Humidity…is Not My Friend

Weekly Happenings: This past week was pretty uneventful. The weather has been really hot and humid, so we’ve been trying to do stuff inside. We did end up going to the zoo on Saturday, but since we have passes, we were fine with only going for a couple of hours.

The Weekly Weather: As mentioned before, it has been hot and humid. While the temperature doesn’t seem to soar like in California, the humidity makes it seem hotter than it really is. I think I’m slowly acclimating to it all, but it’s taking longer than I’d like. 😉

What Paul’s Been Up To: Enough people have joined Paul’s part of the Pathway Program, so he’ll be able to start classes soon. He also has done a lot of work in the yards to keep them looking nice.

What Sarah’s Been Up To: Keeping Joseph entertained, trying to keep ahead of the household work, and trying to sneak in a nap here and there (even when a little boy is peeling my eyelids open while asking if I’m awake).

What Joseph’s Been Up To: Joseph’s been really interested in feelings lately. He’ll watch my face closely as I react to things and he’ll ask if I’m mad, happy, or sad. It’s made me more careful with how I react to things, for sure! He’ll also randomly tell me that he loves me (though I’ve noticed that there is an increase when I put on his favorite show or fix his favorite food/snack). 😉

Checking out the elephant while riding on Daddy’s shoulders. As they were walking, Joseph would indicate which way he wanted to go by grabbing the bill of Paul’s hat and turning Paul’s head in the desired direction.

He loves sitting as close to the engine as possible.
