Can July be nearing its end? It's so hard to believe my HCE will be headed back to school in two weeks. That doesn't seem right. The fourth of July we did our usual watch the parade with the Graves, then off to their house for a barbecue, and then the fireworks. We watched them from a new place this year and it was amazing. The Graves and we have sworn ourselves to secrecy, fearing all of Manteca will want to join us if we even hint at our good fortune.
Elise turned 6 on the 5th. She enjoyed getting to see WALL-E (or however it's spelled.) That has become a tradition for us it seems these last couple of years. Daddy takes the birthday child out to a movie. Other family members are free to join in. Fortunately, there has always been a family-friendly movie out in theaters in May, July, and December since this tradition has evolved. I usually stay home with the restless toddler or in this case, restless toddler and nursing baby.
Kade has been counseling for summer school this year and I believe it's been a good experience so far. He didn't want to drive in to work everyday (summer school is at a junior high too far from the train station to walk,) so he's been taking his bike on the train then bicycling to work from the train station in Fremont. What a great work-out. I'm envious that he's getting in shape faster than I've been I able to. I'm the one who's had the baby:)
Joshua had his two-month check up on July 7th, and was up to 12 lbs. 13 oz. He's our little chunky monkey. Oh, and he's been consistently sleeping through the night for about a week now, so I AM A NEW WOMAN!
Thanks again, Jill, for such a fabulous way to communicate! And as some of you may know, after months of prodding from Haleigh that we "need our own web page," we've launched our own blog at kapandcompany.blogspot.com (haleigh's name for us.) Please visit us for more details of our California lives. Hopefully it will be longer-lived than the one blog posted on there.
Love you all!
