Calvin
Proud owner of a new smile. He calls it his "Fancy Smile," and as you can tell from the picture it is indeed FANCY! He really likes school and has found a few friends - - - Raphael and Dylan. His teacher is Mrs. Browning, a nice grandmotherly type who always says, "Good morning, Calvin!" in a singsong voice when we see her on our walk to school. He is still loving the Wii and anything that has to do with Super Mario Bros. He has also recently developed a love of corndogs and requests them for Breakfast. What the hey!
Wyatt
He is a little bored since Calvin has been going to school. Now he wants to play Thomas and make Super Heros on the computer. He is still head over paws in love with puppies, particularly Rico. He is also into saying things like, "Hey, can you keep it down over here. I'm trying to play!" Wyatt has also decided that he is afraid of mummies, no matter how often we tell him they aren't real (that's gonna get sticky when he finds out that they are real!) He has become my little shadow since Calvin went to school, and I use that time to work him like a dog! He is great at cleaning windows and making beds.
Cyrus
Dude loves to just walk around the house. He rambles along all day until he finds some object to carry around. Favored objects include: a whisk, a wet washcloth, and an empty bottle. We ONLY buy expensive toys around here. heh, heh, heh. He just yesterday learned to shake his head side to side as if he were saying, "No." His mother takes full advantage of his head shaking and asks him such things as, "Do you want a million dollars and all the toys in the world? Do you want brownies for dinner? Are you adorable? Do you believe that the moon is made of cheese?" He is delightful. Plain and simple.
Noah
He is working hard at an Emergency Clinic until his office opens up in mid-October. He is the man! He comes home and hangs with the Banditos. I won't tell you that they wrestle in their underwear. I will only tell you that he likes to wrestle. He has been working diligently on his man pit. I am relieved! I was hoping that it would make an appearance in this house, and luckily it has. He strives to contribute to the pit daily. Noah and Katie have an agreement in their marriage that he will kill the bugs, and she will clean up the barf. Consequently, he has been busy purging the home of vermin, especially that little nasty. Yes, a Black Widow. Go ahead, shake from the hebbie jebbies. I did.
Katie
She also has attempted a new fancy smile, but recently decided that hers is not as fancy as Calvin's. Maybe she will work on a different smile, perhaps a sophisticated, or an intense, or maybe even a pensive smile. Who knows? The sky is the limit with smiles. She is much the same. Now she has a house to relax in. She wakes up and fixes Calvin's lunch and walks him to school with the other boys in tow. She is waiting on her clearance badge to volunteer in Calvin's class. She recently made up a chore list for herself and is trying to do a little housework everyday. Someday she will post the secret to laundry success as she has found it! She has also found a piece of furniture that she is refinishing, hoping to expose a diamond in the rough. Don't forget that she is always looking for a good book to read and tries to squeeze in some reading here and there. She just finished "The Friday Night Knitting Club," and she thought it was just okay. She hopes to make some friends soon because you know, friends are fun to have.
And now you know . . . . the rest of the story.
So, here is the new place. It is a lovely, one floor home in a pre-planned, cookie cutter neighborhood. We see some variation of our place about every fourth house.
