What We've Been Up To

For lack of a more creative idea, here's some general updates:

Luke:

• Perfecting his ever-expanding repertoire of animal nosies (did you know zebras make a high-pitched keening noise? Neither did we.)
• Still refusing to get his haircut.
• Challenging me daily by refusing to use the potty, but continually taking off his diaper as well . . . ugh!

Ethan:

• Continues with the tape projects, adding other elements like plastic straws, curl ribbon, paper cups, shoe boxes, junk mail, you-name-it.
  
• Gets frustrated when his "vision" for a project doesn't exactly pan out, like the "chocolate milk factory" he wanted me to build yesterday
• Starts swim lessons on the 23rd!

Audra:

• On the lookout for new bedding. After nearly eight years of our solid cream matelasse I'm ready for some color!
• Cards, cards & more cards! I was asked to head-up a portion of the service project for our Stake's Women's Conference last weekend. My job was to design a card to accompany 550 white receiving blankets that will go to neo-natal units at local hospitals, and then prepare the materials for assembly at the conference. It was a quite a learning experience for me in handling a project of this scope. Thanks to a small army of volunteers everything went smoothly and they turned out beautiful. Here's some pictures of the women at work.

Will:

• Continues playing on a city league softball team and a pick-up volleyball team.
• Bought some new running shoes and is training for the mini-Triathlon sponsored by our Stake on the 4th of July. There is a family category, so I've been roped into doing the swimming portion, and he'll do the running & biking. This could be really fun, or just a really good reminder of how out of shape we've become!
