Hot days here in Seattle, and what a better reason to show off our undies, either with body glitter or without. We attended Lux's end of year school recital, check out the snap of the whole class, does anyone look enthusiastic or at all focused? Thank the lord it was three quick songs, nothing worse than having kids do anything more than that. On another note, Huxley is beginning to make more eye contact, we were wondering when that would happen. We don't get alot of smiles but the ones that we get are special for sure. Lux just told me today that having "brothers" is better than having a sister. She is hitting her stride with her bro and enjoying him more and more each day.
I took out his room his first lot of clothes grown out of (including Lux's pink sleepers), sort of broke my heart, somethings he never did even wear. I'm pretty picky about boy clothes, most are pretty terrible, either safari looking gay-crap or sporty themes, with july 4th kinda barfed all over them. Both kids are sleeping, I should take a nap, but I can never sleep when home in the house alone with them, too nervous or something. And he's doing good in the night, only up to eat once but still stirs at around 1 am, although I don't get up and let him put himself back to sleep. I keep waiting for him to make it to 6 am, he has done 5 am once but mostly up around 4 and then again at 7:30 or 8. We are putting our application into Sand Point Country Club this week, I've been scrambling to put it all togther, letters of recommendation etc. We're merely joining now to get on the list to join the swim/tennis portion. For now we can enjoy a few perks, the fitness center (sort of like one at a hotel but a bit larger), tennis flight (I think I will join later in the summer and take some lessons), dining, swim lessons (if not all full) and thats about it. It will be about a 2 year wait to be able to have access to the pool. We're joining now so that as the kids get older we have the pool to enjoy all summer and the social aspect as most of the families from Lux's school are members and we (and of course her) have made a connection with them. We (Geoff and I, and babe) toured the facility the other day, its a beautiful golf course with spectacular views of the lake and had visions of many happy summer days and nights spent there and the kids enjoying going alone as teenagers with their friends. I think of my summers at Kinnaird pool (sp), biking down and then to the DQ, although this isn't quite like that, will be a place I'm sure the kids will have memories of.

The crunchy club. A nice idea for a growing family. You will be glad that you made the investment.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely day here. Dad cut down some trees and I washed the outside of the cabcab. Tomorrow I will vacuum the lake. Went off to F and P for dinner..a recipe out of the new Whitewater cookbook. Tomorrow we will go to the pub for dinner and a chance to see the final hockey game.
Can hardly wait to see the kids. Huxley will be like Martin maybe. Quiet and somewhat amused by the swirl of activity from the sibling. The second child always has the added feature of having someone who has preceded them. Someone who ventures out first and pulls them along. And then there is the third child.
Will stay with Rhys on Saturday night and then drive home on Sunday.
