It's Been A While!

Hey there again! I realized that it has been a month since I have posted anything new about Breslin and I don't want anyone to get worried! Basically, things have been crazy for the adults in the Sharp household lately. I started my masters program at the end of April and Colby has been finishing up his first year and interviewing for a position next year.
Breslin has been SO much fun lately. He is the happiest, most laid back boy and I consider myself extremely blessed. I took the day off with him today because we didn't have a sitter and we had a great time. Breslin is smiling and laughing almost every minute of the day he isn't sleeping or hungry. We are flirting with the idea of starting the Bresmeister on solid foods this weekend when we have a little extra time, but we'll see.


Breslin is getting the hang of sitting up on his own and hardly needs any help. He is also teething...drooling all over everything in site and trying to put anything he can get his hands on into him mouth. He is proving himself to be quite good with his hands. He reaches for and grabs onto his favorite toys and then promptly puts them in his mouth. We think that he might be a lefty, Colby has his eyes set on training him to be a big-league pitcher already.

We have been doing a lot of walking lately. Bres now sits up well enough to face forward in his stroller without his car seat and he just loves looking around at all the cool stuff there is to see outside. We have been house shopping and checking out the neighboorhoods around the ones we like to make sure they are good for our walks. It has become a very nice, relaxing part of our daily routine.

This weekend we are planning on going to Clare to see Bres's great-grandparents for Memorial Day. Nana is coming too! We're all very excited about the extra time we get to spend together as a family!

Day 162 -- "Showing Us the Way"

Image
One of my favorite things about the spring is the baccalaureate celebration that takes place the week before graduation.  I love the chance to see my seniors in their caps and gowns and to praise God for their arrival to the finish line.  For every year since I can remember, I've listened to Western's Select Choir perform the song "Showing Us the Way" by Michael V. Ficocelli.  When I was a senior, I even got to sing it at my own baccalaureate.  That year, and every year since I have taught at Western, I get choked up listening to the perfectly fitting lyrics of this song.  Tonight, on a perfect evening at the Cascades Falls, tears ran down my face as I watched the seniors I taught sing the words of this song to their classmates, parents, teachers, and friends.  I smiled and cried a little more as I realized that someday there's a good chance I'll be watching my own kids sing it at their baccalaureate. I had to share it with you.  This isn't Western's

We Dance...and We Sing...When We Play the Drum!

Let it be known that my son gets his money's worth out of his toys. Or, in this case, someone else's money's worth. Whatever. You know what I mean. The toys that he likes, he really, really likes. He uses them a lot for a long time. This particular toy is a drum that was given to him by our friends, The Tappans, at his FIRST birthday party. Needless to say, tonight he was REALLY enjoying his gift.

Day 80 -- Calvin and Hobbes

Image
When I was in junior high and high school, I used to read the anthologies of several comic strips, including Garfield, Fox Trot, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes.  I remember reading them by the light of my bedside lamp, trying to stifle my giggles so that my parents wouldn't come bust me for staying up too late reading (the horror!). Calvin and Hobbes, especially, resonated with my sense of humor.  I found the strip simultaneously witty, funny, thought-provoking and perceptive.  I collected all of the anthologies, but somewhere between then and now, I either lost them or gave them away.  I told my husband about my tendency to read them from cover to cover, and how I was sad that I no longer had them.  Not too surprisingly, for Christmas, I received The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book from Santa. I have been slowly working my way through the book, and tonight I was reminded of Calvin's finicky eating habits and of his gift for creating macabre snowman art.  I w
