I need to add some pictures or videos, but here are some great things that have happened despite Libby's tuburculosis and our forced return to the USA:
- Shane and Lukas experiencing their first small-town July 4th parade. They loved the horses, anything with sirens, and lots of crazy bicycles.
- Shane touching snow for the first time with a smile and saying, "It makes a sound!" (when you walk on it). Lukas touching snow for the first time with a frown, then a cry, but then trying to eat it.
- Several trips to the Portland Children's Museum and, separately, the Zoo. I could virtually see the boys brains getting activated!
- Some quality time at the Oregon coast. They loved the sand. And running in the wide open space. Fun to watch.
Also, for the record, Lukas has entered a stage where his favorite phrase when he wants us to join him in some part of the house is, "Come on guys. It's fun!" And Asha is squirming all around the room; feels like it won't be long until she'll be crawling. And Shane is playing his toy guitar while making up lyrics/songs, and he continues to be fully alert and ready to go at 6am. Yikes.
