Has it really been a week since I wrote? I can't believe that it's been that long...I guess that's what happens when you have 2 websites and a Facebook account to keep updated, plus 2 kids to take care of.

Anyway, what's new...last week Jesse, Rebecca and I went over to visit Donna and Tyler. Tyler is 18 months old, and Jesse and him have a blast playing together. There is a video on our dropshots site of them playing. Rebecca's really moving around. Not crawling, but she rolls and pushes herself all over the place. If she sees a toy she wants that is out of her reach, she will keep moving until she can reach it. And she sure adores her older brother. She loves watching him play, and gives him a huge grin when he comes over and talks to her. Jesse is getting a lot better with her too. He likes to give her a soother (whether she wants it or not), and he will bring her toys too. Sometimes he will let her play with them, other times he just gives it to her and then takes it back. But he rarely hits her anymore. Most of the pain he inflicts on her is a result of a temper tantrum on his part. And most times she doesn't even cry anymore, even when we think, "that must have hurt!"

The weather is still nice and warm, although it is getting dark earlier. We like to go to the park in the evenings. Last night was beautiful. We went to Sonic and had ice cream while Jesse played in the playground. I was in shorts and a tank top, and thought about how wonderful it felt to be standing there in October, with the sun down, and not one bit cold.

But speaking of cold...three of us have a cold right now. Jesse, Rebecca and I are all sick. I'm not exactly sure how Mike isn't sick as well, but I hope he manages to stay that way! We all have a cough, stuffy/runny nose, and both kids have run a temperature at some point. Plus I think Jesse is still cutting those last two teeth. Rebecca seems to be suffering the worse. At least Jesse and I can move around and our nasal passages drain pretty well, but poor Rebecca can't sit up on her own and seems to get really stuffy. Saturday night she barely slept at all...well she tossed and turned and slept very fitfully while I didn't sleep at all! I just feel so bad for little babies when they get sick. It's hard for them to eat, sleep...the only time she seemed to breathe okay was when I was holding her upright. Anyway, I think we are all on the mend now, though still a ways away from being healthy.

We have our tickets booked for our trip to Canada later this month (for Mike's granny's funeral). I am really looking forward to seeing a bunch of the family on Mike's moms side. It will also be nice to get some crisp autumn air, and then come back down to our warmer weather. I've been trying to sort through Rebecca's clothes and find some warmer ones for her to wear. It seems most of her clothes are summerish. But, we will make do.

So that's about it I guess. I am in the middle of doing laundry, and I should really get as much done as possible while both kids are asleep.
