Life Goes On

For the last month we've been living at Andy and Corey's because of our flood repair nightmares and I've been in a coma because I've been feeling so sick from the pregnancy. Life is just now kind of returning to normal and I am so thankful. I'm sad to have failed so miserably at keeping a record of life for the last few months, especially since the memories leave my mind so quickly. New experiences replace the old ones and they are forgotten. Things I don't want to forget...

All the heart to hearts Marin and I have. How she can be so disrespectful one minute and genuinely remorseful the next. How she measured between her fingers how impatient I was with her tonight. How she uses (wastes) all my tape to create anything and everything with her toys/yard debris. How Graham earnestly promises that he won't do x, y or z again, but when he says promise (pwomith) with that lisp it's just too unbearably cute. How he loves to play rough with his dad. How he sings/talks to himself for at least 30 minutes before falling sleep at night.

Marin started pre-k this week and it made me think about the parent-teacher conference I had at the end of the last school year. "Marin just does her own thing and doesn't care if anyone joins her," her teacher remarked. "She is loving but very independent." I'm so curious if she is the same way this year or not. I'm going to try to post some random pics from the summer...let's see what I have.
