7 Quick Takes

1.  The reason for the lack of posts lately is well, see below.  Some short little person stepped on the laptop and boke the screen.  It is beyond frustrating to use!  You have to minimize the screen you're using and then move it around to be able to see. Ugh...another thing to replace!
2.  Eric has been working a TON.   Below is a picture I took a few weeks ago when Eric was post call.  Poor guy.  He loves the time he's able to spend with the kids. You should see their faces when he gets home.  They clobber him and he's so happy.


 3.  The kids are doing well saying their prayers.  Even Elina joins in!  When she folds her hands, it looks like I Dream of Jeanie. Brandt is very good at reminding me when I forget to say a prayer before we eat and makes sure that his siblings are also folding their hands.  He also likes to say numerous prayers during the meal and before bedtime :).

4.  Elina took her first steps a few weeks ago!  She can take several at a time, but still crawls and then stands up everywhere.  Less than a month to her birthday!

5.  Elina is saying several words...mama, dada, bug, poopoo (a common word around here!), and hi.  Eric taught her how to do a high five the other day.  It's so cute!   Oh, and she's begun to use silverware.  I think she's going to be an over achiever in life:)

6.  Costco opened up yesterday!  I've been waiting oh so patiently. It was completely packed but I managed to get most of the things on my list. The opening was a huge event in Augusta.  Seriously, it is the talk of the town.  The mayor and news crews were even at the opening.

7.  The boys have become such big helpers with picking up.  They enjoy putting their dishes away which is such a huge help.  We're sticll working on putting their toys away, though.  For some reason, they tend to get too tired to help with that.  Hmmm....
