Another Almost Picture-less Post

Weekly Happenings: This past week was pretty average. We didn’t really go anywhere or do anything too out of the ordinary…I think there was a trip to the library and a family outing to Wal-Mart, but that’s about it. Real party-animals, huh? 😉 Truth be told, we all kind of like hanging around home. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we can do so in pajamas/”comfy” clothes… 😀

The Weekly Weather: It was typical-for-Texas April weather: mostly sunny and warm days with one cool and cloudy day mixed in. I think there was one day where it rained overnight, but I don’t remember for sure…it must not have been too huge of a storm. 😉

What Paul’s Been Up To: He started back with his classes for BYU-I: Object Oriented Programming (Java) and Global Hotspot Pakistan. He’s still driving the rental car, though we just got word that the insurance company is going to total the Honda and give us a check for what they’ve valued it at (which we’ll use as a down payment for a replacement car). He’s started researching replacement cars already and has a pretty good plan in place so that the car shopping process will be as seamless as possible.

What Sarah’s Been Up To: For me, it’s basically been another week of keeping the littles happy and healthy. 😀

What Joseph’s Been Up To: The main fun thing that happened for him this past week was that he got to do Field Day at school. He loved getting to do all the different activities and had a great time with all his friends.

What Abigail’s Been Up To: She has officially hit the four month mark (I’ll have her updated stats next week since her appointment is tomorrow) and has discovered shrieking. o.O Joseph loves mimicking any sounds she makes, so it’s been pretty crazy in the house and car as of late. 😉

This Week in Pictures: As the title eludes to, this is almost a picture-less post. It’s not that they didn’t do anything picture-worthy…it’s more that I don’t think to pull out my phone to snap a shot as often.

He loves to hang out with her, wherever she may be. You can sort of see the remnants of a Poke ball that he had painted on his cheek as part of the festivities of Field Day. 🙂

I put her into the “buzzy chair” (as Joseph calls it) and then took a small load of laundry upstairs to fold. I could hear her shrieking (happily) and then a minute or so later, silence. I came down to check on her and found this. I wish I could fall asleep this quickly!

Bonus Video: Paul attached the mobile to the swing and Abigail really likes to look at it. When she first noticed it, she was shrieking and smiling at the bears. Of course, as soon as Paul hit record, she stopped. Such is the life with babies. 😉
