An issue was brought to my attention that I already knew about.  There were a couple of albums in the gallery that did not have pictures in them.  Here’s the deal.  My puter wasn’t allowing me to upload pictures.  And when I say it was my puter I mean it was my puter and not user error.  After Damion deleted my IE cookies (anybody for a Cookie Monster “Delete Cookies!!” flair here?) all seems to be working again.  And the problem was with an update that my computer just does without me telling it to do it!

Damion is slowly healing.  He is working at getting his bicycle ready so he can ride it to work again.  He is also working on several projects around the house, with Anna’s assistance and approval of course.

I am trying to get my scrapbook stuff organized for a weekend of working at catching up.  I’m having to start at the kids’ birthday party and work my way forward.  Gosh we are busy people when you try to scrapbook the highlights.

Anna is testing her boundaries and talking in fuller sentences.  Some of her favorites phrases are “one more thing”, “Jackie buddy” (FYI she is the only person who gets to call Jack Jackie”, “wait guys”.  After the last rain store she was all excited because she thought I stopped the rain.  I told her I didn’t.  Then she got excited because that meant Damion stopped the rain.  Damion told her he did not stop the rain but that God did.  So now she thinks that she stopped the rain and “Gog” helped.  While a bit flawed it’s a good start, right?

Jack is starting to realize that he has the ability to grab Anna’s hair or shirt and get a reaction from her.  He is attempting to grab her shirt more and move her out of the way.  He is working on his verbal skills.  The words he utters the most seem to be “thank you”, “uh oh”, and “door”.  The phrases he recognizes the quickest involve leaving the house.  “Jack, let’s go bye bye” translates into drop everything and run to garage door.  “Jack, wanna play outside” translates into drop everything and run to open the patio door.

Ah, the patio door, which we are looking at replacing.  Why?  Well, Anna & Jack can now both open it themselves.  So if you visit and you can’t find them in the house they are likely left the house and are in the backyard blowing bubbles and playing on their new playset.  Yup we finally got them a new playset.  

We took delivery of the playset pieces Mother’s Day weekend and the kids were playing on it a week later.  Not too bad I think considering most of that time period we were under thunderstorm warnings/watches, tornado warnings/watches and flood warnings/watches.  One of Damion’s co-workers came on night to help get it started and a couple hours later there was a deckles tower.  Last Saturday Damion and I worked on it for almost 2.5 hours while the kids slept.  We started around 1 pm and by 6:30 pm we had a completed play set.

Pictures?  Oh we got bunches of them.  A couple of albums to end Aprils and some to start May.
