Gosh, Jennie and i are the worst lately. Luckily when we do write a post for you…it’s so amazingly intelligent and entertaining that they fill you up with enough glee to hold you over between the lengthy waiting times.
I’ve just felt so…busy. We have soooo much going on in our life right now. Silas’ therapy is booming and we just keep having to add more. He’s still happy though and enjoying every moment of it.
Plus my husband and I seem to be getting a lot more social with friends these days. Actually having real couple friends who like…wanna hang out. Odd.
Life life life.
Silas is just…exploding. It’s like he’s been in an egg this whole time. Little cracks have been appearing in the egg and light shines out. More and more and more appear and get bigger and wider and longer and more light is shining out. I guess he’s…bursting out of his shell…so to speak.
Two days in a row he did something to made someone sad, stopped to think about it and then corrected himself. He’s feeling empathy. His sentences are getting longer, more expressive and more complex.
Ikey is staying the same stinker he’s always been. Unfortunately staying a bit too much. He’s almost 3 and we still dunno what he’s saying when he talks. When it is clear…it’s great language. He just talks like there’s marbles in his mouth. In a way it’s nice because he still seems like a baby 
Cleo…well…she’s still fitting in just fine. She’s taken up permanent residence on our couch and finds the need to be near me at most points of her day. there’s many moments where I’m peeing and I have Silas, Ikey AND the dog in there with me. No peace for me I suppose. Right now she’s curled up behind me on the couch. Happy to be touching her mommy. I’ve never had a dog who adored me so much. She’s so lovely. Our home feels so complete now that she’s in it….even though her hair is, well, everywhere.
Life is….stable…enough…
So there’s your update…I even did it on a day that i wasn’t supposed to blog. That’s love
Your love, and blogs are much appreciated. Wish my folks and Val’s could have enjoyed the benefits of this modern electronic communication like we are doing. Looking back, I frequently regret that your Mom and brothers did not get to know their grandparents better because of our many years in California.
Having “real couple” friends is not odd as I’m sure you know. Our church at the time had a very active, and large, young married couples organization (Baby Boomers Years). We still cherish memories of those time and maintain contact with several to this day. Does your church have the same?
