1. Enoch and I play a little game before bed. We try to best the other when telling each other how much we love them. We start by saying, "I love you." Then someone ups it by saying, "I love you more." And then, "I love you the most." And then, "I love you the mostest." And then, "I love you the mostest times infinity." And then, "I love you the motest times infinity twice." And on, and on, and on. Tonight, Enoch beat me by ending the contest saying, "I love you more than you love me infinity times hundred thousand and two." That's a lot. Right back at you, Enoch!
2. I was watching Kate color today. She was coloring a Hello Kitty picture with a polka dotted bow on Hello Kitty (is her name Hello Kitty or just Kitty and you are saying Hello to her? Do you say Hello, Hello Kitty? Greg and I had this conversation and didn't come up with an answer.) She had an orange colored pencil in her left hand and a yellow colored pencil in her right hand. The dots were yellow and the bow was orange. She was coloring with both hands at the same time. And doing a pretty good job at it. Crazy.
3. Finally! Finally! Finally! Gavin got his Eagle Scout Project approved. Finding a project has been hanging over our heads for the last year and it feels so good to have an approved project. I bet it will feel even better when it is finished. Gavin will be painting the instrument lockers in the band room at the Junior High. Mark September 22 on your calendars to come and help!
4. Enoch started piano lessons last week. So far, he is loving it. His teacher, Michael Boyd, is a senior in high school and a very accomplished pianist. We will see how long it takes for the whining about practicing to begin.
5. I have started reading to Guard daily. I would read a little here and there, but he is getting old enough now to listen and look at the pictures. He tries to grab the book and he has his favorites. He is really enjoying Time for Bed lately. He listens quite intently every night when we read from the scripture readers and Greg will read whatever he is reading out loud to him. I hope he will enjoy reading when he grows up.
6. I took Kate and Guard in for their well child check-ups. Kate is four and a half, but I was taking Guard in and decided to get Kate's kindergarten shots. She did great and only teared up a bit. She was so brave! We knew that Kate was on the small side, but I was surprised at her stats. Her weight was 35.4 lbs (33%) and her height was 39 3/4 inches (21%). She is a slow and steady grower, she hasn't hit her growth spurt yet.

What a fun Eagle Project, we have a trip planned for that weekend down to Fairview. Sorry, we would have loved to help out!
I love the game you play with Enoch! You are building memories. Someday he will really need to know that you love him--it will sustain him through hard times. Perhaps there is a career for an ambidextrous artist who also wants to be a dolphin detective! Hooray for an Eagle Project--it is a good one that means something to him. You have to know that I am loving the news about Enoch and the piano, and I love just as much that you read with Guard!
