Here is the thing. We have sort of had some sweet things happening around here. It is difficult to verbalize, but it seems that most of us are just feeling some good vibes as of late. As for myself, I am just energized. This is most likely due to the increase in "stay at home" days around here, with the snow and all. Being at home with artic weather has motivated us to get creative with our activities. So the four of us have been kicking a**. I have been able to get outside and take some runs quite a bit. We all went and rode indoor go-carts and played mini-golf at the Fun Depot, and Noah and I went swimming over the weekend, and we had a blast. So, the time has just felt good. I have been writing lots of new songs on the guitar lately, and have been invigorated at school. Jessica has started trying out all these new recipes at home, and we have been building fires everyday and night.The kids are busting out their creative juices as well. Avery is becomeing increasingly more mobile each hour. He spins around on his belly, scoots backwards, and sort of bounces forward on his knees. He is really happy about it too, and is rebelling against any seating option that include straps. He mostly employs the "stiff back arch flex" (SBAF) move to avoid any seats of this nature. I applaud his choice, as the SBAF move has an impressive track record, dating back to late Neolithic period. From time to time, he accompanies the SBAF move with a Highlander-style scream - in order to better express his feelings in the matter. He is also getting into light sabers. Noah is just funny. He was just messing around on Saturday, and he invited all of us into the kitchen, where he had grabbed various pots and pans and made his" drumset." (see pic) he rocked out Jingle Bells for us.
(notice teh tamborine on the "high hat") But the coolest thing is this: Noah and Avery are playing together now. It is amazing and beautiful. They both are just totally in love with each other. When they get home they are happy to see each other the most, and they giggle. Noah is really into physical horseplay these days, and he has taken to "wrestling" Avery to the ground. At first it scared us, until we realized that Avery loves it! He just laughs and laughs, and Noah treats him so delicately. Jessica and I are crazy excited about it. Oh, and have you heard The Pains of Being Pure at Heart? You have to listen to this.
