Getting Caught Up


Myrtle Beach

Well - I haven't been very good about regular updates lately, have I? It's been kind of busy around our house. I'm 3 weeks away from the marathon, so my mileage is around 45 miles/week. As you saw in the previous post, Megan started school -- and loves it. Jake is walking all over the place now and Darin's swamped with work.

I'll start from the beginning. We went on a family vacation the week before Labor Day to Myrtle Beach. We stayed in a great house on the beach with Jenny & Flip, Lisa, Will & kids, Jen, Rewdy & Sadie and Jean, Currin and kids. Jake was pretty much officially walking during that week (the photo is from the trip). Everyone had a great time swimming in the pool, going to the beach and riding amusement park rides. We ate like royalty, too.

Update on Megan's school -- after her first day, she talked about it for at least 2 days. She kept coming up with new little stories -- ie. she said "when we had story time, some kids were talking and I had to say shhh because I couldn't hear it." (She also does this to us when she can't hear the TV). She learned the song - Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes. She painted a picture and was so upset that she left it at school. Apparently it was a pink and blue duck. She loves school.

Jake is turning into a little boy. He's pretty funny to watch -- we were out in the front yard with some neighbors the other day and he just walked around and picked up sticks. He ran away from me when I said it was time to go inside. I guess he could tell I was coming at him to pick him up. He's got a temper too - when something doesn't go his way, either someone or something is getting whacked or he throws himself down to the ground in protest. Fun stuff.
