Mid Week Hellos

We've managed to scrounge up two new Brenna pictures for this mid-week update. She's been recovering from an ear infection, so the smiles and cute expressions have been a little fewer and farther between. Things have gotten better, though, she and Emily are getting more sleep and we're getting back to normal.

This past weekend we had a garage sale, cleaning out some furniture including our red sectional, Emily's sewing cabinet, and a lot of bookcases that were allowing us to keep more clutter laying around than we need. We're working on redecorating the rest of our living and dining room with Hawaiian pictures from our trips there, and have some surfboard border to put in the kitchen. There are also a multitude of projects awaiting me in the yard, but the mosquitoes have been horrible and the humidity oppressive.

Back to Brenna, she turned 10 months old yesterday. She's standing more on her own every day, although actually walking is probably a bit off. She's still not interested in crawling, although if she's on her belly she pushes herself around backwards with her arms. Our little girl is still very chatty, saying "mama", "dada", and other assorted things.
