Nathan, the recipe that didn't make it into my journal very will could have been acid reflux delight. It was lemon pork chops in the crock pot, which sounded kind of cool ... until the recipe instructions also added chopped up tomatoes and tomato sauce. It was the combination of lemon and tomato that created a ton of acid for Adam, and I didn't like the taste of it. I had to eat all the leftovers, because I wasn't going to just throw it all out and Adam wasn't going near it. Blech. No more lemon pork chops with tomatoes for us.
We're glad Dad is fine from totalling the car ... but I can't say we're going to miss the Geo. We drove that around the 2 times we've been to Oregon together, and man alive, how was that thing still going in the first place? Piece of junk!! We hope you actually get some insurance money for it!!
We're still cruising right along here - same as always. Adam is at school all the time. He's now in the middle of a writing competition which is going to eat all of spring break next week. Lovely. Summer and I have been mostly staying home for the last little while - a pretty nasty cold has been working its way through our house. I think we've just about shaken it though. I hope so. I'm tired of all of us taking turns being sick.
Summer will be 10 months old tomorrow, and we figure that she'll be walking by her birthday. She's sure trying hard! She has started to pull up on the furniture. She also is figuring out the sort of "next step" in some of her playing. We of course think it's the most adorable thing in the world, and we all clap our hands and say "Yay!! Good job!!" She can take all the rings off of her stackers, but yesterday was the first time I saw her put one back on. She also takes a cloth off her head to play peek-a-boo but also yesterday, she put it over her head for the first time when we were playing. She likes to read stories - we need more board and cloth books. Anything longer is too much for her attention span, so we read the same 4 or 5 books over and over. She likes them fine, but Adam and I can recite them. We want more board books because we're getting a little bored with them - you can take "Go Dog Go" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" only so many times. So if anyone wants to get us something inexpensive for her birthday ... board books! I'm already planning a party for Sat. May 12, because Adam's last final is on the 11th. We'll do something with just the 3 of us on the 9th, her actual birthday, but we'll save the party for that weekend.
