A Return From a Long Hiatus

A lot has happened since the last post. We moved into our new house on May 14, 2005, which is gorge. It was a no brainer when we saw this house and I immediately became disinterested in seeing anymore houses after we looked at this one. It just fits us.
Maddy is saying a lot of words and running around like crazy. When she says dog, it sounds like dock. When she says fox, it sounds like fu**s. Surprisingly, when she says duck, it sounds more like dog than dock. She has an amazing memory and can recognize hundreds of household items like, couch, clock, and chair. She knows what a good girl is, yet still points to herself whenever I say it. She'll learn one of these days. :)
On July 21, 2005, we found out that Christian has juvenile diabetes. He's a hero in our household because of how he handled the whole thing. He's been stronger than we've been and has given some validity to the saying (that I've heard hundreds of times in the last two months) "Children are resiliant."
I'm really looking forward to our trip to Alaska. I'd like to see some big cold things that float and sink ships. They're really beautiful in pictures.
I love you.
