Again, sorry for the delay in posting but you know the deal. Still working on the house and unpacking. I still have to hang pictures and decorations, arrange my scraproom/our office, paint Sean's room, and work on the second bathroom. In the last few weeks, we have moved Eli into his new crib, put up some curtains, finished most of the unpacking, and planted a garden.

Mamaw and Papaw K. visited last week. I think it was a nice visit. Sean was more open than he has been in the past and they even got to hear him use a few of his words. In fact, I would say Sean was completely cool with them being here and that is a big step forward for him. Eli was loving the extra attention after some initial clinging to Mom. He is a real Momma's Boy, for sure.

Eli now has 7 teeth through the gums. He has mastered the crawl (but Army crawling is still faster on the hardwood floors) and he is starting to pull up on furniture. At Sean's therapy yesterday, Eli was standing using some of the kiddie furniture in the waiting room. You can tell he is very anxious to walk and I think he will be there before he turns a year old.

Sean is starting an autism day camp on Monday. It meets every weekday for 2 hours a day for 3 weeks. It's taught by a large group of therapists from this area. It will be good practice for Sean because when he goes back to preschool in August it will be all morning long Monday through Thursdays. We are keeping all his private therapies as well so he is going to be one very busy little boy.

Here are a few pictures from our Memorial Day zoo trip. I like the one where the caribou are lined up under the umbrella during a storm.
