It's been a while

I feel like we've been running crazy lately. I'm not sure that our schedule has been different, but it has just felt wild.

Hans has joined Cub Scouts. He's very proud of his new uniform. Today he is to build a rocket which will be launched at an event in 2 weeks. He is getting along well in school and has joined an afterschool computer club.

Moses continues to be highly energetic. Last week he had a febrile illness and spiked temps to 104.9F. Fevers put me on edge, but it was over in 24 hr. He really is part of the family now. He's been with us for not quite 6 months, but everyone is finding their places.

Jamie's golf schedule is winding down with one last tourney this upcoming weekend, but, of course, hunting season is ramping up. His practice continues to grow given the expansion of the surrounding communities.

I was at Duke University last week for some training, but otherwise my work is pretty steady. I'm looking forward to a couple of upcoming conferences in Oct and Feb.

We'll see ya later!

September 6

Today Jamie mowed lawn, and Moses helped!? Also Mo has a fondness for blondes, and the granddaughter across the street is no exception. He blows her kisses when they say good-bye!

Hans and I went to the AKC dog show at the State Fairgrounds. We didn't stay too long; it's not as good as the Westminster show on TV. Jamie and I are trying to spend specific time alone with Hans, so that he still feels "special". It's got to be difficult being an only child for 6 yr and then suddenly having a brother who garners a lot of attention. However, Hans is adapting better to Moses. He's not as angry, now that Mo gets time-outs too. It sure didn't seem fair when Moses was learning the rules of the house, and Hans still had to be accountable for them.

Tonight is our first night at home as a family since ... we can't remember when! Chinese takeout, a Sponge-Bob movie, and wine. It can't get much better.

That our family happenings....

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Moses on Labor Day

Someone asked me yesterday if I thought Moses was adjusting to American ways. Yep, I think so. Today he was relaxing on the couch with his drink watching cartoons in his diaper. Can't be too much more American than that!
