Still Alive....Barely!

So, we are moved into our new house (sort of). And both Dorothy's house and our house are empty (sort of). So much has happened in the last month that I thought I would post an update. There was a two week stretch in June where we didn't take a single picture. Not one. That is highly unusual for us. We take about 500 pictures of the kids each month, no joke. So here is what we've been up to interspersed with random pictures that I happen to have on this laptop because I haven't figured out how to access my desktop remotely to upload pictures.

Releasing a frog that we found into the wild of our backyard

Jane:
Crawling for about a month
Two teeth on the bottom and the top ones are ready to pop through any day
Pulling herself to standing for a few days now
Clapping
Imitating Adam's screams (charming)

I love that they can bathe together now, Jane only gets submerged about every 2 minutes.

Adam:
Potty training for three weeks now
Longest stretch without and accident? 5 days
Starting a preschool co-op two days/week this fall
Went to his first amusement park and is an official adrenaline junkie
Had two weeks of swim lessons and can jump into the pool with his life vest without needing to be caught.
Can also "swim" with his life vest on

This is about half of the chocolate that Dorothy and I had combined. We have issues.

Scott:
Enjoyed having every other Friday off again this summer
Has totally buff biceps after moving two households
Loves taking Adam swimming
Completed the essential task of getting the home theater set up in the new house

After weeks of sleeping on a mattress on the floor, we have a box spring!!!

April:
Realized that bigger house = more to clean
Thinks the Christmas Tree Shop is of the Devil, except when you need curtains and rods for every window in your house!!!
Made pickles and mis-measured the salt, they may work as a salt lick on a farm.
Went about a month without blogging or checking Facebook, it can be done!
