Maybe I should start posting to this blog again

I experience many days I'd love to communicate (actually record) the memories of the kids as they grow up so fast. I just stumbled across a way that is easier to post via email than having to use the blogging software. My blackberry makes this very possible without needing to sit in front of a computer with internet connectivity.

 

The kids turned two years of age Sept 7.  I took off that morning to put their big toys together they did not receive at their early birthday party.  They had to go to school that Wednesday morning. It also turned out to be the hottest day we had in the greater  OKC metro in over a month and of course, the weather cooled the very next day. Fall practically arrived in OKC in August. It was a cold one Labor Day at the lake.  I managed to assemble the new Little Tikes outdoor house and their climbing platform with slide in 2 hurried hours around business phone calls and emails.  Blackberry's make the digital world convenient and make it harder to separate from the business. Always cons to pros in life. The house is a big hit. I still need to finish putting in the 3 inch screws. The roof fell off as I dragged it from the garage to outside! I have some great pics of that early afternoon. Bryson has obviously observed enough people fueling their vehicles to immediately figure out what to do with the gas pump hose connected to their house (which has four facades - store, gas station, school and soccer & basketball). He quickly took the Lil Tikes car his cousins got him and stuck the nozzle right in the car's tank inlet!!! I've got that on video. I hate observing these things with one eye closed on the other eye squinting into the lens/viewfinder so I need to watch the video.  I also managed to sing happy birthday to the kids when they woke up that morning because somehow that tradition was left out at their birthday party. 

 

Since the birthday Bryson and Addison are crawling in and out of the tub. One night bryson climbed in with his clothes on while the water was running. Their choice of food is getting broader after initially teasing us by eating anything and everything and then to eating only fruit practically.  Of course chips and french fries would never be rejected. They are really understanding what we say for routine statements, questions and needs. They might be at 10-20 words apiece.  Touchdown, ballball (baseball) and football are three of those words. We didn't practice homerun enough this summer.  Choo choo, ju ju (juice), pi (Addison-pillow), shoes, bye bye, snack, water, boat and we can not forget 'smoke bomb'.  That was acquired July 4th weekend. No kidding.

 

Well we'll see how well I can keep the news flowing regarding A & B.  One of my blog resolutions was to keep it short and that is hard for me to do but if you see a quick update then realize a quick update is better than no update! Take care.
