Hi all,

I've been trying for several days now to post some videos of Evelyn chasing Fuzzball and of her climbing the stairs after Chloe, but they aren't uploading. So, here are some unrelated pictures.

We continue to house hunt, but are quite selective. Good thing we aren't in a hurry to move.

Dave had a company picnic on Friday and we think he got bit by something on the back of his neck. It's super red and swelled up something crazy, even his glands are huge. He had a fever with shivers on Saturday night and says it's painful and itchy. He went to the acute care center yesterday. They are treating him for cellulitis and put him on 2 antibiotics. So far, he's no better. If these meds don't work he'll have to be admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics. The doctor couldn't say how he got it. Cross your fingers these meds do the trick.

Will keep you posted...

We went up to Albert Lea, MN. last weekend for my college reunion. We had a good time, it was short, but nice. Kaye got her gambling bug taken care of by going down to Northwood, IA. casino. Phil Moore and I just sat at the bar while Kaye played the machines. Last time we were there, she won $50 bucks in the first half hour. This time she went away broke.

We took a boat cruise, toured the old college campus, and had a very nice dinner while we were there.

It was great getting together on Friday. To all who were not with us...you were missed.

Evelyn had a super fun time and literally passed out in Grandma Kaye's arms from the excitement!

10 months

Hi there! Today I'm 10 months old. I've done a lot of growing up since last month. For starters, I'm crawling all over the place. I love to explore! I have the most fun pulling myself up so I can stand. Crawling towards Chloe and Fuzzball is lots of fun too. They don't know what to make of me being mobile.

I'm eating more and more people food. I seem to love everything, except cottage cheese. It just feels funny in my mouth. Yesterday, I even tried cat food. Ya know, it wasn't half bad. :)
I've pretty much mastered drinking out of a sippy cup. I just forget sometimes that I have to tip it up as I'm drinking, otherwise I just suck air.

I love playing with my friends at school. I learned a valuable lesson too. Don't put your fingers in someone elses mouth because you might get bit.

When the weathers nice, I like to play outside. See me in my sprinkler pool!

summer fencing

Rodrigo and I joined Fencing Star Academy! This fencing club is super fun because it fences with all three weapons: epee, foil, and sabre. Our coach Oswaldo was the olympic coach for the Venezulan team before coming to America and his son is the 8th best foilest in the world! We are learning so much! I am continuing to do epee but Rodrigo has recently switched over to foil, but he will still practice epee at school. It is so much fun and such a great work out!
