Well, we'll see if I actually keep this up or not - it wasn't really that difficult to e-mail everybody, but I feel like the only kid in school without a blog. I'm starting to feel out-dated at twenty-three! I figured I'd better get with the program before I start referring to people as 'young punks'. I'll start with my favorite pix from the last month, then try to update regularly.

Kirsi is doing very well. She sleeps through the night, which is a major blessing for Chris and I. She's six and a half weeks old now, but has only gained about a pound over her birth weight. That bothers me a bit, but she's so healthy and active and she eats plenty, so I'm not too worried yet. I keep telling her that plump is beautiful :).
Do as I say, not as I do... Everything was fine at my check-up, so exercise ho! Looking forward to loosing those last few pregnancy pounds and beyond. And now I can ride my horse for a while. I'm going to have to get rid of him this summer though. I had hoped to take him to Oregon with me, but our financial situation right now just doesn't have room for feeding a horse. This is probably for the best, but of course I'm having a hard time feeling that right now. I'm trying to find him a 4-H family where he'll be well taken care of.
Breastfeeding is going really well - I just hope there aren't any more rounds of mastitis waiting in the shadows. Kirsi is having her six-week growth spurt, so I feel like all I do is nurse - which is fine by me, as long as she keeps sleeping through the night.
Chris is super-busy now after a long stretch of no work at all, and has been getting up at five or six in the morning to head to work. He bares his teeth in what may be a smile when I tell him that it's a good thing he has so much to do.
Jimmy is finally warming up to his sister. He helps to entertain her, and loves to keep a running tab on how many times she's farted. He was sitting with us the other day and told me, "She has the most beautiful eyelashes..." So I think he'll be okay. He's getting very excited about school, which starts on August 31st. He's registered at Evergreen Elementary, so long as we don't move this summer.
No real news on the move to Oregon - our neighbors are sure they want to buy the place, but not sure if they can come up with a down payment. They've mentioned renting it so that we can move, and then buying it later, but that seems pretty risky. It might be worth the risk, though, if Chris gets the job he wants down there. So we're in the same old spot we've been for months - when, how? In the meantime we're enjoying what may be our last Idaho summer, which has been fraught with thunderstorms and very beautiful.
