Look at this! I’m posting again! And I even have
pictures for you to see! They’re nothing special, just us hanging
around this past weekend, but at least you get your dose of cuteness to
hold you over for a while.
What’s new…
Lindsay likes
broccoli. We told her they were little broccoli trees, and she
thinks that’s pretty neat that she’s eating little trees.
;) Hey, whatever works, right?
Lindsay, normally a very
good sleeper, has begun to fight going to bed. Once she’s asleep,
she’s fine, but just the past week or so, she starts crying when we
leave her room. We get through the whole bedtime ritual just
fine, she seems happy, we finish her book and kiss her goodnight, and
then the crying begins. It only lasts for a minute, maybe two
tops, but it’s still just such a pain that she’s going to bed crying
instead of happy, like she used to, ya know?
Emery is
smiling, we think. But only at Barney and Lindsay. :(
I spend all day, slaving away, feeding and changing him, and he won’t
even crack a smile for me. But Barney walks into the room and
says hello to him and he grins like a cheshire cat! Grrrrrr.
Hmmm, what else…
We’ve
just been busy busy here with the normal chaos. We’ve gone to the
mall a lot lately because they have a big, free, indoor play area that
Lindsay LOVES and asks to go to all the time. That will come in
really handy during the nasty winter months, I’m sure. The
weather has turned a little here, so no more beach or park pictures for
a while. :( But I’ll try to remember to take the camera
with me when we go to indoor play places too.
We went to a
festival of family farms this weekend, which was kind of fun, but
Barney and I realized half way through, that it will be much more fun
in about two years. The kids just weren’t quite ready for
it. Lindsay liked looking at all of the animals and everything,
but wasn’t confident enough to touch them. Her favorite part of
the whole festival was the free cookie! 
We also went out
to the horse barn I used to work at last weekend, and let Lindsay see
the horses. Once again, not quite ready. Her favorite part
of that trip was splashing in the "muddles". She seems to have
combined mud and puddles into a new word. I ask her if she wants
to put her boots on and splash in the mud puddles and she squeals,
"splash in muddles please!" Too funny.
I’ll try to get on
and do some more updates later in the week, but I hear Emery crying
downstairs, so I better go tend to him again. Will it never
end? Upstairs… downstairs… upstairs… downstairs…
