Update

Quick update on the kids..........

Emily is going to camp. Right now she is at her preschool and she is having alot of fun. In August she will go to a full day camp for 2 weeks at the YMCA. Hopefully it will wear her out, but I am not getting my hopes up. She is incredilbly curious about the world; and after a drink of water went down the "wrong pipe" she made me explain in technical detail -from begining to end- all the "pipes" that make up the digestive system.

Ethan is a devil with an angel's face and I love every inch of him. For the last month he has been a bear about going to bed, screaming crying and stomping feet. It has been hard not only to get him to bed but also to keep him there. I think we have won the war though. We took a hard line with him and just gated his room off and let him do his worst- regardless of wether it was bed time or the middle of the night (god bless Emily she sleeps though it all!! Emerson too actually.) Now he is done fighting it and goes to sleep with little or no protest. We do however often find him asleep on the floor behind the gate instead of his bed. One morning I found him there and he got up and said with a smile "sleeped right there" spoken with a slight Boston accent and pointing at the floor.

Emerson is so full of smiles, oh, he is cute. And I have no bias at all. He is rolling over now and sleeping well. He spend most of his time watching his siblings play (and fight) it keeps him entertained. We are going to start him on solids in a week or two, I'll keep you posted.

David is working from home alot which is great, but when he was away for our anniversary (he came home in the evening and we had a nice dinner) the thing that was memorable enough for him to post was his conversation with a ticket agent. It's true love.

All in all things are good. We spend alot of time outside, or at the town pool, wearing them out in hopes of a solid night's sleep. We have big dreams around here......
