L-O-V-E

Yes, that's right love is in the air. I feel it. The weather is finally starting to cool off in the evenings which means I will soon be able to snuggle with my wonderful husband! I also found out this week that my dear friend Doran asked his long-time girlfriend to marry him and now they are officially engaged. Yay! Congrats to both of them.

The lovely couple in the picture here are the Cardinals and today is their 2 year anniversary. Don't they look spiffy? I love this picture of them...it's from their wedding day. That's right, they're riding a bicycle built for two. The Freedles wish them a very happy anniversary and hope that they are out celebrating two great years of marriage.

This past week was picture week and since I did not have to rush off to work that morning I was able to spend some time on Kira's hair and make sure that both of the kids looked presentable. We should be getting their pictures back within the next few weeks. Both of the kids are excited about getting their report cards next week. Isn't that great? I love that they are both so smart and that they really love school.

Kash is finally starting to sleep for longer periods and has kind of fallen into a regular sleep schedule. He usually sleeps from about 10:00pm-3:00am and then wakes up again at around 5:30. It's been really awesome because I feel pretty refreshed after getting that much sleep each night! I really hope I didn't just jinx myself...

Firsts

Kash's umbilical cord finally fell out so we were able to give him a bath for the first time! He was hungry and didn't like it very much but he liked when I took the washcloth and ran water over his belly. He's been having some tummy aches in the evenings and it's been tough trying to get him to go to sleep. Lee actually drove around with him the other night to get him to go to sleep and he slept for 6 hours straight! He's growing so fast and I think that his appearance has changed quite a bit over the past two and a half weeks.

Kurgan is getting excited for his birthday that is coming up but he's a little bummed that he can't have friends over to spend the night like he did last year. I guess we will just have to think of something extra fun for him to do. Kira has been having a lot of fun observing me with Kash. I think she's still a bit apprehensive about hurting him but she's been a big help getting me things that I need.

I've needed extra help over the past couple of days because (without going into too many details) my incision is not healing 100% so I am trying to take it easy. One of my best friends came into town from California and her and her mother came over to see Kash and we all went out for lunch. It's always great to get out of the house and visit with friends!
