Remember

K2 had a well baby checkup. He is in the 75% for height and weight. His head is in the 25%. He likes to sit up and watch what goes on. He is quite the babbler especially and likes to say “da da da da da” over and over again. He also likes to have his mouth tapped on like the sound a child would make while playing cowboys and Indians. The baby is the Indian.

Underfoot learned the letter T, the number 2, the color brown, and made all sorts of crafts this week. He likes school, and school is a great motivator to get him to do other things like pick up toys. He is learning how to trace and color.

My major feats this week were laundry, ironing (after not doing any for a month), and curtains. The curtains “complete” the look of the room. It only took me 14 months from buying the material to putting it on rods before it was done.

L4 was busy cutting holes in the ceiling and working long days. He has started to work an extra hour so he will have “extra” time for meetings that the company asks him to go to, but he can’t get paid for those meetings. The hole in the ceiling is to put an access hatch into the garage ceiling to do all sorts of wonderful things. That is a to-be-announced project as it gets accomplished.

We were reminded to remember this week. There are lots of things to remember like birthdays (Happy Birthday Uncle David!!!), anniversaries, and other monumental days. Another thing to remember is the lessons from our past and those of grandparents, founders of nations, and our personal values. We hope that we can remember the lessons of the past to help us make wise decisions for our futures. My Great-Uncle (he is a great guy too) has been compiling stories from his father (my great-grandfather). As he has sent some of the stories to us, we have had a chance to remember the sacrifices and passions of our ancestors. Remembering is monumental and can solve conflicts and avoid poor decisions for all us.
