Very Good Friday

Iain has been off work since Tuesday, and we've had so much fun as a family doing very mundane things. To us, though, they are quite magical. I know I sometimes go on and on about it, but when you have been where we have been, laying down sod while your toddler plays with the water hose or eats bugs can be the best day of your life.

Speaking of bugs, he is quite taken with them. And lizards. And, did you know that snot mixed with sand becomes very much like cement? Yes, indeed it does. Duncan's vocabulary seems to expand daily and we get a kick out of his words. Some are clear as a bell and some need a bit of interpretation. Anything in Iain's or my drinking glass is "nummy good", but so is pancake syrup. He loves to hug, and will walk up to one of us and say "hug!" then wrap his arms around our neck. Heaven.

We are to have a very chilly Easter after a string of 80-degree days. Yuck! We've been on three Easter egg hunts and he doesn't seem to care too much, but it's for me.

Iain is still looking for another job. I don't know how long this can last. Something has to come around, but I feel like I've been saying that for a year and a half.

I'm still trying to get more organized. And blog more often.
