Sarah’s Thoughts: As I started this entry, I began rambling about making plans for summer days and then realized that I always want to talk about time or weather or seasons here. I wonder why that is. Because they are topics I think about when I feel reflective or because they are light and apply to everyone? Maybe its because thinking about the summer sun seems pretty exciting compared with changing diapers and picking up after kids. There are other topics I could tackle, like the obnoxious amount of cheese we consume or my super human tolerance for listening to the same CD in the car for months on end. But see, maybe you really would rather hear about the weather...
Luke Update: 95% Baby! No more math! I am so proud of my hard-working, husband who faithfully did nothing but work, eat, and math for the past 3 1/2 months. He took his test this weekend and passed with flying colors. As soon as he finished, he pulled out his fly tying bench and started working on some steelhead flies. He’s headed out of town next week for a trip with his buddy, Adam, so finished that math just in time! I feel like I have to work pretty much non-stop to keep up on things around the house so without Luke, I can’t manage much besides the bare essentials. However, now that he’s a free man again, maybe we can tackle some of those projects that have been pushed aside... Or maybe we’ll just go out on the boat instead!
Owen Update: My little guy is really amazing. His memory, his creativity, observing to his little brain at work. I’m sure most people with kids this age feel the same way. He is definitely the biggest talker in our house and can hardly manage much else. Eating, for example, can be really difficult since it requires putting food in your mouth. Most every second of every day involves some sort of pretending game. Lately, he’s been role-playing members of the cat family- Simba and Nala, lions, tigers, cougars... I was brushing his teeth tonight and he was being the “Tawny Scrawny Lion”. As I’m brushing he sputters with foamy mouth, “Mom, you’re uppose to say, ‘Wow Tawny Scrawny! You have sharp teeth!’ I obey.
Annabelle Update: The most rapidly changing member of our family has been pretty mellow for the last few weeks. Although she won't be crawling for awhile yet, our little Annabellie is scooting an awful lot. This afternoon I sat her on the floor in the kitchen, facing the refrigerator. When I looked down at her again a few minutes later, she’d scooted her body 180 degrees, still in the sitting position. Not sure how she managed that! She does the same scooting thing while laying on her tummy, mostly moving backwards and in circles. She gets pretty frustrated, since forward is the only direction that she really wants to head. Keep at it, little girl!
