So it has been a long time since we posted something here. Sorry about the delay, I am sure you have all been dying to know what is going on in Cleveland since it is so exciting here! Well, our life is fun, eventful. Hayden makes most things fun and some things completly impossible. He is really starting to talk and says all sorts of things including "thank you," "cheese," "baseball," "more," "snack," "teeth" and he even says "I love you" although you have to be listening close to know that is what he said. Tom is most proud of the fact that everytime we enter the living room he runs for the the X-box controllers and says "box." I tried putting him to bed last night while Tom was playing X-box and he just kept crying and pointing at his bedroom door saying "daddy box." Incidentally Tom is on X-box number 2 since he wore out the first one and it broke.
Hayden is learning how to say his prayers at night but he only lasts about 8 seconds before he gets up and runs around. He has apparently taken a liking to the show "Dora the Explorer" because he runs around singing "back pack, back pack, yea!" He has learned how to swing a baseball bat and he throws incredibly well so he is always impressing everyone at Tom's softball games.
Tom starts school again tomorrow, he's anxious to get started so he can get it over with. It's been a lot of fun having him home for the last month. We got season passes to the local amusement park and we have spent a lot of time there. We have been to the zoo and the pool a few times as well as several Indians games. It's been a very full summer. We had a great new couple move in upstairs from us, they have a 7 month old and she stays home during the day which is great for me. In addition, we had a new LDS couple move in across the street and we are fast becoming to friends. To make things even better some of our friends from our ward in Provo just moved out here for him to attend medical school and they live nearby us, it's great to have them here. I am excited to think that this year will be even better than last year because of all our new friends. This website is a great idea, it's so fun to hear about everyone. We'll talk to you all later!
