I feel very happy because painting the kitchen cabinets is going better than expected. After priming the cabinets, I worried about all the visible brush marks, and it’s such a pain to sand and sand. BUT I found that the actual paint is much more forgiving. What a relief. The bad news is I still have a lot of painting to go.

The truth is, I just want every home improvement project to be done. We still haven't even put the outlet plates back on from painting. I feel like we're living in a never ending project. We live in the projects.

This morning when Spencer was asked why he was out of bed before his alarm went off he said, “My hear t told me to get out of bed.” When he and Luke were at the gas station, there was a dog in a nearby car. Spencer said, “My heart was talking and talking to that dog, but the dog didn’t say anything.” Lately his sentences often begin with, “My heart will probably tell me . . .” What will his hear t say next?

Camille is just so cute. I just want to squeeze and squeeze her. She likes dogs, dolls, and clean hands. She loves her blanket. She is helping us to realize just how easy-going Spencer is. Her words are: water, baby, mommy, daddy, puppy, blankie, food, that, walk. I can’t remember them all.

Luke still hasn’t been staffed. Hooray!! Getting paid without working isn’t bad.

Here are more pictures some a few months old:

I love this picture of Spencer with Grandma Hazel.
Happy birthday, Grandma! You're on the internet!!

Spencer and Camille are so happy to be in Texas

From our horse riding adventures in Logandale. To thank you for taking us, Dad, I won't post my favorite picture from the trip.
