July 8-15

This week's highlights:
Austin:
1. Austin's in a pirate stage right now and at the end of a long sword battle, he gave me a kiss and said do you want to have a tongue fight? I put this in this journal because I know he'll laugh about this when he's 18...or maybe not.
2. He's asked many questions this week. How is plastic made? How do waves form? How does the grocery store get all their fruits and vegetables? What kinds of people/things don't go to heaven? How many teeth does a crocodile have? Sometimes I had to just pause and let him think about things.
Ashley:
1. She's saying, "I'm Dada's baby" all the time now. Her vocabulary grows by the day. She likes to say thank you and please and screams extremely loud still when Austin takes something from her that she wants.
2. Its really fun to see the difference between boys and girls. Ashley tries to sing along with the radio now and loves to dance and follow the moves when people dance on the preschool shows. Austin never danced with Barney. She also still loves trying on different people's shoes and tries to put her bows in her fine sparse hair.



The highlight for both the kids this week was when Duane brought home his police/govt car and the kids got to sit inside and Austin pressed the buttons and horns and Ash pretended she was driving!

Other highlights:
This week was also our friend Roman Delzcruz's first birthday!
We had a baby shower for Brooke
I had BUNKO
I made Entrees Made Easy (love it!)
We had a BBQ for Duane's work
Austin had a follow up appt with the Gastroenterologist and we found out some good info. We'll be doing more testing including a 24 ph probe (tube that goes down his nose and into his stomach for 24 hours to find out where and when his acid is going) and a swallowing/aspiration testing done in the next month or so. (Fun fun.)

Keep enjoying the summertime and the pool!
Love,
Angie
