Stuff I don't want to forget

The last seven weeks in the USA have flown by. Lots of doctor appointments for Libby and mainly just catching up on sleep and energy lost since Libby's leg became infected in late February.

In the midst of this, about four weeks ago, Asha started rolling over. Now she regularly wakes up on her tummy, or rolls over while playing in the living room. She continues to be a happy camper who hardly ever complains. And she's started "talking" and is very responsive if you mimic the sounds back to her.

Lukas also hit a milestone. About two weeks ago he started walking down stairs while diligently holding the railing. He continues to talk -- a lot. On the way home from the beach on Sunday, he talked non-stop for the entire 1 hour 15 minute trip. Amazing...and funny!

Meanwhile, I noticed Shane hopping on one leg the other day. He's also improved in catching balls that he throws up in the air. Last, he's got a mind like a steel trap and continues to amaze me when he starts singing (or combining) songs that he's heard. Fun times!

Blogs I wish I'd written

A lot has happened over the last 6 weeks. Here's some things I wish I'd written about:

1. Singapore: Shopping Madness, My First Bubble Tea, and Lukas Experiences a Pet Store

2. 42 Hrs of Travel: The trip back to the USA and its similaries with The Amazing Race, but with Libby's use of wheelchairs in all four airports

3. The Medical Marvel: this was Libby's nickname for a while at the Oregon hospital; also many people wanted to know if her leg problem (which turned out to be TB) was from an episode of "House"

It has been exactly a month since we arrived in the USA on medical leave. I'm finally caught up on sleep and feel my energy returning after 3 months of madness in India. I'll write more soon!
