575, 576, 577, ...

Reason Number 575 I miss James being here: having to reconfigure the computer router
576: a riding lawnmower is harder than it looks
577: I just miss him.

C was so sweet the last couple mornings- he woke up and said "I love you Mommy & I love Daddy. and God loves me." We did Skype video chat today. The boys loved seeing James on the whole laptop screen. T waved lots & lots. K said "Daddy looks like blocks."

We haven't been eating much meat lately- mostly because it's easier not to cook meat. We had butternut squash soup Sunday, lentils & rice Monday, baked potatoes for dinner Tuesday. Last night, I made a big pot of black beans for black beans & rice Wed night, southwest salad for lunch today, & southwestern egg rolls tonight. My little carnivores are good little veggie eaters now!

This morning, we went to K's speech therapy and then Toddler Playtime at the rec center. The boys got enough playing to tire them out so we all napped this afternoon. Yesterday we took a friend to the park with us & this afternoon one went to one of K's last soccer practices for the season. K heard someone talk about next week's CiCi's pizza party & still happily ate his dinner- which wasn't pizza! Boys are definitely meant to play hard; then they eat and sleep much better. (I didn't even have any boys come to our bed last night!)
Thank God for more answered prayers: Ty is in Walter Reed and improving- he's been awake some and is trying to breathe on his own. Anna sounds good and is very thankful for all the prayers. Virginia is in Japan and will bring the kids back to the states next week.
