Well, I don't know if it's the excessive heat or what, but I've decided to hop on the band wagon of blogging. I think it was my friend, Claire, that inspired me. Her blog has allowed me to keep in touch with what her family is doing and how their kids are growing and changing, even though nearly 9 hours of terrain separate us. If I keep up with this, maybe it will keep some of you that are far away, more up-to-date with the happenings of the "Eilmi."
I think I'll primarily use this space as a place to share some of those (quite frequent) hysterical moments with my kids. (Some of them aren't so hysterical until some time has past...hence the website address for this blog.) I don't write down Isaac's comments enough, so maybe, knowing that some of you would get the chance to experience them too if I blogged about them, will inspire me to "take action."
Since it's nearly midnight and Isaac gets up at 6, I'll keep tonight's short...
During Austin's nap, Isaac was looking at old photo albums this afternoon. He was rummaging through an album from our senior year of college and pointing to us and friends he knows, naming each one. "There's you mommy, and that's auntie Jen, and there's Daddy..." and so on. Well, he got to a photo of Lisa (his aunt) and I said, "you know who that is, who is it?" He said, "I don't remember." "You tell me." So, trying to play his game, I said, "Well, it's Dan's friend..."
He quickly shouted out, "LISA." Kurt and I chuckled at the fact that mentioning Dan, Isaac's hero, who just so happens to be Lisa's fiancee, made the connection for him. We went on thru several more pages of photos and then he came upon another picture of Kurt and I, Lisa, and my mom. He pointed to Kurt and I, saying, "Daddy and Mommy," and then said, "Dan's friend, Lisa!" It was hysterical. It's not Auntie Lisa's fiancee or friend, Dan, rather DAN'S friend!
Ciao for now. I wonder if I'll ever do this again...

Hey, well it's getting late at night...we are running out of blog comments...maybe Jen and I should start our own blog! Let's see what could we write about--T-town vs. Beaver Nation? Things to do late at night that crack us up, but probably aren't really that funny? The new PLU bookstore and hipper Parkland that we visited today? How to get Ethan and Seth to be awake at the same time?
Anyway...you go girl for starting a blog! (I just went to a blog for the first time last week. And Jen has chosen to go the family website route.) So, I guess you are by far the hippest of us all!
Night-night, don't let the blog bugs bight...
