Life

I haven't written much in a while. It's been very busy and finding time just seems impossible. My parents were visiting and then Anna's dad was visiting, and of course, there is the usual busyness that goes with 2 working parents and 2 young children. So, not much time to write...or do laundry...or do yard work...

The boys have been changing so much.
Anders just seems more mature all around...and that is so fascinating to watch.

Jakob on the other hand, seems to have hit a patch of stranger anxiety. He's been particularly shy and attached these days. If you know him, this is unusual. In fact, I sort of thought he was coming down with something. Normally he is quite a social butterfly. It makes me curious.
He recently had a bad fall at the playground...and hit his front teeth on the metal teeter totter. It was not pleasant. After two visits to the dentist we thought he might have to have his front teeth removed...imagine that, a 2 1/2 year old without front teeth for 3 years! Luckily, he doesn't. Now, he will just have gray front teeth, but at least they will be there holding the space for his permanent ones. I don't think there is a link here, but you never know. I am so interested in watching my children grow and change and respond to life around them. I think this will always fascinate me.
