countdown

wohhhh-we found the warm weather! mason's thrilled-i on the other hand prefer cold weather over warm any day. but i must admit, the warm weather is long overdue and i'm glad it's here-for now. the kids get to run and play outside and we can make more frequent visits to the park. mese got the calendar out last week and wanted to know how many more days he had til school was out so we counted-34 days , 7 weeks. not much time left. time really does seem to fly right past us these days. we're anxiously awaiting mason's graduation from high school(just kidding, that's what the kids call it), i mean college. and we're just so excited for him. i can't believe how much my kids have grown and little orin-gosh, he's crawling! so exciting. i can't dwell too much on how fast my kids are growing up cause then i'll just be sitting at the computer crying, and wishing they would stay small-for a little bit anyway. sila's in big trouble for filling up her toy kitchen sink with water-twice! and there's water all over her floor. she's got a hearing problem, right? i did take her to the dr. yesterday and she has an ear infection, maybe i should give her a break. i'll discuss it with mason. nani and sila are always fighting, and most of the time, nani ends up crying. so we ask her "who did it nani?" and she always responds with"Sida!" (she can't say the "L" sound yet) so last night in the van during our family home evening drive, sila was trying to get nani to say mese did it, but nani wasn't budging. i think nani just likes saying sila's name-yeah that't it. anyway, life is still good here at the pattersons. and soon the pool will be open and then it'll get even better! stop by and see us!!!
