It has been crazy around here lately, since Travace arrived, or maybe I should say more crazy than usual. It seems like I spend all my time just trying to keep up. With all the responsibility of housekeeping, cooking, and taking care of Zoe on Levi I have been trying to help him out by keeping her as much as I can. I love that girl, but, she wears me out. She is so full of life. I call her my little wild one.

Travace is a good baby, a little colicky but not too bad. He eats and sleeps and poops like a champ! They went for his two week check up today and he had gained a pound and grown two and a half inches!

It is stinking hot in Oklahoma already. Sticky, humid, steamy, HOT and the bugs...

I really, really HATE summer here. My moods are so connected to how much I can be outside. I have been getting up extra early so I can work in my garden in the mornings because in the evenings when it does cool off a little the bugs are so bad you can't be outside without spraying poison all over yourself... no thanks, I will just go inside.

I keep thinking that someday.. someday Mark and I will be able to afford to spend our summers in the mountains. I want to buy a nicer bus so we can travel in comfort. That is the only way Emily would ever be able to travel with us.

Not a lot of new news around here, life is pretty much the same. I am re-reading Women Who Run With Wolves. I have been reading on it for almost 5 years and I get something new every time I pick it up.

Just thought I would check in ... love you guys.
