turns out im not very good at this. or timely i guess you could say. so this post will be dedicated to our st louis weekend getaway. we abandoned poor jove at the grandparents house and off we went. so sad. we had a good time though. little ball game. little zoo. little museum. little mall. the usual. so fun. especially since michael and melanie went with us. 
thats anthony. or at least thats what we named him. i think it fits.
and of course a pic of the jove. how could i resist. she is almost 1. thats a whole year old. feels impossible. she is doing all kinds of fun things these days. and at least one new thing per day. always an adventure. she is walking and climbing. she says what the puppy dog says. but since our puppy dog doesnt bark she thinks they just pant. so that is how she communicates with dogs. she will talk on the telephone. dance to any and all music. even if its just me singing a narrative about what im doing ex: "mixing up yummy squash a doo wop" she claps and waves. she plays peek a boo and keep away with the dog. she loves swinging. she gives kisses. thats probably my favorite thing she does. ive been giving kisses for almost a whole year, its about time i got a little return on the deal.
so maybe this is a jovie post and not a vacation post. it happens.
anyway her bday party is saturday though i have not sent a single invitation. im pretty excited. maybe that can be my next post.
to be continued...
