Catching Up

We' re back! The computer has been fixed and updated, but so much has happened in the last week. First of all, I'd ordered a new Macbook (my first call from Visa Fraud Alert!) for Jonathan so that he could write papers in the library at school. That showed up on Tuesday and we've been having a blast playing with it ever since. That's Elena playing her faviorite Build-a-Bear game.


I also decided to start showing Elena how to spell her name. She loves singing the ABC song and I showed her all the letters on our whiteboard, then wrote her name out. She wanted to try it too, and this was the result. That's the "a" on top of the "n." Still, a pretty good job for her first try.


Joseph has been enjoying the newly cleaned floor and hall--maybe a little more than he ought to. I wanted to see how he'd do on the stairs, but he was a little too tired to really give it a go. Our biggest trouble now is that he zooms over to the dinning area and eats cheerios that fell on the floor at breakfast.


As for the Days Not Pictured, the kids and I went to the Botanical Gardens on Wednesday, and visited Gwamma and Popa afterward to play with the cats and get the computer fixed. All four of us went to CROP Walk on Saturday. It was cold and blustery but the pancakes helped and the music was really fun (go Rick!). Poor Joseph had the hardest time falling asleep and while the blanket covered most of him, his chin got a bit sun-and-wind burned during his nap.
