The Heat Is On

So Hermiston is hot, but we have air conditioning so we shouldn't be too bad off right? I think not. Poor Chris is out in the 100 degree weather 6 days a week. He spends a lot of time sitting on the pipeline because it is about 60 degrees, and therefore helps him keep a little cooler. Here at the home front, we stay a little cooler--expecially on the hottest days when Dallon only goes outside for a few minutes at a time. However, Dallon has a horrible habit of leaving the sliding glass door wide open when he goes out. So while my AC is working overtime in the first place because its over 100 outside, it is quickly being undone. I check the door often now, just to try to make sure that it's closed.

I found some great resourses online that I can use to work with Dallon. It's a pre-school site that has great free downloads of printable file folder games to teach ABCs, numbers, shapes, calendar/time, and many other great topics. If you want the address to the site, email me and I'll send it to you!

I am getting a little nervous about Dallon's appointment in Portland. They sent a packet to us with a questionaire relating to his social, self-help, communication, and motor skills. I read through it, and it breaks my heart to have to answer no to the most simple things--like "Does your child answer the following questions: What do you eat when you are hungry? and What do you do when you are tired?" Hopefully I can calm my nerves between now and when we go.

Jace is funny as ever. He's spouting out new words all the time. He's not walking consistently yet, but he does on and off throughout the day now--depending on how fast he wants to get somewhere.

Chris and I will be married for 8 years this August! I can't believe it has been almost a decade since we first started dating. How time flies--and it seems to be going faster all the time. Hope all is well with everyone we love!
