Hodge-Podge

• J took a step today. He was cruising along the couch and let go for a second and took a step. Of course, he refused to do it again but I did see it the one time.
• S is soooo funny with his adorable eye rolling and too cute grin, I could just eat him up. Today's funny statement: "I want pasta tonight" to which I replied "Okay, I'll make spaghetti" and he responded with "NO - chicken and something with pasta but no spaghetti". Well okay Bobby Flay - didn't realize his culinary tastes have grown too refined for spaghetti!
• We rented a Tiger Woods golf game for Wii and have had tons of fun playing it. L beat our butts tonight. She is headed for the Masters!
• Daddy Piper's work has fallen off again to nothing. This causes an abundant amount of stress on our home - financial being a main one obviously. The other stress is it makes the week feel like a week long weekend so our schedule is completely out of whack. Let's hope for more work next week and we can all get back into our daily routines.
• Homeschooling is back in swing again. L has really taken to the books like a champ. S is continuing with his reading lessons and loving every second of it. It is so fun to teach them new things and learn new things with them on a regular basis.
• I think I found a Daisy group for L. The lady was serious a talkative soul when I chatted with her tonight. I think during our 14 minute conversation I said 10 words, maybe. I offered my help and she was honest when she said she didn't want a co-leader but rather someone who could take direction and not interfere with the plans she has. I can do that. I don't need to be in charge of this group or add more to plate. I am happy to assist and have no added responsibility right now!
• L started jazz this week. It was sad at first because she was super nervous about not knowing anyone and I could feel her pain. She seemed to get over it quickly though and came out with a glowing smile and excited about next week.
  

Life just marches on. Just when I think things will be quiet and fine for a spell, something happens and it shakes our world up again. Such fun here in Piper Paradise!
