Updates?!?
What happened to the blog updates? Paul’s been busy - this is definitely the busiest time at work so the updates/photos/videos are very few.
Last weekend I did a fair amount of gardening in the yard. I cleaned up and planted some items in the planters that run along the back of the house. I planted some autumn mumms, salvia, hebe, and huckleberry. I even planted a tropical canna which can grow in almost any condition. We’ll see how this turns out.
Zach had his first swim lesson of the year on Thursday. He had gone thru swim lessons last fall also - but he was a little too young for it to be helpful. So I took him to his first lesson this year. He couldn’t wait to get in the water, but he did he wanted to get out. The pool had been refilled a few days earlier so it was still on the cool side and Zach, like his mom, likes warm water. He really liked it when I through him high in the air and he really enjoyed going underwater. He did not like swimming on is back - that freaked him out.
Nate has been a great little baby. I held him for over an hour the other night at PEPS and he just stared, smiled, and hung out. He’s definitely getting bigger - no longer that little 8lb kid that we had in early July. he’s easily in the 13lb range now.
Today we are going to attempt to go to the Puyallup Fair…this will be Zach’s first chance to ride some amusement rides (yes, they have rides for two year olds). Otherwise, we’ll probably do house cleaning, yard stuff, and watch football.
