Richardson Report

Brynne shared some of the photos that she took at the Family Fun center. Waiting to start John gearing up to go Josh taking Justin for a spin Natty enjoying "Cactus Jack's Playhouse" Brynne and "tall Nat"  Faith is five months old now!  She's turned into such a darling, perfect baby in the past month.  She falls asleep on her own - fingers happily stuffed into her mouth, and is pretty regular about her naps.  She has slept all night TWICE in a row this week and even when she does wake up, it's for a brief feeding and diaper change and then back down she goes!  Otherwise, bedtime sleep is usually a lovely 12 hours long! She sleeps a LOT.  Like, I looked up normal sleep for five month olds and she sleeps a lot more.   But she seems to need it.  She wakes up super happy and plays with us for two hours, and then back down she goes.  She is going to bed between 6-8pm, which is pretty dependent on how her naps go....

Hannah came home a day early, so she actually beat us back to Fort Bragg.  Why early? Nicaragua was having earthquakes...repeatedly.  They had a volcano threatening to erupt.  Hannah was safe where she was, but all the action was happening up near the airport and her teacher was nervous that they would get trapped in Nicaragua. But in spite of the craziness that the earthquakes brought (apparently the country was in full-blown panic mode), she had a WONDERFUL time. I'm including a smattering of her photos.  Just a few out of the 575 that she took. Teenage girls are weird sometimes.

Logan's birthday was spread out over several celebrations, so I haven't gotten around to writing about it. On his actual birthday he requested pizza and root beer floats. The following week in Grants Pass we took our family and Jenny's family to the Central Point Family Fun Center.  The kids spent about two hours riding go-carts and they all had a fantastic time.  No photos because I didn't have my camera (it went to Nicaragua).  I'll have to see if Brynne has some.

Wearing a new dress with lots of sparkly sequins Kenna tells me excitedly: "I feel like I'm Sharpay because she dresses SO pretty and she wears clothes just like this!" ********************* Driving down the road the other day I passed someone with a burn pile cooking away.  Kenna had lots of questions about why there was a fire by the side of the road.  After explaining carefully that it was useful for when you had a lot of yard waste, she sat quietly thinking for a minute.  Then she piped up and said, "well, what I would recommend is they should use their big garbage can and first put the big pieces in and stack them so that they have room for the little pieces". Is that what you recommend? ********************* We had a great week in Oregon.  Loved the weather.  Especially loved seeing people I love.  Faith did awesome on the road.  She slept when I needed her to sleep and the only crying spell was the final 15 minutes into Grants Pass on...
