Orin has his first imaginary friend - well, not completely imaginary. It is a toy stethoscope that he calls "Mr. Dinosaur." Mr. Dinosaur roars (too loudly sometimes) and talks. Orin likes to bring him out with us often. We get into the car and Orin says "We're in the car Mr. dinosaur." Mr. dinosaur answers back in Orin's deepest possible voice, "We're in the car, Orin." The conversation continues from there.

It stinks like fish in here. The fam upstairs made Salmon. I'm sure it was perfectly delicious but for some reason smells from upstairs just linger down here. I think germs do too.

Speaking of germs, Damien is sick AGAIN. Making its way around the family again...or just a relapse of what we all just had.

Both kids' diapers leaked last night and they woke up early. What are the odds?

When I pick Micaiah up from the nursery and I'm holding him in my arms, he looks at whoever has been babysitting him and says, "Mama, mama" while pointing to my shoulder over and over. It's as if he's saying, "This is my mama, the one I was talking to you about." He does it to Damien when he gets home from work. Do cute.

I finally worked up the courage to try a spinning class at the gym - and survived! Its 45 minutes of intense bike-riding. I dislike any workout that is major cardio or legs - which is why I've been going to the gym for 8 months and just now tried spinning. I love the body pump class I take but now that I'm in better shape I don't get as much of a cardio workout. I'm happy to say I didn't HATE spinning. I've gone to three classes now and I think I'm going to try to do it at least once a week.

Micaiah has been a sleeping champ lately. Down at 9:30pm up at 10:00-10:30am. Two hour or more naps. Score!

Time for bed. It's amazing how much more tired I am without Damien available to help even for a few hours in the evening. I was gonna give the kids a bath tonight but we have a birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese tomorrow. I feel like we ALL need to be disinfected whenever we go there. They'll get baths in the afternoon before church. :-)
