long time no post

Well my goal was to try and update once a week, and I have failed miserably this last month. I will try and play catch up. Since the Parent's Magazine contest, we have been quite busy with Makena and her "modeling" career. She was signed by an agent beginning of August and since then we have been on 2 auditions in LA. First was Baby Gap, and being her first audition, she was a bit timid and shy. She kept her fingers in her mouth the whole time which cost her the job. But it was fun and always good to get the experience. Last week we happened to be in LA visiting Chris's parents for a few days when our agent notified us of a casting call for Gymboree company brands (Gymboree, Janie and Jack, and Crazy 8.) So we thought, what the hell, it can't hurt to check it out and at least get the experience of another audition under her belt. She was a little timid, but not nearly as bad as the first one. There had to be at least 500 kids her age there throughout the day...it was a madhouse! Needless to say I didn't expect much to come of it. But yesterday we got a call from the agent saying that Janie and Jack loved Makena and has put her on a hold. That means she has been picked amongst their top choices, but it is still not a guarantee. It just so happens to be my absolute favorite baby store (as everyone knows!) so it couldn't be more perfect if she gets chosen. If not, it is still exciting that she made it in the top 3. So that has been my life this past month...crazy fun!!
