My number two boy turned two yesterday, which means a few things. The precise day is passed when he is the age Orry was when he was born, although in two weeks they'll celebrate being half, or twice, the other's age for a year. The other milestone is that from this day forward, for now, Isaac will have spent most of his life in the USA again. He has really started babbling less incoherently, and has been seen jumping, singing, praying, and playing games which satisfy and delight us.
Annie is also developing well. On Thursday we'll move to Houston, and she will cross her first state line.
The Theobalds are coming over later today, and we'll have some fun. And we can show off our "finished" home. No, it's not turnkey perfect. But it is ready to rent out for the next year, and we signed a lease (hooray!) so it'll do for now!
For inappropriate quote use, see here. We have a dentistry pamphlet to submit. Seriously, after all that school, you send out a mailing that includes so many unnecessary quotes?! Seriously?!

a near mid-May report, 2010
It is nice Tawna has been working on genealogy lately, but I've been missing her blog action.
I've been working moderately over the past month or so to learn Spanish.
These are times of change.
Every single person in my immediate family working outside the home has changed jobs in the past year or will change in the next few months. This pattern extends also to many outside my immediate family, of course. Bonnie's family, by the way, is a little more solidly employed, it turns out.
I got a book from the library set in Idaho, since it will have to do for not going to Idaho this summer, by the looks of things. A Country Called Home.
I am another half day older.
Bonnie got another cookie book. We are about to sample some lemon lime cookies that would make even the sourest of frowns turn upside down, I bet. And that's going by the smell, and a few licks of frosting and dough.
We saved another turtle today. They want to cross the road, but the road is wide and their pace is slow. Who knows, maybe it would have made it on its own. Bonnie doubts it. We brought the refugee to the Bluebonnet swamp area, and then we got some turtle books from the library.
We've been going through our books and belongings and making donation trips.

magic beanstalk
The magic beanstalk at our place is made of bamboo. It grows a few feet each day, or did at least, the last we could see of the top. Actually, there are a few stalks, racing to become poles to blog about. Giant bamboo. Admire it.
I am trying my darnedest to complete a list of items in time for us to move to Houston soon. We don't know how temporary or lasting this move will be.
