crazy crazy

Things here are going crazy. We've been sick with more than our fair share of illness for the last 3 weeks. Today it the first day in a LONG time that everyone seems to be feeling healthy.

Tomorrow I am FINALLY taking Kate in to get a Physical Therapy evaluation. I am really interested to see what they have to say. She is officially 11 months old and still isn't crawling or scooting. She still won't bare any weight on her legs and freaks out when we put her on her hands and knees. I'll be sure to update tomorrow night with what they find out...if any thing.

For the good new, the weather is starting to get nicer. It was hot (95) on Monday but is back to the upper 60's today with a lot of wind. With all the good weather comes the nasty mosquitoes. We're going to have to call the city and have them come out and spray....It's really bad at our house, swarms so thick that you can sit on the couch in the living room and watch the swarm fly back and forth across the back yard. Yuck!

Devon is REALLY busy with work. It's unbelievable and a true blessing. He seriously has more to do then hours in the day. He has been able to land some big contracts and they have been giving him more work than his crew can handle...plus he still has other jobs coming in, so he has started to look for people to start a second crew. His business partner has jumped on board full time and has been a great help to Devon. He is catching on quickly and although there is a lot to learn he seems to be a natural at dealing with the plants and seeing the end product in his head. It has been great for Devon to have someone to bounce his ideas off of. But, even with Levi's help, he is still easily gone 12 hours a day then comes home and does office work for at LEAST another 2 hours. It helps a little that it's staying light outside longer, the evenings seem to zip by faster for some reason and going out with the kids makes the days also fly by.

That's about all the news for now...oh other than Austin...he's being good and for the most part just being the same funny, jabbering little boy but to my surprise he knows and can recognize - in any order about 20 of the 26 letters of the alphabet!! He also know what noises most of them make! He will be 2.5 at the end of the month and I haven't even been working on them with him. He watches PBS in the mornings when Kate naps, and sometime in the evening after baths he'll watch "The Letter Factory" so when he started pointing out letters to me and I sad down and started asking him what the different letters were that I was drawing and he knew almost all of them it blew me away!! So, three cheers for Austin Hip Hip Horray!
