I just can't seem to come up with anything interesting to write these days.  After reading other people's blogs -- their funny stories and comments, I feel so boring!  But in an effort to update my records, here's what has been happening around here:

- Lots of visitors to our house.  This weekend we had 2 of my sisters and their 12-year-old daughters fly in to go to the Young Women's General Conference meeting.  It was unfortunate that Karen was pretty sick, but it was still great to see all of them.  We mostly just hung out and visited, ate out, and did a little shopping.  (No, really, just a few hours this time!)

- I've been working on a quilt made from old dresses that were sister-in-laws' when they were kids.  I've only made one other quilt before, and have very little sewing experience.  It will be a far from perfect quilt, but it's been a fun learning experience.  I'll post pictures later of the 60's-70's style quilt. 

- Andrew has been singing the "My Eternal Family" song constantly.  It's pretty cute.  He loves it because it's about "building."  He's still enjoying Joy School.  And we're all looking forward to some nicer weather to go to the park more often.  

- A few months ago I had Eric's speech and hearing tested.  His hearing was fine, but his speech was delayed.  They don't know for sure why, but it's likely that it's due to poor hearing the first year of his life due to reoccurring earaches.   So a couple of times a month a speech therapist comes and plays with him.  It's really fun and I've learned a lot from watching her.  Most of it is stuff I've heard or read, but it's so much more helpful to see a pro in action.  He's added several words to his vocabulary and a few signs too.  

Speaking of Eric, I have wanted to post this picture of Eric.  He looks like such a little boy now!  He's standing by the basketball hoop -- he love playing ball (or carrying one around, or even sleeping with one.)  He will shoot hoops for 20 minutes at a time all by himself, yelling happily when he makes a basket.
