Ahhh!!

We are having a crazy day!

Landis and I woke up this morning and played for a little while. Lawrence came home for lunch, we ate, and he headed back to work. I headed into the kitchen to wash some dishes, leaving Landis in the living room, playing with his toys. After a minute, I heard a banging sound and realized that I could no longer see Landis, so I left the kitchen to look for him. Turns out I had forgotten to close the bathroom door and he was in the bathroom, throwing things into the toilet, which he does every chance he gets. (Fortunately, he's only gotten two chances so far.) I fished the plunger and toilet scrubber brush and case out of the toilet and rinsed them off in the shower, then grabbed Landis and tossed him in and got him soaped up and cleaned. Once he'd been scrubbed, I wrapped him up in a towel, grabbed a diaper and put him on the our bed to change him. Of course, as soon as I moved the towel to put his diaper on, he started peeing all over the sheets. All of this fun took place before 1 pm. It's going to be a loooooooooong day.

He's down for his nap, so I had better go take care of the messes!

The boys!

Here is a picture of Aaron Scott and Landis from a few months ago. Newer pictures are coming soon. =)

Update

We have been busy recently! We celebrated Aaron Scott's 7th birthday with a trip to Adventure Island, a water park, last weekend. He had a great time on the rides and in the wave pool. We made several friends - Aaron is a wonderfully friendly boy! Landis enjoyed playing in the shallow kids area, and Lawrence and I switched charges every hour or two and had a lots of fun with both boys.

Aaron Scott starts 2nd grade tomorrow. Hopefully it will be another great school year for him!

Landis is 9 months old and continues to grow and learn. He is cruising the furniture, standing unassisted and taking 1 or 2 steps on occasion. It won't be long until he is running around the house! His favorite thing recently is to be chased. He does his sprint crawl across the living room floor, hoping to entice one of us to chase him. We crawl after him and kiss him when we catch him, and he laughs and laughs. He is such a delight!

Lawrence is still working at Avidyne, and enjoying it for the most part. He has great coworkers and is always learning something new.

We are house hunting, and hope to find the perfect home soon! There is a lot on the market right now and we're having a great time looking, but we're increasingly eager to find "the one. I'm excited about gardening, and Lawrence can't wait to have space to work on our boat. We just bought a Catalina 22 that needs some work. It will be perfect for day trips or overnights with the boys.

I'm going to try to remember to update the blog periodically, so remind me if it's been a while!
