It's been a little time since I've updated this, hasn't it? I hardly know where to start, so let's see. Highlights from this summer include:
-our first broken bone in the family, sustained by my 7yr old when his 9yr old cousin tripped and head butted him in his right collar bone.
-our first skin infection, in the form of my four year old's right thumb
-2year old's first words and animal sound mimicking, past the puppy barking, that is
-5year old learning first hand that no, he does not have gills, but yes, he is a VERY lucky boy
-discovery of microscopes and bug life (to the inclusion of bug traps) from the back yard
-getting the diseased birch in our front yard chopped down for a stellar price and getting exactly what we payed for (meaning, it took four days, and the free haul away included in the estimate? more of a suggestion really. But, hey, if anyone is in need of birch wood, we are your guys---- you haul)
-my kids meeting MY cousins and knowing what that means
-camping trip to Quinelt rain forest, in a tent, with all four boys
-our first roasting marshmellows campfire with our boys
-me submitting written work for the first time since high school (i'm not even gonna say when that was)
-working extra extra shifts at the hospital, thoroughly disorienting my co-workers sense of time and place
-harvesting a good amount of tomatoes, but killing my dill, and nearly the strawberries
That's all I can think of for now. More later!
