Photo Mystery

I hate winter. I could lay on the couch, covered up with multiple blankets and read for 3 months straight. I don't even want to get up to eat. This would also explain why I don't blog much in the winter. It's just too much work. You have to get the kids doing something silly, get up and get the camera, find the cord to get the photos on the computer...it's just too much work for me to even think about. So, I was pretty happy today when I was uploading some card photos to e-mail to a client (I was only doing this because I didn't have a choice, I have to earn my keep around here or Rick may kick me out). Much to my surprise there were photos of the kids! Rick must have gotten brave when I was out a few weeks ago and actually used the camera. For Rick to even consider taking a photo without me asking him to is pretty amazing. I am very proud of him, and grateful.


So, while I am at it, I guess I could update everyone on the kids. They are as wonderful as ever. Millie is getting ready to start tennis in a few weeks. Her favorite things are reading and sports right now. She is getting cabin fever and really wants to get outside and play baseball. She is also looking forward to the swing set Rick is going to build her this spring. She earned it by learning her words and reading books. We had a chart for her and she filled it up this winter so she gets a play set when the weather is warm.


Reed is just so cute I can hardly stand not to snuggle him all day. He seems to have other plans though and is too busy to just sit with me. He still loves to play trains but his favorite things to do these days is to throw and kick balls. He loves balls. If his arm continues to strengthen like it has his first year and a half, he will be pitching in the majors or throwing the football across the field in no time. He is picking up new words all the time, almost daily. He is not able to speak as well as Millie did at this age but that doesn't stop him from trying. He has his own language which oddly enough, I know exactly what he is saying. Too bad no one else does.
