It seems we're always playing catch-up!

So here we go again! It turns out that being on bed rest is boring. When you are stuck on the couch for several days, you run out of things to do. I finished the last season of the Gilmore Girls last night - and now am devastated to find that while I had entertainment in watching that yesterday - today I am stuck with whats actually on TV - which is NOTHING during the day. Also, there are only so many things you can search for/research/look at online. My ideas are running slim. The book I am currently reading, while fascinating, hasn't been able to pull me in during this couch period. So hey - we'll take a crack at updating this blog (getting rid of the holiday background!). I'm also thinking I might just have to tackle that photo project - finally ordering prints of all of those digital pictures we've taken in the past year. Yeah - they tend to pile up between print orders.

So lets bring this up to speed. Currently, I am incubating the next additions to our family - twins - who should be making their debut this fall. Totally scary and exciting and exhausting and crazy all at once. Twins do not run in my family, and while we were getting "help" in this area and knew it was a 'risk', I don't think either of us expected it. But they are in there, cooking away and are now looking like people instead of those goofy alien-like creatures they start out like. Having two babies tumbling around in your belly is much different than one - a rather fascinating/odd experience. I can't wait until you can see them kicking through the belly. That should be quite entertaining.

Josiah turned three back in March - and continues to amaze us every day. He's so smart and also so cunning. He is now working on tricking us, learning to lie, bargain, negotiate and talk back. Its such a great age though - even with all of these new skills. He tells jokes, makes up stories, makes us laugh constantly and is always on the run. We recently got him a powerwheels 'Hummer' (cheap, at a garage sale). This has been hilarious to watch. The first night when he got on it, it was still in need of a little tinkering - it was stuck in high gear. He sat down, buckled up and hit the gas - and freaked himself out by how fast he took off. Then Steve, who was going to walk alongiside him, had to take off running because the thing was going too fast for a leisurely stroll. It was highly entertaining to watch. I'll get a video posted one of these days.

And there you have it sports fans! We're now just gearing up for summer - enjoying the warm weather, the pool, the lake, etc. I've got myself a nice new chair to lounge outside so I can still be "resting" but enjoy the activities and sunshine. One of these days, we'll master this whole "keep the blog updated" business.. :)
