Lonely in Lakewood

It kind of feels like a ghost town around here. A group from church went on a mission trip to Panama last week and will be gone until Saturday night. Corrie is still in Idaho. Aaron and Prasti are busy with Prastis sisters wedding. More friends are on vacation in Arkansas. Other friends have family in town. Another friend is going on vacation tomorrow. Melissa just had a baby. How is everyone busy but us?
Somehow, we are managing. Jon has put a lot of time into the deck. The top should be finished tonight and then we'll have to work on a step. We should be ready to fully enjoy it this weekend.

Sams second tooth finally popped through and he is eating like a champ. He still isn't interested in real food, but he's doing great with the baby food. He did manage to get a few bites of ice cream in last week. Ben has been a roller coaster ride recently. When he's in a good mood, I couldn't ask for a better kid. He's been polite, funny and lovable. Then someone flips the switch and he starts pouting, whining and hitting. He has been in time out quite a bit recently because of the hitting. I'm hoping we move past that phase real quick!

We went to the Art Walk on Saturday. Its always fun to get out and check out what people in our area are creating. Unfortunately, we didn't see anything we couldn't live with out. Maybe next year.
