Well well, another Sunday and today is a very nice one! The weather lately has been very cold but today it seems to have warmed up a bit to a balmy 65 or so. We're about to head to the square for a bit but I wanted to make a post talking about the past week and what we've found enjoyable in our lives.
Paul is really starting to roll around now, as a matter of fact I just now while typing this noticed him trying to roll under my chair. He seems surprised he pulled it off! :D He's so funny and he has this ring of hair around the back of his head that didn't get rubbed off or fell out with the rest and I tell Lea I can get the clippers to trim it to match the rest, but I don't think she's up for that.
Andrew is just as crazy as always but we're so proud of him for being potty trained for the most part nowadays. He's doing very well for a 2 year old, wearing but underwear and pants during the day and a diaper at night in case he wets the bed. He's doing very well in many aspects and we're working one on one with him on the places he could use assistance in his growth.
We got our van back out of the shop and it was something relatively minor. We also found a reputable mechanic we can trust here in Denton which is good. They did a great job at a very fair price over at Tommy's Auto Shop so if you're looking for someone good, check them out. The van runs like a champ now which is good as we find ourselves driving quite a bit with the kids. Thank you for all of your kind words and positive thoughts with that.
Business wise, we've updated our website for the business with some of our most recent clients and we have about 4 new ones to add now and we're working on wrapping up about 4 more. We're in a good place with our business as it's not only something we enjoy doing, but it keeps us close to each other and happens to pay well enough to allow us to live with a focus on each other. The recession in the current economy hasn't affected us that much really as we've had plenty of clients that have recently started their own small businesses which is great. We keep our pricing very affordable for our clients so if you ever need a small business website.. ;)
As far as family goes, we've had Lea's mother Sarah over this past week which was very nice. She brought food for us to enjoy with her and it was just a good, positive experience like always. She's very peaceful and continues to be a guiding light for us in many areas in life. Andrew also loves her very much so they get some good time together.
We also got to see our cousin Lori who came over with our other cousin Matt. We cooked a whole chicken and got to enjoy that and their company. We have a few things in common including tinkering with electronics and computers and we enjoyed watching a few videos on how to build antennas and such.
If you've seen the past post with videos from Lea, you'd also notice we got to spend time with my Dad recently which has been long overdue. He's someone that I never spent much time and energy being close to and it's good that we are getting the opportunity now. Our transportation was a hindrance before as he lives about 20 miles out on a gravel road, but our minivan can handle it now. We plan on going camping on his farm very soon as I think it's important for Andrew and Paul to get a taste of the outdoors and natural settings and Lea and I will enjoy the environments as well. I will also be helping my Dad with some farm hand areas if he'll have me like building fences, armadillo hunting, working cattle and more. I used to do this when I stayed with him in the past and it taught me alot about many subjects. Hunting armadillo may sound like something cruel, but the fact is they run wild in the fields and dig holes in them big enough for a horse or other livestock to get their hoofs stuck in. Which isn't a problem if they are just moseying around, but you can imagine the damage that can be inflicted on a 2000lb cow running through a field and suddenly gets his leg caught in such a hole. It can break it quite easily and you can also probably imagine what would happen if you're on a horse running through a field and this occurs. It's just dangerous all around to have those holes being dug and one thing you need to manage.
As for friends, we've recently seen our friends Ken and Angie, Samika and Patrick, and even met some new ones through our parenting groups. It's always great to be around them and enjoy their presence and we can't wait to meet more and spend time with them. We're also making new acquaintances through our new church we attend. We just got back from church a bit ago and today's "sermon" revolved around Martin Luther King and how he relates to our new President Obama who will be taking office in what.. 2 days? We live in exciting times for sure and it will be interesting to see how things go with fresh faces and outlooks in the White House.
Ok, I've probably rambled on long enough, I think I can hear the "wrap it up" music like they play at the award shows on TV so I will wish you all the best and if you've read this far, I give it to you. Much love always,
- Andy, Lea, Paul, and Andrew
