the guy came out today and had to replace the motor capacitor.
Not bad considering we've had the machine for 10 years and have only had to replace a belt and the capacitor. Go Maytag!!
Nathan is talking more. If only we could understand him! His "1,2,3!" sounds more like "uh, tuh, TUH!"
He loves to sing.
We found out that the baby is a girl! Have I mentioned that already? can't remember
I went through the baby clothes the other day. I started sorting them to wash the tiny stuff but then realized that I should probably wait a few more months. =)
Some friends had a little boy Wednesday. We went to see him on Thursday. I just love holding newborns. And they smell so yummy!
The girls are doing well with their schoolwork.
Catie prefers reading to anything else including schoolwork. =)
Emma like Math and Astronomy.
She has also taken it upon herself to start writing in cursive. Guess I should work on teaching her the proper way.
Beka continues along in her Prep/Kindgergarten work.
She really enjoys the books we've gotten from the Mennonites.
And she has a third and hopefully final hearing test next week. I guess they want to make sure that the one she passed wasn't a fluke.
Further to yesterday's clever post I wanted to mention that except for the backing on the bookshelves every single step to go from live tree to awesome bookshelves was done by Mark!
And they even have some of the distressing with a hammer that's really popular in blogland right now thanks to a little helper. It's like the signature on a great piece of art. =)
We are headed to Atherton in a couple of weeks. That's where Floyd and Gwen spend most of their time. So we thought we'd check it out.
It's a 20 hour drive at least. ugghhh! But we'll be there for two weeks or so.
Gwen has been home for the last 6 weeks or so. It's been so nice to have her home. The girls love spending time with her and Nathan really warmed up to her too. Which is awesome!!
She's planning to watch the kids for us in September.
Josh and I are heading to Montville for 4 days in September to celebrate 10 years of marriage! Yay for us!
I believe there needs to be more focusing on and celebrating of marriages/anniversaries.
I'm sure there's more to say but that's enough for now.
In case you didn't know, but I'm sure you did, that's an ultrasound picture of #5 up the top.
