A ripple from the Rivers

Playing with Adelynn&Kate &Dad at he reunion.

Where did the last few months go?!?  Olivia is already 7 months old.  Sarah has adjusted to being at home and is still enjoying it!  I will admit there are some days that I escape out the door for a few while Dan and Olivia get some dad and daughter time.  I'm still making it to the Y twice a week (excellent stress relief).  The summer is in full swing.  This week is VBS--Olivia will spend it in the nursery while I teach 3rd grade.  We've been to library storytime and will go again soon.  We plan to hit the pool a little more frequently, but there have been so many thunderstorms in the past few weeks that it has been a bit challenging.  We have tested out the wading pool in our backyard as well as played in a bowl of water.  I continue to watch Xander on Monday and Tuesday--by the end of those days I'm pooped!  I may also have a private OT client this summer and possibly horn lessons.  I continue to work one Saturday a month at ViaChristi Rehab and have picked up a few other days here and there.  Keeps me sharp! 

Dan is busy keeping the website for KWCH looking fresh.  He's gotten his Droid app approved and is finishing up getting his iphone app approved.  If you have these smartphone devices--check it out!  Dan has played bass for church and has been getting the itch to play more.  He's been hard at work on a brick patio of sorts just off our deck. 

Brisco has been busy trying to keep track of Olivia and Xander and Dan and I.  Some days he flops down at the end of the day and just lays there.  He still puts himself to bed around 9pm, hates thunderstorms, and loves to have treats.  Some days he opts for a walk and others he just looks at me and stays in.

Olivia has discovered that rolling can get her places.  She is a solid sitter and loves to sit and play with toys, especially the ring stacker and things that she can bang.  She's had a little stranger danger in the past week, but most of the time is happy and smiling!  Olivia likes listening to music, looking at books, and playing with her toys.

You can keep up with our current adventures at: theriverscurrent.blogspot.com  I am trying to be better about keeping it a little more up to date.  Sometimes there are some saved posts that make appearances out of order!  :)
