We have moved—to a new site, that is. The new blog gives us more options than CaringBridge. While we will continue to post to the old site, we plan to attempt (eventually) to settle into the new one.
Zane is doing well. Despite the changes in nutrition that have been forced upon us, he continues to eat orally every day. He loves it, so I don’t understand why anyone would want to take that away from him. I tried mixing a “big boy” vitamin (crushed) into his meal, but he cannot be fooled. He absolutely detests the taste of it. Instead, we have ordered a more complete liquid vitamin online, which should be here in a few days. We can send that one through his tube, and he’ll be none the wiser. In the meantime, I am not forcing him to suffer with the crushed tablets. I’m using the infant vitamins until the new ones arrive.
It seems as though I can never not be busy. In addition to my column, I am also watching two kids every Monday and Wednesday until school starts in mid-August. It is a lot of work! I feel as though I already have my hands full with the boys. Starting next month, I start my position as Regional Director for Destination Imagination. Jeff and I were forced into taking over the job last season when the Regional Director quit without notice. I am on my own this year (i.e., without Jeff), so I am sure it will prove to be a busy eight months. I am not exactly complaining because I feel fortunate to have a job, especially one that I can do primarily from home. However, I am trying to find time for new writing and for submitting my old writing to publishers. This isn’t working out too well for me. But I occasionally manage to squeeze it into the small blocks of time I am able to find (usually after 10:30 at night).
We hope everyone has a nice upcoming weekend. We are going to make one final attempt to camp as a family. We’re headed to Telluride. I have been wanting to go there all summer. When Justin was a baby, we took him off-trail near Lizard Head pass. It is pretty remote and absolutely beautiful there. We’ll let you know how it goes and hopefully return with some happy pictures.
