What a great weekend! Conference was excellent, and it was nice to be snuggled up in the house with Anthony and Ira, eating cinnamon rolls and left overs.
We're loving the beginning of Autumn. The colors are turning to gold, and it’s started to get a little chilly.
Ira is as cute as ever. After learning how to stand up, he’s finally figured out how to sit down from standing position. I never thought about what a valuable life skill that is, until he spent a week panicking every time he stood.He’s enjoying figuring out how to feed himself, and especially loves squeezing all the juice out of orange slices and rubbing it all of his hair. This picture is just really exciting cereal though.
So, I’ve used all of my birthday money for an oil painting class and am really enjoying it. After signing up, a huge wave of fear washed over me. I hadn’t picked up a paint brush since high school!...that’s just about 10 years. And just as I suspected, by talent is about where it was when I was 16, maybe a little worse. But what do you expect when you bury any amount of talent you have?
Anthony and I went to the Irish Festival last weekend, which made me reminiscent of my shortlived Irish dancing days. The team here is a world class, award winning bunch of cute kids.
Big news on the Ellsworth side of the fam, is that my sister Carolyn had her baby! Hurray! This is her 6th son, and her husband made it back into town with just a few hours to spare. What a blessing. I know where to go with all of my raising boys questions.
Anthony and I went to the dentist and eye doctor for the first time since 2007. Is it a bad sign that I’ve made my contact supply last that long? It feels like a luxury to get some of that stuff done, and my teeth feel sooo clean.
So that's about how life is. Love you guys!
