Back Home

Amanda came home safely last night from her quick mountain retreat.  She had a great time with friends, both old and new ones.  It was good for her to get out of the grind for a weekend.

Meanwhile, we had a pretty good time here.  I cleaned some of the rugs on Saturday and did a couple of other little chores.  We went to church and came home for Lily's favorite meal - slow cooker risotto.  Yesterday we went out bowling in the afternoon.  Noah didn't do so well at bowling and at some of the stores we went to.  He's right on the bubble with naps.  He doesn't absolutely need one and when he does get one he can't go to sleep at night.  But sometimes he has some behavior problems when he doesn't get one.  Yesterday was one of those days.  We made it through though.

It's good to have Amanda home.  I hear Lily using the bathroom now.  I think she's particularly excited.  I'm just proud of the fact that her hair was brushed every time we went out of the house.  That's a big step up for me.
