Well, what to say. We are still plugging away a day at a time. Life is somewhat crazy with everyone out of school. Needless to say, the house is messier and I’m “ruining their life” if I ask them to do anything “not fun.” Aren’t they just so picked on?
Jason is already complaining of being bored, but he is enjoying his time down in Nephi playing with cousins. He also has read several books (we try to make it to the library pretty often).
David seems to be happier these days. He continues to be a terrific big brother to AJ. He’s also good with Maddie as long as the other two aren’t around. He enjoys just playing for endless hours outside. He and Jason have planted their own garden in the Jr. High baseball dirt, which is just on the other side of the fence (it’s the dirt that they use at the end of the season to repair the diamond). “I’m not sure if anything will grow, but they are having a great time.
All of the kids have been having good time swimming. Maddie is working on floating, but she has a hard time relaxing enough. Jason enjoys jumping off the diving board. David is just happy to play and splash everyone around him. He and Jason also like to pretend to be sharks and sneak up on the rest of us. AJ loves to be dunked under the water, but doesn’t like to jump off the edge into the water.
AJ continues to delight us with the cute things that he says and does. When we went to the dentist he wanted to have his teeth cleaned and do everything that the older kids did even though they don’t normally do that on 3 year olds because they don’t want to scare them. He opened wide for them so that they could look at the damage that he’s done from sucking his thumb (his palate is collapsing and one of his teeth is discolored from narrowing of the nerve), the little stinker. Well, we can’t help but love him. He truly is a sweetheart.
As for Eric and I, we just celebrated our 12-year anniversary. I can hardly believe that it’s really been 12 years since I joined your family. I feel so fortunate to have such wonderful in-laws. I listen to those at work that have less than Ideal situations with their in-laws and I realized how very blessed I am. Thanks everyone!
David will be baptized on Aug. 6 at 12:40 p.m. in the stake center. Dinner will follow.
