Just a picture

Just thought I would share this pic. It makes me smile!

Just a quick update on the fam

Just wanted to share a little time with the readers about the rest of the family. So much time is spent with Memphis that we tend to overlook ourselves sometime. The days string together, and the time disappears.

All of the kids are doing great! To start with the oldest, Rowan is doing wonderfully. She spends most of her day helping mom with Memphis, playing with friends, and playing computer. She plays on the computer mostly. Minecraft is her current addiction, but on the positive side, it is familiarizing her with computers. I have given the ultimatum to her that if she wants to spend a lot of time on the computer, she needs to starts learning how to work with it. She has developed a good understanding of some basic concepts, and I have started getting her into basic programming concepts. She is off to camp next week. I'm sure she is looking forward to that.

Braden has just been Braden. Playing all day, wanting to play all night. He spends most of his day helping mom, and playing with friends outside. He and Rowan spent six weeks of summer on our local swim team, which in those six weeks he has developed a confidence in the water. Something that we demand from our children. He has been good and growing like a weed!

Michelle has been super busy! With all the kids home during the summer, and with our nephew there too during the day, she has a hectic day. Fortunately they aren't all babies, so the big kids can help some too. The evening is her break, until its time to put little Memphis to bed, which he has grown so accustom to that he does not want daddy to do it. He loves to have me to sit in there with them, but it is Mommy's job to put him to bed. She always wanted a momma's boy, now shes got one.

I am busy with a new job. I just started working at Curse.com, as a junior system administrator. Great workplace and great people! Other than putting in my time at work, I do the same as the kids. Help with Memphis and the house, and play computer! Not much more that that.

Thanks for reading!

Doing so well!

Little Memphis is doing so well! He is almost two years old now, and is almost a normal little two year old guy. Running, playing, and spending most of the day in a glee filled little wonderland. He seems to be wanting to explore more, break the rules more. Everything a two year old should want!

Over the last few weeks, Memphis has begun saying little things here and there. He now says didi for daddy, hothot for hot, mama for mommy, and even a few others. The little guy still signs, and signs in accordance with some of the words he is saying. He can't say please, but he will sign please and say didi for "please, daddy". So many achievements for this little guy.

He is still the happiest little guy around, and loves his family. Braden of course is his favorite unless he is hurt. Then he goes for mommy. Just yesterday, Braden was dancing in the living room, and here comes Memphis. Stomping around right behind him!


Memphis' birthday is August nineteenth, and we are planning a party for him. Everyone is welcome that can make it. I will post more about this as I know, but the tentative date is August eighteenth.

Thanks for following little Memphis!
