August Happenings

As predicted our posts have diminished now that my parents are home. We have kept busy catching up with them and helping them settle down. We even managed to organize a family yard sale. The purpose was to get rid of "stuff" that had been sitting around for three years and to make room for newer "stuff" that was shipped from Taiwan.

With the shipment came tons of things for William to play with. He got not one, not two but three bikes. Of course the one he likes the most is the one where he can just sit and let someone else do the work.

One of our outdoor adventures involved a kite. Actually there were five kites all on the same line. Even with only a light breeze it stayed up really well. It was funny to listen to William tell it what to do. "Not too high! Come down here! You're going to crash, better be careful!"

In all the comings and goings the boys still love to spend time together. William is our big helper, getting toys or burp cloths for Matthew. Matthew in turn loves to watch William play and his eyes are constantly trying to keep up with his older brother.

Even after all we do this is still a regular sight between 11-2pm. It use to be that I had the bed to myself during nap time but somehow the boys have found it more comfortable to crash with mom than to stay in their own beds.
