Update

Brenda gave me some sunflower seeds and I planted them next to the shed with very low expectations anything would grow. What a delightful surprise!
1. We've been painting Pat and Deb's house all week before the wood floors get redone. They are starting on the floors tomorrow so we've had an impending deadline all week. It has been exhausting but it's almost done. Aaron, Pat, and Deb are working on the last of the trim right now as I write this post :)
Noah likes Cheetos.
2. Aaron got a 3 year fellowship working with a professor who is studying Serotonin and aggression. In the French Alps. We don't have many details yet but Aaron will be spending some time there and most of the time here. We should know more in August.
Eli and Dad taking a nap today. I love that they are asleep in the same position.
3. We set the boys up with twin beds in their room. They love them. Eli particularly loves standing on his bed and then flipping over (literally) the foot board of Noah's bed. I'm not going to lie, I'm enjoying snuggling with them in their beds until they fall asleep.
Does this really need an explanation?
4. For those of you who don't already know, I'm pregnant. We are expecting our newest addition in February, only a couple weeks after Aaron's sister Katie is due. I am anxious for my first appointment next week so I can make sure there is only ONE bun in the oven!

Thanks for the comment Amanda. Your little boys are so cute. Lil' Eli must be one tough dude.

Congratulations you guys!! I'm so excited for you! And I think it's really cool that Aaron's parents are going to be so close! We're moving to Ellensburg, so we'll be much closer to family as well. It's so much nicer that way!
