Why?

A few days ago, Orry became Mr Why. Everything is "Why?" And we are on our toes to come up with reasons for evrthing. 'Evrthing' is how little who'shernamecurlylocks says it, so that's how we cool family members say it as well.

Isaac has started signing more and communicating newer ideas in his 17 month old way. He really likes books and will always show up at your feet with a book in both hands. He's only so-so in getting read to; as long as the page turns and visual content match his short attention span, he's fine with it. He still likes animals a lot.

Lurking under the oversized torsos of her sisters-in-law, Bonnie is entering her last trimester. She is holding up pretty well functioning in half of a house being remodeled. I had been meaning to mention that Waldorf salads with their fruit make for a tasty and healthy dinner diet. It's a little pricey for fresh berries this time of year, but when you're not buying so much meat, it's all good. Tonight, though, we had fish in buttery bread crumbs with baked sweet potatoes and salad. Lemon wedges crank up the tastebuds' experience a notch.

I am finishing up a couple handyman jobs. we are also working more for the tree service that hires Trent and/or I occasionally, and these days about three days a week. Progress on our priority projects is slow. Rain slows our foundation work at the add-on. Busyness slows our remodeling at the house where we live. Thanks for all things good, the bills are getting paid, and we're all mostly healthy and happy.
