Things always seem to get so busy at the beginning of the school year. I almost feel like I can't keep up! Ammon is coming to life- he has started reaching for things, cooing and even laughs every now and then. He still spends most of his time looking at us with a slightly shocked expression- like we are all crazy and out of our minds- but he is beginning to smile more.
The girls are LOVING school and Sarah has joined the Jr. High Volleyball team. She has practices before school every morning at 6am!!! She and Rachel got a cold/flu illness and she missed some practices so she won't be able to play in the first few games but she is excited and can't wait to ride the bus to and from the out of town games with the other girls. Getting up at 5am every morning has been hard but has turned into a good thing- we all get up and read scriptures and say prayers as a family. It is really nice to have some time together in the morning as a family and to not be as rushed. Then I take Sarah into town and I often get to go walking with friends- which I LOVE and doesn't feel like exercise... except for the heavy breathing... and red face.
Gabriel is keeping busy with his usual things- playing ball, fighting, helping Mommy and playing with his cousins- who he is in love with and wants to see EVERY day!
Rick is busy working and helping out at home. He gets bombarded when he walks in the door with hugs from the girls and wife- a 3 year old who is always hiding wanting 'Daddy Richard' to find him and a new baby eager to 'coo' at him about his day. I seem to be getting over the whole Postpartum thing just in time to spill boiling water on my arms and hands and then catch a nasty cold/flu. Thankfully my arms and hands are fine- just itchy and peeling now and the cold/flu illness is gone. Back to life!
