Rainy Day

It rained Saturday night, most of Sunday/Sunday night, yesterday morning, last night, and it's still raining. And there's even some thunder! :) The only downside? We can't go out and swing or meet the other mothers and babies at the park. So, what do we do? Build cities and destroy them, of course!

And during nap time? Mom bakes bread, finishes the laundry, cleans the bathtub, and gets a start on some of her assignments. Those assignments (this month) include: an altered book for an international artist swap (I send mine to Australia and receive one from Singapore), a "secret" project I can't talk about until it's been posted (my most recent secret project will be posted on the 21st), and another altered project based on a Pencil Lines sketch (still not sure what I'm going to do with this one). And I've still got the July "Candy Town" kit from SIStv to work with.

If there's a break in the rain we'll take the bus to see Daddy at his lab and we'll all walk to a fabulously full used bookstore called "The Dawn Treader".

A perfect rainy day!

Visit with Family

Last night Steve's parents and two youngest brothers came up to deliver a dresser and have dinner with us. Christopher was an angel! Despite the serious lack of naps...he made it through the whole evening without a meltdown. Whew. It was so much fun to have family over for dinner! So glad they came up. In a couple weeks we're headed down to Kent for Michael and John's Eagle Court of Honor. It should be fun to get Christopher and Lindsay together...especially now that they're both crawling!

*Grandpa and Christopher spending a little quality time together...Uncle Michael and Christopher "reading".

He Can Really Do It!!!

Today Christopher can crawl. For real. Not just "carpet swimming" or "Army crawling". He can actually crawl. I'm so proud! And yet, he's getting faster, so I'm worried. Worried about all the little pieces of junk he finds to put in his mouth. Oh well. He's perfectly healthy and happy. And he can crawl! Guess he has something new to show Grandma and Grandpa tomorrow.
