There's Nothing to See Here

While this was a week with a two-day local holiday, I'm not really motivated to put together a comprehensive post. We have been both excited and scared about BYU's NCAA prospects without Brandon Davies, and have been pleased at the positive press reporting about the Honor Code.

Claire is an example to the kids in primary by learning the practice songs in English and in Spanish. She gets right up in front and belts out the songs in both languages. The American kids don't even know the words in English, and the Argentine kids don't know the words in Spanish. So Claire is getting an inside track for American Idol season 19 tryouts.

Sam grew two new appendages this week in the form of a musical Nemo book, and an I SPY book. He won't go anywhere without them, and asks non-stop for Candace or me to accompany the music (nursery rhymes set to story lines within Finding Nemo). Sometimes we look at him and think he's so big and talking so well, and yet he'll be two for four more months. Sometimes I think that he'll eat the other kids in nursery for a snack.

Caroline is about to be trouble. She's full-on crawling now and its too big for her carseat. It's time to move her out to the next one, but that switch brings with it many terrible adjustments... the most terriblest being that then we have to start carrying her everywhere... and not having a place to put her at church.

As for Candace and I, it's been a rough patch. Lily's birthday is March 16th and this is the first one without her. There's nothing I can say to adequately relay our sadness.
