us right now

he lost his job on Thursday

and is still pretty angry about it

he's got a big list of jobs to apply for this week

and is using the time at home to catch up on yard work

she is heading off to a blogging workshop this week

and is terrified of meeting new people

she walks five days a week after dropping kids at school

and is already noticing a difference

he is pushing the boundaries of following-the-crowd

rather than standing for himself

he chose "ultimate disc" for sport

{I don't know what it is either, something to do with frisbees}

she will be 8 soon

and has already attended her first {One Direction} concert

she is excited that dad is home at night

and has decided she doesn't like Cub scouts any more

he was very excited to win a prize on Friday (for earning ten smiley faces)

and his slinky prize has lasted all weekend

he hates cabbage, but loves white sauce

and always finishes off the mashed potato

she has figured out how to slide down the stairs 

and insists on walking up by herself, too

she is cutting two molars

and is excited dad is home each morning
