This summer is coming to a close and we are looking forward to the fall and cooling weather.
I have been lucky to have less classes this summer (since I am a tutor, I can actually be busier in the summer) and thus I have started making all sorts of plans again.
Jo has been training a lot by doing Tai Chi in the mornings and now that she just got a new bike, is primed for more morning exercise as well. I shudder at the thought, but as long as she is happy! She is also getting antsy in terms of finding a 'real' job other than a housewife (the pay is terrible) so she has been scouting around a bit. If anything comes up will be partly luck and partly connections since she is trying to bypass the normal 'basic' job type scenario. Wish her luck (I will be happy to see her get out of the house!)
Sage is growing up quick and cute as ever. His terrible two-ness never was but he is showing signs of 'throttle-em threes' as my sister likes to point out. However, those are rare occasions and mostly he is a great kid.
He is speaking more now and with more words per utterance, yet still prefers to use his own pronunciation and words: "Shu Shu" is still Sage (I think from my common calling him 'Super'), "Paco" is now Gramma and Grampa combined I guess and we have no idea where that came about, and a whole host of other words that we would have to translate for others. It is fun to watch this unfold. I graduated as a linguist (as well as Chinese major) and learning how he absorbs this is really fascinating.
Anyway, let's get to the pics!
Just some smiles
Bubba' Time!
In the Science Museum (we will be going here a lot more!)
Super Bubble!
Their dino exhibit is actually really cool. The video is quite nice.
This one left Sage scared since every so often, they would move and hiss loudly
This is Jo's new toy. It will be awhile before I join her....
More smiles
Gotta have a 'thinking' one - after all he is Sage....
Hope all is well!
