A couple of weekends ago we had a reunion with our PEPS group. This is a group of families that we were matched with a couple of months after Larson was born for support and friendship. The weekly meetings have long since ended, but we still love to get together every now and then to see how all the little ones have grown. See Nate below, rocking out on his kid-sized guitar! It was a lot of fun and even more chaotic now that 4 siblings have been added to the mix!
Yes, boring title for the post, but we've just been ticking along without any truly major happenings. Sometimes that's a good thing! I started my MPH classes last week, so that presented a fun new set of challenges, but so far everything is going well. It's quite different to be a student in the post-wireless-perpetual-web-access era...all the students in my classes who I presume to be a generation younger than me just whip out their laptops every day. I actually showed up the first day with *
gasp!* notebook & pen! Not to worry, I have all the class webpages bookmarked and am so far keeping up with the electronic parts of my education.
Cora is starting to engage more with the world these days and it's a lot of fun to see that there is, in fact, a little personality developing in there. Still can't go for more than an hour or so without getting cranky and in need of a nap, but it's so much fun to see her looking around and smiling when she's up for "playtime."
We're enjoying (probably) the last remnants of warm weather this week, but you can definitely feel the transition to fall, as the sun comes up later and later each morning. Even though fall and winter are my favorite times of year (yes, can you believe a native Minnesotan would tout winter as her favorite season?), I always get a little sad every year when my alarm clock no longer goes off before the sun comes up.
We set up the playmat below for Cora's enjoyment, but I think Larson has spent more time on it than she has :) He was showing her "how it worked" in the picture below. Hard to believe when they're laying side-by-side that Larson was once that small! How time does pass quickly...
Hope everyone has a great week!
