Another Update

Ugh, I really have to bore you with more updates, or I won't deserve a blog. Not that things have been boring around here--to the contrary! Donna and Elizabeth are visiting and Trevor is having a blast with his cousin. He smiles and smiles and smiles at her. We all went to da Vinci days last weekend, we hosted a party for Carolyn's birthday, and Elizabeth has had gelato every day. Tomorrow we are headed to Mt. Hood to cheer Todd on as he runs 50 miles. Next week it's off to North Carolina for Scott & Sally's wedding--how exciting! I hope there's a swimmin' hole.

I've been meaning to update this thing, but it's after 11 and I just want to read then go to sleep. Well, okay, since millions are logging on to check it out daily, I better just do it.
Sometimes I feel bad for babies, not knowing how to do anything, even the really basic stuff like drinking a glass of water or going to the fridge and getting a snack. The young hero of this blog is trying to figure it out and it looks exhausting! Just watching is tiring. Tonight he played what looked like an eighteen hole game of disc golf with a plastic lid, and it was well after his regularly scheduled bedtime.
Suddenly, he understands when we talk to him! If I say, go sit in your chair and we'll read some books, he will grab a book and sit in his blue recliner. Throw the ball, hand me this, who's at the door? Where's the kitty? Stuff like that, and who knows what else, it's hard to tell if he's getting the philosophical stuff yet. Okay, now I really want to stop looking at the screen. Bye.
