Isn't it amazing how far technology has taken us. It worked! Wow, I can't believe it.
So, I know it has been a while since I've posted any updates, but just so you know, it doesn't mean my life has come to an utter, boring, stand-still. On the contrary, it seems as if life has picked up full speed, and I'm not sure what to do with all of it.
The weather is finally mellowing into that springtime that makes Texas worth the heat of summer. All of the leaves are stretching and yawning as tree limbs shake themselves awake. Birds are beginning to chirp. Bugs are beginning to crawl, and we are in that lull between grackle seasons. The days are warm and balmy. The nights are cool enough for a sweater and sometimes a jacket. I'm looking forward to three lovely, long, luscious months of perfect walking weather.
I can tell that Reagan is use to the unusually cold weather we've had because today, I insisted that she go outside to play. She took one look at clouds scudding across the sky and said, "No, thank you, Mommy. It is cold outside." I had to pick her up and take her into the sunshine. She was crying the whole time until the sunbeams hit her. Then she blinked. She stared at me in wonder and then said, "Why Mommy, it's quite warm out." And yes, she actually said those exact words because her favorite cartoon is a British cartoon called Kipper, and she has adopted British euphemisms and accent. Unfortunately, Texan is not that far removed from British, so we're also beginning to hear a lot of "yall, thayer and heylp."
Georgianna thinks she can talk. She says things like, "ma-ma, i du wan da puh-puh-buh-buh." Which in English is translated, "Mommy, I want some peanut butter."
Kate is getting so tall. I bought extra long 5x pants for the school year in September. She now wears 6x. I'm trying to stretch the size five for as long as possible, but I don't think we will make it to the end of the school year. I've had to buy 2 new sets of shoes since September since she rocketed past 12 and 12 1/2 and 13. She looks like one of those big girls that I use to have to protect my babies from whenever I went to a play place. On the plus side, she's tall enough to go on every ride in Disneyland except for one.
We took the girls on a picnic last weekend. I found this amazing drive-thru Italian restaurant, so we swung by after work and picked up some pasta and salad and pizza and took the girls to the park. We had scooters and bouncy balls in the back of the car and they zoomed around the perimeter with Georgie in tow. Then they threw balls and Georgie giggled and laughed and ran around trying to catch them. She kept kicking the balls with her legs as she ran to pick them up, and she would squeal in delight that they had somehow managed to get away from her.
Kate is going on a field trip to Houston on Tuesday, and I can't go with her because I work. I can't go with her because Tanner is in school all day, and I don't think I could manage Georgie and Reagan on a two hour trip, a four hour museum tour and then a tour drive back home. So, please pray that they have a safe trip and a great time.
