First Day of School!!!

Jayci started preschool this week and is really enjoying it. She goes 3 days a week and just in the mornings as she still needs a nap EVERY day. The first day she was a little apprehensive but did fine and didn't even realize that I was not in the room anymore. The next day I dropped her off and she said, "Bye, Mom." She didn't even want me to stay long enough to sign her in. She is so independent. Her favorite activities are painting, playing with shaving cream, and washing the babies during their outside time. She is so big.

Cade and I are enjoying the time together too. He is getting more naps and that means I am getting more down at home. However, until the Olympics are over, I will not be 100% effective. I find myself sitting on my butt staring at NBC most of the day. BTW, you should DVR the Olympics. it is the most awesome way to watch! You can skip all the other competitors and events you aren't interested in. Also FF through all the instant replays - YUK!

Life feels somewhat normal now and like it might settle down to a rhythm i can keep up with. Of course, I'll get a pace just about the time little Sprout gets here. Oh well, it will be nice to feel normal if only for a moment.

Lots of Love!

Technical Difficulties

So I missed a week of posting for you. Sorry about that - we've had some technical difficulties at our house. Our electricity in the kitchen freaked out this week, getting extremely bright before going out altogether. Matt was cleaning the floors when this happened (he wants full credit for cleaning and not just standing) and he said it was like being in a tanning bed. So the lights went out completely for a day and then just came on when they felt like it for the next day. The electrician came by and of course, they worked so we have no idea what's wrong. He did fix a couple of the outlets that were out though.

All that to say . . . it screwed up my computer and our modem for a few days and I was unable to get online.

History - NO we didn't feel the earthquake that was a couple of weeks ago in LA. Everyone around here did. One lady I talked to was actually thrown out of the boat and into the lake. WOW! We were in the car, of course. Matt was devastated. He is desperate to feel a big one. I could care less. Give me a tornado any day over an earthquake. At least there's some prediction in those.

Jayci touched the burner on the stove top and burned her hand pretty bad a couple of weeks ago. It immediately blistered and I took her to urgent care. They put some fancy cream on it and wrapped it pretty good. I guess it wasn't too bad since they didn't refer us anywhere. She is fine now but insists that she still has a hurt hand and can't wash/dry it properly.

She is doing so well at swimming lessons though. This week she jumped out, went under the water, turned around and reached back for the side. I was SHOCKED! She usually freaks about going all the way under. We switch teachers this week and I'm a little nervous about that. She's only there for a few more weeks and then preschool!!

Cade is hilarious! He is saying so many things these days! Just today Matt took them to the pet store while I was in the craft store and he pointed to a clown fish and said, "Memo." We were amazed. Some of his other favorites: "Big Boy" - in which he holds his hands high over his head, " . . . .LO" - every time the phone rings, and my favorite, "Go, go, go!" when I turn any baseball game on TV.

Pictures next time!
