What have we been up to?

Last week it finally started to dry out a little after a solid week of rain the week before.  We had some pretty intense weather with Tornado Watches. It always makes for an exciting evening.  We have been outside all of the time loving the nice weather now that it is drying out.

Sarah enjoyed her first week of freedom and rediscovered Mario Kart Wii.  She also seems to be getting along pretty good with one arm.  She went for a run with her dad and didn't even mind having to lug around that big cast.  She is such a good kid.  I love having her home for the summer.

Alex has been loving having Sarah around to build forts in the back yard and play with. He loves LEGO's and build some pretty neat castles, cars, and princesses.  He wrote his name all by himself this week.  We were pretty surprised.  He asks me every morning is today is his birthday....he can't wait for his first friend party on Wednesday.

Lily is getting into everything.  Nothing is sacred in this house.  She loves to pull the books off everyones shelves in their rooms including Mom's and Dad's.  If she is ever quiet we know where to look.  Right now she is the destroyer. She also is fearless, this past week we went to the park and we watched her climb up to the top of the playground and slide down head first on the Spiral Slide.  When we go outside she always runs right to the big kid swings and starts doing some crazy tricks.  We have to watch her because she has no clue that she can get hurt.  She wants nothing to do with the baby swing. 

Dave has been working hard at work he has a design review this week so he had lots of things he needed to get ready.  He also has been enjoying watching Spain, Germany, and USA play in the world cup and playing with the kids. He ordered a Germany flag for me and a Spain flag for himself and he likes putting them up when our teams are playing. 

I went this past Saturday and worked on a Habitat For Humanity Women's Build day.  It was so much fun.  It was cool to think I was contributed to someones home.  I have been trying to help my soggy garden dry out.  I think the tomatoes are gone.  Everything else is doing wonderful.

That's it for us.  Hope you all had a lovely week and a nice Father Day.
