Passport

Because we are going on a cruise in about a month, I just got my new passport and my heart sank as I got it in the mail because my old one wasn't returned - and so many memories were inside it. Luckily I re-read the fine print and your old one gets sent back in a separate mailing. Just thinking that 10 yrs ago Brie's papa and I were in Switzerland exploring the country and bungee jumping off gondolas. I remember our little rental car zipping up the Alps and Brian intently reading the map. My passport has been quiet over the last 4 years but I am glad that Brie has encouraged me to take a big trip and get it stamped again. I hope her passport is filled with stamps over the years and that someday I can give her Brian's as a keepsake!

Big Girl Bed

Brie has been asking me every day for a big girl bed. I like the security of having her in a crib (and locked up!) but she's growing up...faster than I can mentally keep up with. So I went on Amazon and got her a toddler bed. It will fit her crib mattress but be close to the ground and have regular bedding..with a pillow and all. We will see. I put the crib and changing table on Craiglist and so far no reply :( I'll post some photos of the big girl bed when it comes!!
