Wow. Too long!! Life has been full and busy...and I JUST finished uploading pictures from June...oh well, would rather have it busy than boring!
Spent an amazing 20 days in Oregon with my family. Got to see a few friends, but the kids decided they were going to pass the Crud around and so some things had to be postponed till next time! Life with kids, eh? We got to go to NW Trek, the beach, downtown...Jake had a fabulous time with Jack and Kate, got to spend some one on one time with Papa, and entertained his Nana tremendously. Phoebe just entertained everyone! She was quite the little attention grabber...teasing us with "will she crawl or won't she" and sending sunny smiles at all.
Back in the heat of AZ, Jake has started (and completed) his first round of Swim lessons. Taking to it like, well...like a duck to water! He is already swimming and floating on his own! And loves it...so perhaps this may be something to continue through the year? Only three weeks left till Kindergarten. Sigh. Is he REALLY old enough to go?? As difficult as it is to keep up with him at times, I am going to miss not having him around during the day! I suspect that first day will be harder on Mommy, than Jake!
Phoebe...well, lets just say that she is going, going, going. Started to crawl and decided she wanted to pull up and stand on her own in the same week! She is now (tentativly) cruising the living room and giving me mini-heartattacks as she lets go to balance!! Jake - 5 and half years...no ER. Phoebe - well, I'm pretty sure it will be before 2!!
Matt is heading into a burst of travel for work...about 8 trips before Christmas! I don't know whether to laugh or cry! I am so proud of him being "that person" that they send... but its hard when he is gone. Missed, very much. I'm excited that he is getting to go to some new places - Korea, Turkey (both after Christmas). He is SLIGHTLY excited too!
Well, now that things have gotten into a groove, will do better with posting over the next few weeks...maybe.
