…13 Months Old

July 8th, 2008

The kids are 13 months old today.

Evelyn is walking now around 90% of the time, though she still walks a bit more stiff legged than James, she’s doing it and is very proud of herself as she does. While watching Evelyn I’ve also noted that James is walking differently also these days…. he’s quicker. He hops along too, almost like he might be thinking about learning how to run-walk.

I hope you all saw the video in the previous post of James dancing, Evelyn has started to get her groove on too.

This past weekend we painted our deck. It’d been something that needed to be done since we bought the house, a good power wash and then repainting. The prior owners used interior paint on it, and not paint made for decking. So James power washed it Thursday night, and we painted Friday for 4 hours, Saturday for almost 5 hours… but it looks fantastic. We are super pleased, and really are hoping not to have to do it next year again.

It’s been super humid and sticky here so the kids and I have been staying inside a lot more than I’d like, it does the kids good to be outdoors and me too. Grandma Susie bought the kids a pool for their birthday, but they’ve only been able to use it three times because of either rain/flooding or being too hot. Plus I won’t go out there just myself-the pool is too large that if something happened to them both at the same time it wouldn’t end well I fear.

There isn’t too much new here otherwise. Just staying cool.
