Corn on the Cob

I have concluded, if Hansel and Gretel had brought Gage along, they would not have been lost. He spits up soo much! I can't believe he is such a big boy with him spitting up all the time!
Avi told me, "I want to potty train", and put on a pair of underwear. We tried sitting on the toilet several times, but when it came time for her to actually go, it was in her pants... we tried two days, but I don't think we are ready- when she, and Gage are a bit older, and hopefully I have more patients.
Gage ate corn on the cob! I gave Avi a piece for lunch, and she only took a few bites, so I let Gage suck on it. To my surprise, his little gummy strong jaw chomped down and he got corn! He was loving it!! Avi would take bites from the opposite side, they thought it was so fun.
They also love to hold hands, play "growly bear", play ball- Avi grabs and runs while I hold Gage and swing him kicking the ball. They also like to ride Mommy and Daddy "car", sitting on our stomach- or any other fun mom or dad "jungle gym" play. They both LOVED to be tickled.
I have been enjoying the produce from the garden- I made zucchini lasagna, squash and chicken enchiladas, squash fajitas, squash casserole, corn on the cob, black berry pancakes, stuffed zucchini, great plums, and Avi loves the "baby matoes".  
We went to Logan again for a follow up appointment for Gunnar. We had a long wait, thankfully they had an interesting waiting room. We stopped by the Pepperidge Farm outlet- I love their "melt" cookies...I ate almost a whole package in two days!! Yes, I had a little tummy ache (they were not the only cookies I ate).
Avi loves her Duplos. When she plays downstairs, they are her toy of choice. It is so fun to see her put them together in new creations. She only has one princess set. I am excited for Christmas to give her more sets... Gunnar pulled out a Lego set and put it together, that is upstairs, I came up looking for her and called to her. She responded, "I playing Legos"- it was sooo cute. She had his set out, so I had the opportunity of putting it back together, a few days in a row.
Lilly was over. They had so much fun together!! I love to see Avi laugh so much. They got soaked twice with hose, had more fun on the swings than I knew possible, colored, made messes, danced... Last night we played "Duck Duck Goose"Avi just does not get the rules. It was a riot!
I am proud of Gunnar working so hard. He is doing pretty well in his classes, hoping to improve as he is getting the feel for them. I miss him, but am thankful for what he is doing.
I was able to go to the General Relief Society conference tonight. It was so enriching. There was a great focus on the atonement of the Savior. I am so grateful for the great sacrifice of our Redeemer. I am in such need of His help. I have felt humbled as I am so faulted. The Lord is so good, kind, and patient. I was really struck by one sister's story of finding herself not physically prepared to help others, and she hoped never to be found spiritually unable to help others.
I feel I have so much to put in order, to strengthen so I can really get out and serve.
