Dude, either you lost your cell phone, or it's turned off. It goes to voice mail on the first ring when I call. You're making me crazy here, girl. Did you forget to turn it back on after church or something?!!! Call me. Jake misses Lana. And when I'm bored, you're supposed to be there to talk to me. ;o)
*edited* P finally called me yesterday afternoon. She'd been out of town with no cell phone reception. I almost died laughing when she said "I promise I'm not trying to phase you out!" (If you're a hard-core "Friends" fan like us, that's HILARIOUS.) We had a good time catching up (because we hadn't talked since *gasp* Friday!!!), but we won't be able to squeeze in seeing each other until next week, unless Saturday magically works out. :o( (We usually see each other 2 or 3 times a week. Sometimes I feel like I'm in high school, with the way we act [in a good way, though]). She is SOOOO funny, you guys. I'm so lucky to have such a cool friend.

Kel --
I was thinking this morning about your problem of lifting the boys up . . . Jake is 40 pounds, too, and when I have to lift him over a baby gate, I straddle the gate, then lean over and grab Jake around the waist but he's kind of in the crook of my elbow. I used my entire arm to hold him against me, then I lean up and over the gate and put him down -- no picking him up involving the wrists at all. maybe if you did it that way, it would be less painful?

LOL. That is BIG! Jake is 41 inches tall. Sometimes I think he's a little freak of nature. (And I mean that in a very loving, mommy way.) heh. I get weird looks ALL the time when I tell people how old he is. I'm glad he's almost 3, then saying he's two won't be so weird. ;o)

OMG Your Jake sounds just like my Jacob. Is it totally just in the Jacob blood to tell you where to turn. It sounded like i had written that post. Maybe it is just a three year old thing. I am so glad i am not the only one. Thanks for sharing
