I'm back. Sorry it takes me so long to post. I always think I have to do something really extensive like post a million pictures - which makes me feel overwhelmed so I just don't end up posting at all. So we have begun living the life of a lawyers family. What I mean by that is that not did Andy go out of town on a case for two days this week but he is also working all weekend. He did take a few hours off this afternoon to go to the zoo with us. We were joking that it's kind of like having visitation rights for a few hours a week. Actually, though I've discovered that it's not too bad as long as I'm expecting it. We knew that long hours were part of the package so I guess now it's about making the hours we have count. Of course, that's what I say two weeks into it - check with me in another couple months :)

The kids are great. Naomi is getting more and more expressive/demanding every day (as she sits here yelling at me). She has figured out how to fold her arms and she loves to jump - even if she can't get her feet off the ground.

Tal turns 3 on Tuesday! I can't believe it. I can see that 3 is definitely going to be more difficult than 2. He is WAY more opinionated and knows exactly what he wants. However, with the increased degree of difficulty comes an increase in awareness and articulation of what's going on around him. It is amazing to watch him grow.

I'm doing good. Still exercising - not quite as zealously as before but...:) keeping at it. Oh yeah, and we're buying a new house so trying to keep this one clean while we try to sell it keeps me really busy. We spend A LOT of time outside. Luckily, it's cooling down a little bit.

Love you guys!

So if Naomi can fold her arms, can she keep her eyes closed during the prayer? I know some people in your family have difficulty with such things! I'm glad to see things are well for you. My sympathies are with you on the wife of a lawyer. I'll be there next year. We should meet up in Utah and commiserate together! Love ya!

looks like you had fun in UT but we're glad you came back to the sweat-pit. Tal & Naomi are both adorable. :)

So I totally invited myself on your blog... Nice pics. I hope you don't mind me adding you on mine (let me know otherwise)- So I miss you so much already... I keep having visions of the red Volvo zooming by in the neighborhood... and when we go on our walks I just want to stop by... I know we saw each other 2 days ago so I shouldn't be crying about it :)- Hugs to you all.

My son is very demanding and screams at me all day long too... it seems. How is Naomi doing now? Have you moved into a new house now? How is Andy liking his job??
I'm glad to find your blog!
