Six Pack Abs

Not a whole lot is new here. We have been busy with the house – showing it for both sale and for rent. There has been a reasonable amount of interest so far. We also seem to have a gaggle of deer that have taken refuge in our yard. Last night when I came home there were eight of them right by the driveway. Every time we let Riley out she takes off like a bat out of hell chasing them into the woods. Someday they won’t run and we will see what happens.

Spring is close. The weather has turned very nice this week. Some of the plants are starting to come up. There is life down by the pond. We hear a lot of strange (but cool) noises from there at night. We are not sure who/what is living down there. I also got the fountain up and running last week (a sure sign of Spring).

Sean is awesome. His new thing lately is doing situps. I lay him in my lap on his back. He holds onto my thumbs and then tries to pull himself up. I have to help him of course, but he is getting stronger and stronger. Once he sits all the way up he lets out a huge toothless grin and looks around to see what is going on. Even when he doesn’t get any help he tries to sit himself up. This kid will have six-pack abs! He is also doing great with “tummy time”. He can hold his head up and look around a little.

This weekend Tracy’s Dad is coming for a visit. This will be his first time to come visit us and his first time seeing Sean. We are all looking forward to it.
