Long Time No See

Wow - 2 months at least?!

Quick Update:

Chelsea said Da Da first. Now wants her ba ba, which is binkey, Ma Ma when really upset, Da Da whenever she sees or hears me, and Da Da goes Buh Bye to work. She is also crawling everywhere and so close to walking. She pulls herself up and lets go but just can't get more than 1 maybe 2 steps consistently, sometimes 3 or 4 but they usually end in disaster! She is now up to about 15lbs, loves puffies and sleeps pretty much most nights through.

Dylan said Ma Ma first. Mom wins one! He is desperately trying to crawl, and getting very close. He is now up to 18lbs and pushing every day. He eats puffies like a machine and is sleeping pretty well through the night. He did say Da Da and Ba's a lot, and is talking more and more each day.

Caleb is amazing. Each day I am more and more proud of him. He is learning to ride his bike, enjoys riding with me on mine, loves playing in the pool and being outside in general, and is too darn smart for his own good. His vocabulary is more than most 1st and 2nd graders, and his knowledge of the letters, sounds and numbers is spot on (up to 11 at least). He has words of the week - not from us, just learns something new and likes to use it (correctly I might add). For example: "Actually Mommy, I'd like to do this," or "Actually Mommy, I think you are supposed to do that."

Most of the days are spent outside as much as possible until as late as possible. The babies love it (even if it is too hot for them) and Caleb now hates being inside (well, would much rather be outside). He plays very well by himself when he needs too, but would obviously enjoy as much attention as possible. Chelsea now plays by herself some too - because she can move around. Once Dylan can move I'm sure he will as well.

Leah and I still need more us time, but that will come as they enjoy having more time to themselves, and are more manageable for a sitter (TWO) to handle. Emmie and Grammie McClure spend a lot of time with us, and MB has been helping out as well.

Work is going great - we are now at about 80%+ capacity and working a full lease for longer term and the entire building - hopefully. A client from Switzerland has decided to take our building for large scale metal work, cleaning it, sandblasting it (probably more like glass beads) and repainting it. POTENTIALLY. He is coming in tomorrow to make a decision with his partner here and we should know more then.

Who it is and what it is for is still hush hush!


More ... probably in 2 months!
