1. These are Seth’s rainbow shorts.
Anyone who has had the privilege to associate with Seth this summer knows all about them. They are his favorite and we have an agreement that he can wear them every other day. If they are not washed on HIS day, then he has been known to climb on the washer and start throwing soap in randomly and then begging people to help him start it. Annoying, yes, but nothing is cuter than when Seth bursts into a room, proclaiming, joyfully: “WAINBOW SHOATS!!!”
2. Faith has now pulled herself to stand.
But refuses to hold a bottle, or cup, or anything resembling a container of liquid. She’s smart, that one.
3. Jane asks us every time we leave the house or van, multiple times: “Did you lock the van? Did you shut the garage?” She’s is all of a sudden totally afraid of robbers. (We think she was reminded of the car-theft incident, somehow). It’s a little bit cute, but also has thrown a wrench in our newfound in-house babysitter freedom, as Emma does not make her feel as safe as we adults do.
(Officer Jane wants the robbers to just STOP.)
4. Gabe broke his toe. That’s the third broken bone for my almost 9 year old. It hurts him too much to clear the table, but he’s just fine operating in the Neighborhood kickball game, as long as he’s the pitcher.
5. Emma has graduated from pre-braces to retainer. We have 4 more years before we have to do the rest of them. This is the main reason we can’t move: the orthodontist offers discounts based on his previous services.
6. Ryan is interviewing for the only job in Spokane, as we speak. Wish us luck.
