QUICK UPDATE

a quick update for all those who may live far from us... brendan is now officially walking. he still crawls around every once in a great while, but it's mostly all walk now. jordan, on the other hand, has no desire to walk anywhere. he is crawling all over, but buckles his legs when you stand him up to practice. his favorite thing to do this past week is crawl all over the four chair legs and bottoms under the table. right now, he is under his highchair finding an old spoon from this morning and some left over cheerios to snack on. and brendan is recently fascinated with birds. saying the word "bird" and trying to make the sound, seeing them at the bird feeder, hearing them singing outside. we also hear a lot of "what is that"? we can walk through target and get a continuous feed of "what is that"? it's pretty funny.

justin is having fun at summer recreation during the week. it's sponsored through the rec league and is held every day at his elementary school. i send him in the afternoons and he does crafts and plays games in the gym. they also go outside to play. he is also into the indiana jones lego video game and is playing that now as i sit here. lately, he has been very loving and cuddly. we were sitting here on the couch last night and he said:
justin: "mom, i love you so much i just don't know what to do."
mom: "how about you just love me forever and ever."
justin: "ok, i will."
mom: "even when you're like 16 years old?"
justin: "of course, mom. and you can pinch my biskies anytime you want."
gotta love a free pass to pinch the biskies anytime i want. :)

karl stays busy with his computers and video games, with a little bit of work thrown in for good measure. there is no hockey to watch right now, but he is up to date with the latest and greatest rumors and trades. if i'm not mistaken, free agency starts tomorrow, so i'm sure he'll be all in a twitter tonight and tomorrow when some big deals will probably get made.

i have been busy with pictures lately. lots of babies all of a sudden and pregnant mommies. also a few seniors and weddings. then i balance that with working three days per week at the office and taking care of this whole house of boys. i have it pretty easy i'd say.
