July 2008

The days go by so quickly. It is almost the middle of July and I haven't accomplished very much. Oh, wait! Kalub was baptized, we celebrated the 4th of July with friends and family, we will be on our way to Minnesota on Saturday to celebrate the upcoming birth of my nephew, Nathan, and his wife, Alyssa's first child. All of these activities are more important than other stuff.

The rain and flooding has stopped and it is typical Iowa weather--hot and humid. I like to just stay inside during this time of the summer. I have completed a couple of knitting projects--socks of course and a gift for the baby shower this week-end.

I have been able to spend lots of time with Charlie and Kalub. They are both growing up so quickly. Kalub has new teeth--he cut 4 at once on top. He has almost taken his first step--he is so close. He will be 11 months old this Friday. Charlie continues to amaze me with how quickly he is learning. Although he is not yet 2 years old, he can identify most letters of the alphabet (out of order) and say the sound they make. He loves playing with the Matchbox cars his great uncle Tim brings him and his favorite place to be is anywhere outside.
