Ugg!

I'm so sad. I can't figure out how to post pictures with our new computer. I thought I'd figured it out but it turns out I'm mistaken. I guess that's why it's been so long since I've posted anything. I'll keep working on it and see what I can do. Don't go away...

What's New the End of September 2010

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted anything. Darn that facebook account...

Indi is 16, almost 17 month old. She's signing a lot to communicate, says Momma and Dadda amongst a few others. She has little trouble getting her point across.

Ella is 9 and just wrapped up her 3rd week of 4th grade. Her teachers name is Mrs. Kopesky. Ella's been enjoying being a back in school and trading "silly bands" for stuff. Or maybe trading stuff (like a piece of gum) for a silly band.

Happy will be 11 in a few short weeks. He's playing football and played both defense and offense today. They also won their game against Mounds View 34-0. Fifth grade includes starting in band and we're going to have a trombone player. No trombone yet, if anyone has one they'd like to lend/sell we're interested.

Lydia if off to Milwaukee in four days for a childbirth convention. It'll be my first time away from Indigo. Struggling with those feelings a bit. Hope the pump works!

John's gearing up for a big selling season. Go on out and buy some wine. Then drink it. Sleep a bit and repeat. Thanks.

Another text post. This afternoon Indi was humming Hot Cross Buns. Or at least something similar. Happy had to learn to play the recorder for school music this year and that was on the play list. Ella picked it up as well. Indigo found Ella's recorder today and started walking around humming. I played the music for her and she bobbed her head and danced a little, took the recorder back from me and continued on her with her day.

Communication

This morning Indigo woke up about 7:45 and I nursed her in bed with John falling back asleep next to us. When she was done I moved her over by John to cuddle as she was falling back asleep. As she laid there wiggling her head into just the right wedge of pillow, eyes closed, she held her hand up and made the drinking sign and then the milk sign. Too cute. I had to share.

"Da-da" & Bellybuttons

Third Child Syndrome

Some days are busier than others and Indi's figured out she may have to feed herself. Oops!

Spring has sprung!
