her first real chew of bubble gum!
the first taste, she said it tasted like strawberries!
getting ready to give it a taste!
examining her gum and all it's glory!
handing over her first piece of gum!
on the way to colorado gabriella got her first piece of gum in the morning of our second day of driving!
she was thrilled!

a quick note.

alright well today is the 3rd and i still haven't blogged this month!
i had high hopes for this month, and i'm still going to try to do it, but sometimes life gets in the way.
like feeling extremely sick one night
or
feeling like i just found out i was pregnant and having that tiredness that went along with it all over again.
this i was definitely not planning on and it is really putting a kink in my plans for the month.
or
if you computer decides it doesn't want to work anymore and won't even turn on to let you access your pics. or do anything for that matter.
so...
i will keep pressing on!
today is another day and i need to muster up some energy and kick into high gear around here!
laundry, unpacking, repacking, wrapping for parties this weekend, school drop off and pick up. just to list a few of the jobs on my plate for today.
a full plate indeed!
ok i'm off and running...well i might not run, speed walking is more like it at this point!
