Traveling and Sitting

Last weekend we were able to go and visit Shem and LaDawn. It was just a one day up and back deal, but we got to see Damian sing. Damian was asked to sing to an all boys choir that they have in Boise and we were excited to see him sing. Unfortunatly, they only sang 3 songs and then they had a band play and some other kids sing. Damian was really excited about it and he really seems love singing. It was also nice to be able to talk to Shem and LaDawn next time we will spend the night so we can get in a longer visit. Sophia kept a careful eye on Raif and encouraged him (several times) to have a drink from his sippy cup, keep close to Mom and Dad, and play with several toys.
Raif is currently enjoying finding various parts of Pepper that he can sit on. Paws, legs, belly he is tring each to see what height he ends up at and Pepper keeps sleeping though it all. He has enjoyed sitting on many objects lately to see what happens when he does. Raif is also tall enough to play some notes on the piano and drags around the makeshift firepoker we have. His favorite surface to drag the firepoker seems to be the kitchen tile. His dancing has advanced to picking up his feet now instead of just bouncing and he takes the chance to dance whenever he can.
Angela has painted some of the laundry room a tan/purple shade and is looking to adds some trim and finishing touches. We are also looking at painting and adding trim to the downstairs bathroom in order to finish it.
Alma and Misty went to church with us today and we have told Quincy that he has until Wendesday to find another place to stay. All in all life is moving, on and we are working in keeping it in the middle 'best we can. Love ya all and we hope that all is well with you.
