I've been lazy in the blog department.

Jacob turned 11.  E-LEV-EN!  He loves to talk about when he was a baby and hear stories from us.  It was a fun b'day.  I'll blog about it later.

Caleb loves art class.  Right now they're doing a knitting/weaving project and he is on pins and needles to go to art every week.  He LOVES this project.  So much so that the art teacher and her assistant have nicknamed him the "weaving machine".  Cute, huh?!

On Jacob's b'day I was out running errands listening to one of my favorite radio stations – it's a local County one that you can only hear in our immediate area (KLAK).  **Something you may not know about me – I call into radio stations often when there is a contest – when I was in middle school I called in and won a piece of the Berlin Wall.  My parents never took me to pick it up…true story!**  They were giving away "Glee" CD's because the premiere was this week.  I watched the show a couple of times when it first started and LOVED the music so much – I think a lot of people do.  But the content turned vulgar for me so I gave it up.  But I still download some of the music sometimes.  Anyway – you had to identify this 3-second clip of a song.  I called in – got through the first time – and heard the dj's voice on the other end! And I got a little "shout out" on the radio.  What was the song?  "Physical" by Olivia Newton John.  I could identify that song with a 1-second clip!  In 1985 we drove to Colorado to see my grandparents and listened to that tape over and over again – all singing to ONJ.  My mom got her first speeding ticket during that trip – perhaps ONJ was a little too loud!

Samuel and I went to storytime at the library yesterday and are headed to a farm with a playgroup today.  I love these preschool years.

Remember when we were concerned about Samuel "finding his voice" – well…he found it.  And it's loud. 🙂 And we love to hear him talk.  He continues speech therapy twice a week, but he is meeting all his goals.

That's all I can think of for now – and the house is starting to wake up.
