List

Here's a list of some random things in our lives and on my mind these days.

-Annie is a "do-it-myself" girl. Don't you DARE pick her up when she's walking somewhere, or she'll squirm out of your arms. Don't try to help her with anything! She WILL do it herself.
-We own a pack-n-play for the first time ever and it is an amazing gift- Annie can't climb out!!! WAHOO! (Huge thanks to our friends who gave it to us!)
-I have been sleeping well now that the kids aren't coming to jump in my bed at 3 am every night - yippee!!
-I can't do a pull-up (even though I think I'm strong since I carry my kids everywhere... I guess I'm not that strong-oh well.)
-Will spends most of his time banging plastic bowling pins on the coffee table as a make-shift drum.
-When Will is not 'drumming', he is usually playing guitar, piano or trumpet
-I took Will on a date to a student recital yesterday and he just sat riveted- his eyes glued to the musicians, taking everything in. Yesterday evening he added viola and clarinet to his repertoire of instruments he 'plays'. This kid likes music.
-Will likes to say "I know." - and if you don't reply with "I know you know", he'll prompt you. It's one of his favorite things to hear people say (especially his Pappa).
-The other day we had to hike up the mountain in a hailing thunderstorm - monsoon is on it's way.
-Annie now says "o-oh" like a native 'american' speaker (hmm this could be confusing...) and she tries to mimic all our other words with varying degrees of success.
-My honey bought me a garden hose and there are a couple of buds coming on my garden plants. -I made candles last week and I worked on my Hindi a tiny bit.
-My days are generally exceedingly lonely and dreary and I feel completely forgotten...
-I'll be missing my little brother's wedding in 9 days! :( Wish we could be there.
