It's been raining for days off and on. Right now it's raining dogs and cats (as Sally would say). Cooler weather has hit and its been really windy. We've stayed inside more this week, lots of crafts, games, reading and TV. We have gone outside when the rain stops and when we dress for it, the wetness and wind don't seem to slow us down much. Sallys imagination keeps her occupied, or Ruby and I occupied when she gets tired of playing by herself. We have been playing with Brookie a lot and there is still play group so we see other people - hahaha. This is what Fall and Winter on the East coast feels like I suppose. It's comfy and warm inside with the wood stove going. We've done lots of baking - current favs are Raisin bread and ginger molasses cookies.
Sally continues to be a great student. We do school work in the mornings and she never complains and works hard at the workbooks or science experiments. Her reading is really coming along - she is reading simple sentences already which astounds me. She is also able to do simple addition and subtraction. It amazes me how fast she catches on. We celebrated her birthday - she is 5 already... not sure how that happened. We think she is really a wonderful little girl - but we would, because we are her parents. Hahahaha.
Ruby is still the loudest baby I know. She wakes us all in the morning with her random yelling and giggles. She is eating anything I give her like a little champ - she is always hungry. She is crawling fast now and is pulling herself up on furniture so she can stand and she is trying to figure out how to coordinate her legs so she can walk. Slow down baby!!! It feels like she is growing so quickly.
Justin has finally gotten the cars out of the bush and the dumpster left yesterday. Nothing is easy here, though. The dumpster guy got stuck on the lawn since it's been raining for days. J had to go and help them so that they could finally take away the garbage he's been digging out of the woods for weeks. One big job done. It's starting to really open up on our lot and we can start to envision our future home! There is still so much to do, but it's exciting to be making progress.
