So this past weekend my parents were here for a visit. It was really great to be able to see them. I always knew i would miss them, but everytime they visit and then leave i am reminded of how much i really do miss them. Anyway, while they were here Richard William started kind of crawling. He actually crawled a few times, but he must not have it down to perfection, that or he just really likes the army crawl. He also pulled himself up, he was sitting in a laundry basket, and pulled himself forward to the side of the basket and then pulled himself right up onto his feet. It is crazy to think of how much he has grown. Two of my mom's cousins have just had new babies and they seem so small, it's crazy to think that he used to be that small only a few months ago. He also got to spend a day at the pool with my mom, he didn't get to do a full swim lesson, but they had fun. It was actually pretty funny how little emotion he had about it. He wasn't excited, but he wasn't upset by it. he was just kind of serious about it. anyway he is a funny kid. he has started babbling more, and he likes to blow spit bubbles. he likes hard boiled eggs, and has started feeding himself cheerios. he is getting pretty good at it.
Rich is still working at the fitness equipment place, his manager is quitting, so we are hoping that since they plan to hire a female manager that he will have more hours since he will be the only guy working there. It's a boring job, but it is a job.
I have just been doing the same old stuff, today i actually trimmed a bush back, i felt productive. Now i just have to finish trimming a few branches and clean up all of my mess. We are also dogsitting for my mom's cousin, Marlow and Macy are both labs, Marlow is a 10 mo old puppy who is full of energy and Macy is 7 and very calm and gentle, but always wanting attention. It hasn't really been all that different with them around, you just have to be careful that Marlow doesn't wrap your feet up in his chain. We only have them for a few more days and then they will be going home.
Well that is pretty much all, so until next time, Have a happy day!!
