Labor Day Plus One

There are many wonderful things going on with Lucy and Sophie but I’m having difficulty finding time and/or inspiration to blog.

Both Penny and I are keeping busy helping out and Penny’s doing some cooking.

Lucy continues to be an “easy” baby for K&T, which is good. Lucy and Sophie went to the doctor’s today for checkups. Both girls are healthy and doing well.

C&C dropped in yesterday and had Labor Day Dinner with us. Tim cooked pulled pork and it was outstanding. Sophie enjoyed all the attention.

Sophie appears to have adjusted to a new baby in the house. She is in the midst of the terrible-twos and is also gaining in her verbal abilities quite rapidly. She is both strong willed and delicate at the same time. She can go from happy and cooperative to screaming, crying and resisting in the blink of an eye. I’m glad K&T have the patience and maturity to handle her. I can see flashes of what the older Sophie will be like and it is good. K&T are doing a good job with her.

I used to like the way Sophie said the word “purple” but now my favorite word is “cantaloupe” followed closely by “yellow” (which comes out as lellow).

We put the new furniture into the kid’s room on Sunday. Now, except for the gliding rocker, I made all the furniture in that room. I’ll have to take some pictures of the cubby holder and sling bookshelf in use.

Sophie’s waking from her nap—time for me to go.
