Catch- Up

So it has been a while since I have posted anything and there are 2 reasons for that. One, we don't have a working camera at the moment, but should be getting one soon because Halloween is coming and that means pictures. And second there has not been much to write. We have been busy enough, just not with interesting stuff. But here is the update all the same...

Kyle's work seems to be the same, though he seems to find the work days shorter when the Yankees are playing. Softball is winding down and that means basketball will be starting soon. At the moment he is in heaven and split in two at the same time as the Giants are playing Sunday night football and the Yankees are playing game six of the playoffs all at the same time.

Dayton stays quite busy mostly playing with friends, but also he goes to school twice a week and loves it. He is really into numbers and letters right now, always asking when two numbers are together, what number is it? Soccer just ended yesterday and to end the season Dayton had 2 of their 3 goals. There is no score keeper at his age, but that does not stop Dayton from keeping track and knowing who won. We have had a few talks with him that it does not matter if he wins or loses, it is just for fun. Something tells me we will have that talk again. Dayton's first love is playing with friends. He goes from one friend to the next and when there is no one to play with he feels as though the world might end. When he can't find a friend, he loves cartoons and playing games on the computer.

Camrie is another story. She is not so easily entertained and keeps us quite busy. I can't get anything done until she is napping. She learns more words everyday and is happy to use them. Her new ones are "side" (outside), "ju ju" juice and "canny"(candy). Every time we walk into a store all I hear is " canny canny canny canny canny...". She also has no problem using her favorite word, "no". She is sassy and has no problem getting into trouble. Just the other day we were walking home after getting Dayton from school. The kids were a little ahead of me and I look up and there was Camrie standing in 3 inches of mud. Then before I could get to her she was trying to get out and could not get her feet out so she sits down in the mud. I could not believe my eyes. I pull her out, you could not even see her white shoes and it was two inches high on her pants. There was nothing I could do but take her home to clean her up, but she left a path of mud almost the whole way to our house. Her favorite thing to do is follow and copy Dayton. It makes him crazy, but she still does it and we think it is funny. If he gets a hi-five she has to have one, he gets his back scratched, so does she. And she loves to tease him. She takes his blanket, turns off his cartoons, takes his food, or pokes him with her fork, the list goes on. She keeps us all entertained.

I stay busy with the family and spend lots of time on the phone catching up with family and friends. I have loved this fall we have had, but missed the east coast trees. With all the sports going on I have been doing a lot of reading. I just had a fun weekend with my sisters, that was not as fun as it could have been because of the swine flu that one sister got, but we had as much fun as we could. And I am so excited for the holidays, just not the cold weather. So right here, right now, things are great!
