes my hand and rubs her face with it and says "Mommy, wahwie nose!" (or whatever part is affected):-)
She learns so may new words every day! Tonight she was being grumpy, and I told her she needed to get a better attitude - and she nodded her head and said 'attitude'. At camp, we were pushing her in her stroller when a little boy got in fromt of her and she told him, plain as day, "Get out of the way!" Needless to say, she hasn't learned about manners yet!
Well, I've been trying to upload pictures, but the computer says it can't do it because I'm not coneected to the internet, which I obviously am, or I would not be typing this. Computers! You'll have to see pictures some other day!

Happy Father's Day!
I just wanted to take a minute to say happy Father's Day to the bestest Daddy in the world!
I know it's late, but it's the thought that counts, right?
Brad, thank you for being the best Daddy any little girl could wish for!We love you!

I'm Back!
Sorry it's been so long!
Thanks to all of you that took time to make your presence known! I must confess, I've been to all of your blogs a time or two! :-) Please don't think I was upset because no one was signing the guestbook...just curious!
Well, Miss Juliana is now 18 months old! We went to the Dr. for her checkup yesterday. She is 33" tall and weighs almost 27 pounds! (She weighed 20 at 9 mo., 21 at 12 mo.) We had been starting to get an itty-bitty bit concerned because she wasn't gaining weight, but she made up for it! The good news-we got all the pokies out of the way for a few years! YAY! Sorry, but holding my (screaming) baby down while a nurse pokes needles in her is not exactly my idea of fun.
Speaking of screaming....she's talking!! She's been talking a fair bit all along, but in the last few day she's been yapping about everything! While sitting in the the waiting room at the Dr's office, whe was looking at her coloring book, asking me what everything was ("Wha's 'is?")and repeating it after me. We talked about boys (most of them are "bubby"), girls, bears (Boo), birds (also Boo), Starfish, Berries (sounds like bears), baskets, and hippos. When we came to a zebra, I told her it was (or course) a zebra, to which she replied 'no, horse'. Don't ask me where she learned it - I'm just her mother!!
If she falls, we always ask if she's ok, so now anytime she trips or falls down she jumps up and says " 'k! "
Today she learned to say 'Cade' (a little boy where we sometimes work), and 'cold', and 'more'. She says 'thank you' when she gives you something - and sometimes even when YOU give HER something! :-) She can sing "The B-I-B-L-E", at least the"B-I-B" part...and she can also say 'Jesus', but if you ask her if she loves Jesus, she says no. However, she doesn't love the devil either, so that's a good thing! (She does love Mommy, though.)
Needless to say, we're having fun with our little talker, and she seems to be having fun learning!
She loves to talk about and look at 'Goggies', but since Thor (our dog who is about the size of a small pony and very bouncy) tried to jump on her and another little dog tried to bite her, she's gets a little worried if they get too close to her. We're working on that! She likes kitties, too, but doesn't know quite what to do with them. (Kitties say 'wow', by the way; goggies say 'woowoo')
You're probably getting tired of hearing about all the cute things Juju says, but I'll leave you with this one. It never fails to make people laugh when someone walks out of her sight, because she always throws her little hands up in the air and says in the most confused voice, "where'd'e go?"
