I feel like I've been absent for a while, though in reality it's only been ten days since I blogged last. I've started a few posts, but was repeatedly interrupted. (Of course, that's good and right: http://pinterest.com/pin/75464553/.) Here's what's been going on around here:
--As evidenced by the above link, I joined Pinterest. I haven't gotten into it fully yet, not having had the time or inclination to spend great amounts of time poking around other people's boards. I'm looking forward to browsing for decorating ideas, though, since . . .
--We got a new-to-us couch that required rearranging the living room furniture, and now my one big dark blue wall -- which formally housed the giant wood entertainment center -- is bare from the couch up. I don't want to just hang a few pictures up; I want to do something really cool. But I have no idea what. Suggestions?
--Levi got a new toy, courtesy of my aunt. She worked for a church day care for a loooooong time, and has stores and stores of stuff just waiting to make its way into my house. I don't need or want more things to keep track of, and this in particular was an unnecessary item since I already made my own alphabet rug, but Levi (not surprisingly) loves it:
--Isaac spent a week in Florida at the Reformed Youth Ministries conference with the high school youth group. His mom went along as a chaperone and my mom had a conference of her own happening, so I was flying solo with the littles for a full seven days. Mostly we just hung around at home, keeping life easy, but towards the end of the week when it was getting old, a few women from church rallied around to provide entertainment and meals. It's times like these when I'm so, so grateful to be a part of the body of Christ!
--Owen is increasingly mobile and has started to climb. He's reaching these physical milestones (standing in the crib, army-crawling, etc.) a good 2-3 months earlier than Levi did, and even though he's technically in a normal development range, it feels wild to me!
--Levi turns two on Saturday. I have lots of theories about adding structure in a variety of ways to Levi's day in the next month or two. Stay tuned!

(All of the pieces pop out, and he spends a lot of time matching up the letters and numbers with his other rug. There are little pieces that fill up the holes in the 6, 8, 9, B, P, etc., but I saw CHOKING HAZARD and removed them immediately.)
