Troublefinder

Well, its official. Des has gone from "trying to crawl" to trouble finder. He's been getting up on all fours, etc, for a few weeks now but last Monday he just starting doing it, crawling. And each day he got progressively better and faster until yesterday (at Grandma and Grandpa's house) he found the lamp, the lamp cord, one laptop, two laptop cords, a plant, the door shade, the stairs (going down) and the drawer on the entertainment center - which ended up attacking him (long story). So we are in full "watch baby" mode! He also started dancing. One of Grandma's books has a little music button on the last page and when you push it Des starts to bounce back and forth, really cute! =)

Marc's parents came down last weekend to attend Marc's recital (which went off *very* well). We made pulled BBQ chicken sandwiches and fudgesicles! mmmmm Summer favorites. =) They trained Des hard for crawling but, of course, he decides to do it when nobody is cheering him on! =) He is his own self. =)

We are currently in Montana. We are getting together with the old, old gang tonight. When I say old, old I mean two gangs ago, not elderly. See, now that we live in Wyoming, the Iowa gang is the old gang which makes the MT gang the old, old gang - get it? Anyway, we're looking forward to catching up with everyone. =) And, of course, showing off our son.

Marc is taking music clinics yesterday and today. I went to a music clinic last night for 2 and a half hours and it was fun - it was for church choir music so basically you just sing all this music as an introduction to what is available to buy. A group from our WY church went and we all had a good time just singing.

So, my apologies, but no pictures this week. Marc has been working with the laptop and to spare you the details, I have to wait to download my pics from my camera, but he's almost done so hopefully soon I'll be able to post some new pics and maybe a crawling video. =)
