sunday walk

no where to go sunday after church was just fine with me. i needed some down time. xander, however, was just about to go crazy at home...couldn't play baseball or basketball, couldn't ride his bike, couldn't run in the sprinkler like the kids down the street. the first of many "because it is sunday" talks. (i remember them mom & dad!)

so, we decided that a leisurely family walk was an acceptable activity to pass the time. cassidy loves xander and laughs at everything he does, including trying to put the back of her dress over her head as they were riding in the wagon down the street.

as for an update....
todd is still searching for a job. had a good interview last week, but now he is in the waiting phase.

xander is becoming a little bit sassy. we are working on it, but it makes for some funny reasoning from an almost 4 year old when he wants things his way. he loves "vacation days" when we have a day off of school. we try to do a park or swimming pool - and to him, that is a summer day.




cassidy has had the most changes this last week. while holding her upside down and tickling her just to hear her laugh, i found two eye teeth coming in and two molars. yikes, if she has been cranky now we know why. she is also moving up to a new classroom at school. the 1yr old room. it is a little early, but because of some of the changes that are happening around the school it is happening sooner than usual. so she now sleeps on a mat on the floor instead of in a crib, and her nap time has been pushed back an hour or so, to keep her on schedule with the "older" kids in the room. she is also sitting at a table in a chair and eating, instead of a high chair. poor thing can't even get up and walk out of the chair, she'd just have to slid her way to the floor. but she seems to be adjusting well and taking it all in stride.

as for me, i am working on getting myself ready for school to start in two weeks. i am ready for my regular schedule. no more jumping rooms and work times. no more wandering aimlessly around a classroom with no real responsibilities (other than the kids of course!) i am ready for my classroom. bring it on!

that is it i guess. cassidy's birthday is on friday. i can't believe that a year ago i was huge and waiting for little cassidy to show up. well she did, and we wouldn't have it any other way. she is a little firecracker and she fits right in! pictures to be posted after the ceremony of the cake!
