I’ve spent the last couple days trying to update the comment system on the blog so I can reply more personally to all the great comments you leave. It’s been a headache and I’m still in the middle of it but I just realized it’s been two days and I haven’t posted anything because I’ve been working on the upgrades when I get a free minute.
Today I thought I’d check in and tell you a few random thoughts to get you through till tomorrow when I’ll share some great book recommendations 
1. Elli’s favorite letter is W. I came home yesterday and she was wandering around saying “W” all over the place. Today she is also saying the sound of the letter W.
2. I was behind on laundry when I decided last Thursday to get caught up. Only to have the washer flash an error code at me! I finally got it fixed THIS morning. Yea, we’ve been recycling clothes from the floor and it’s been pretty bad. I’ve never been so excited to do laundry before!
3. I really want to go to the Evo ’10 Conference in Park City, Utah. I keep forgetting to ask my mom if she’s up to taking care of the girls for two and a half days while I go. I don’t like being two hours ahead of her. She’s just not ready to talk at 8 am my time!
4. I’ve been way too tired lately and just found out my iron is low. I’m hoping the twice a day iron supplement the doctor wants me to take will improve my energy.
5. We are a weekend and three days away from the end of the semester. I am so excited for Brent to be finished, at least for a little bit, and for the two road trips we have planned. So. Excited.
6. We had fun at a local National Park last Saturday. It was a beautiful day and we were all in a great mood. The pictures in this post are from then. Sammi took the one of me and Brent. She’s a budding photographer.
Melt. My. Heart.

Today we’re linked up with 5 Minutes for Mom and Seven Clown Circus and Marvelous Mommy.
After Brent’s basketball game one evening a few weeks ago, we saw this frog right outside the door. We cornered it and pet it, took a picture and left it to itself. It was very compliant and adorable, you know, for a frog.

Brent came home early from school the other day with the brilliant idea to take the girls on a nature hunt. We drove to the start of a trail that would take us through two covered bridges and a tunnel. When we parked the car, we asked the girls to look around outside and help us make a list of the things we might see on our nature walk. With our list in hand, and a camera in each girl’s hand, we set out to find everything on our list.
Our list: We added to it as we saw new things like the water and little rocks
After looking at all the pictures, which item on our list did we NOT find? There was only one.
