Internet, glorious internet!

I am so pleased that we have internet again! I have been putting up pictures on the website since noon. It's great to have our phone and email back again. Hopefully we won't be so out of touch now.

So...what's new...we are still fighting off a few bugs here and there. I found a large cockroach hiding on the computer desk this morning, but it managed to escape while I was trying to kill it...and now I don't know where it is (so my chair is as far away as possible while I type this, and I'm not shuffling any more papers!)

Kids are doing well. Rebecca rolled over again today. I put her on her back, and she can roll over on her tummy but can't get her arm out from under her. Then she rolled back over onto her back because she doesn't like having that arm stuck under her. When I do place her on her tummy, she wiggles around so much she can get right off the blanket. She can also do that while on her back. She arches her back, lifts her bum up and uses her feet to push herself around. And of course, she continues to smile and just be generally cute.

Jesse...he is learning so much these days. He uses words often, and even knows what they mean. For a while he would just repeat whatever we said, but now he actually uses words to talk. It's pretty cool. He finds the microwave popcorn in the pantry and will bring it to me and say "puh-corn". Sometimes when he drops something he will say, "oh man!" He will point at the cup of pens and say, "color." He will take a drink of milk from the fridge and exclaim, "cold!" with his eyebrows raised. He knows Rebecca's name and calls her "Becca". I think he has even said, "Becca, quiet" before, just like he would tell Tim (the Coghlin's dog) to be quiet in Calgary. And of course he knows the words, "blankie, soother and Tigger" as they are all part of his nap/nightime routine. I can't believe it's almost his birthday again, and that he will be two! That's crazy!!

Enjoy the new pictures and videos on the dropshots site. Hopefully there will be a steadier stream of them now that we are back home and have our internet back.
