So, what have we been up to lately? To tell the truth, I’m not entirely sure. But time seems to be marching along rather quickly, so I guess we’re staying busy. I’m always amazed at how much time and energy that living life takes.
Our new guinea pig, Septimus, has settled in rather well. Unlike his predecessors, he is eating well and seems to enjoy his new home. The only thing he doesn’t like at Chez Wilkes is the little boy named Jeremy, who screams at him and doesn’t really understand the concept of gentle petting yet. So, we mostly just keep the two of them apart.
Jeremy is two weeks away from turning one, and his hair has reached critical mass. I did get his one-year pictures scheduled for a few days before his hair is cut, so we’ll at least have one final record of what he looks like! We took this one after his bath one morning.
Today, he managed to crawl into a plastic drawer in his room. He was pretty happy until he realized he couldn’t get out. Here he is. I love his poor little feet stuffed in the corner.
We spent Saturday on the great hunt for spring sports equipment. Elijah needed soccer/baseball cleats (he’ll use the same for both this year), a baseball mitt, and a bat, and Charlotte needed shin guards and a soccer ball. We found out yesterday that soccer practice starts next Tuesday, and games start on Saturday, April 2. This is about two weeks earlier than everything started last year, so our March break from sports has not exactly materialized. Oh, well.
I also ran 10 miles on Saturday, which is the first time I’ve run in double digits since well before the baby was born. It was a nice milestone for this bout of training!
This Saturday, the kids will test for their red belts in tae kwon do. Due to Charlotte’s broken leg and the holidays this year, the kids have been at brown belt level for five months, which is the longest they have ever gone without having a test. They have a really difficult break this time, so we’re hoping that the extra time between tests has given them the chance to get ready for it. We shall see.
And that’s what we we’ve been doing. Hope that all is well where you are!
