Some Random

* Our computer offed itself. I don't know how else to say it, except that it just gave up working...seemingly out of sheer exhaustion. Hence, no recent photos to post. Hence, not much time spent online. Hence, a new computer almost ready to go.

* My sister Ali suggested that I add a virtual Poetry Corner to my blog and has graciously offered the first submission. That will be up shortly.

* Gage is still finding his way in Kindergarten - it's been a more dramatic change for both of us than either of us expected. But he's hanging in there, and beginning to enjoy it more, and his handwriting is totally blossoming. He learns a new sight word every week, and is solid on at least ten of them so far. (I, am, we, can, go, like, see, the, play, and)

* Lila is completely in love with preschool and always looks forward to her time there. She's an eager and happy student.

* Josie is almost a year old (!!!) and she and I are, sigh, finished nursing. I had hoped to go longer but it just wasn't going to happen...for either of us. I have a lot of feelings on the subject that maybe I can go into in another, not-random post.

* Mike is busy, busy, busy working and doing side jobs and putting a fence in our backyard.

* I just watched the movie Temple Grandin and loved it, would definitely recommend.

* Tonight I am making twelve pounds of meatballs.

I'm so glad that Gage is starting to adjust to Kindergarten, and that Lila loves school!
Happy Birthday to Josie!!!

I'm coming for the meatballs.

That being said, Happy Birthday, Josie! We enjoyed her party. Wish Nate could have come, too. He definitely missed out.

Glad you are back to blogging. I've been left with very little to entertain me online lately. Disappointing!

Hey, those sight words are totally familiar! They must have a set list they use across all the Ks in Bethlehem. Makes sense!

Happy Birthday to Josie! She's gotten so big (a la your Christmas card!). And sorry to hear that the nursing stopped sooner than you would have liked. It was like that for me with Kate--at 11 months, we had just made it as far as we both were going to make it. It was mutual, but not what I had per se wanted.

Wish we could see you all sometime. Don't know when, but maybe we can make a playdate!
