What's going on with us

I've been missing from the blog lately, I know! I haven't felt inspired with anything smart to say. :) Here's what we've been up to... Went to another pool/water park last week (Nate was scared of a big bucket that tipped and created a huge waterfall every few minutes, but once he got used to that, he loved this new place). We also went to a TACA "Pump It Up" night last Wednesday; Jon was able to meet us after work and Nate loved it (it was at a warehouse filled with several huge bounce house/slide contraptions for the kids to climb and jump in). We've also had several playdates, including a fun one today at a park that was new to Nate. The kids have also loved the couple of times we've done a Trader Joes/Chik-fil-a day. Nate can have the fries at Chik-fil-a, so it's a special treat. On Saturday we drove up to Brea to see our friends Phil and Katrina's new house--it is beautiful!!! (Katrina was my college roommate.)



Nate's month of summer has been good and bad. It has been fun for him to get to have some fun-only weeks without commitments. However, I think it has also been a little disorienting to him; he enjoys and is comforted by routine, schedule. Now, with no real schedule of going to school every day, he asks me several times a day what we are doing tomorrow, what we are doing after nap time, etc. He is trying to organize things in his head, I think.

I'm 23 weeks pregnant now. The new development this week has been the baby's exercises at precisely 10:30 every night. He must think I'm a punching bag... He will kick really quickly 10 or more times in a row--too funny. At least it doesn't hurt.

Tomorrow I have an AWANA directors meeting, which means fall ministries are just around the corner... already!!!
