| I started to do this update last week as I usually would, and I discovered my external hard drive quit working! All my pictures and all the scans of my scrapbooks were on it, so needless to say I was too disheartened to actually update the website! Fortunately most of the photos are backed up, so we probably only lost two weeks worth. And I haven't completely given up hope that we can retrieve them eventually. But for now you'll have to imagine all the pics I took to go along with this journaling! 4/25 We went to Andy’s wedding a week ago. It was so awesome to get to see all our OU friends again so soon. And he was so happy! It was great to see. Serenity stayed with her Aunt Jennifer, Barrett and Casey. Evidently they had a blast! She only napped for 30 minutes in the car, but she was happy and excited the whole time! She ate popcorn chicken, French fries, all her sweet potatoes and fruit that I’d packed, and puffs!! So she got along for five hours with no milk with no problem! She thinks the boys are the coolest things ever. She can even kind of say Casey! She would walk right to him and he’d tickle her, and she has the cutest smile and giggle! She’s been mimicking sounds a lot lately! She’s been saying quack more and more clearly every time we play with her duckies or read about ducks in books. And then on a walk I was pointing out cars and trucks, and she clearly repeated truck! And she tried to say car too, but truck was more impressive =) And then she can kind of say kick, and now Casey! She likes the “k” sound =) She is walking so steadily! Today she walked from Jen’s playroom, to her living room, and back to the playroom to follow Little Casey. Amazing!! I then followed her all over Dad’s house. Now I don’t have to worry as much about her falling down as her getting into stuff. =) That’s an issue here as there is fascinating stuff everywhere that she should not play with. There are also some fun treasures like the place Dad stores his extra water bottles and sodas in the kitchen. It’s a great place to play! She’s stopped sleeping through the night since we moved. I think the upheaval from the move disturbed her, plus we’re in the room with her so she sees us and obviously wants to get out of her bed. Eventually she’ll get back to it. It could also now be teeth as the seventh tooth appears to be coming in. It’s her third top tooth! We’ve had lots of fun with Barrett and Casey, going to the park and soccer games. Last week we also had a party for Mom’s birthday! Her new kitchen is amazing, Kelly is a genius! The kids had a great time racing trikes around the deck and playing together. Eric got the kids to climb all over him. =) We had great Mexican food, of course. Barrett turned on Scooby Doo, which is his current obsession that he apparently passed on to Raegan. It’s fun to get to watch cartoons I loved as a child with them. Yay for vintage cartoons =) |
