This week has been the regular week except for the kids' visitors and Kayli's milestone. Not that we mind regularity, though, because that means nothing really bad has happened either.
Monday I put Kayli down for her tummy time on the blanket and she surprised me once again. She'd been working on grabbing toys and directing them where she wants them to go. She still struggles with the toys but she did manage to figure out the binky. I looked over a few minutes later and there she was happily sucking on her binky. She'd finally figured out how to grab it and stuff it in her mouth. I watched her do it a couple of times for entertainment as she attacked it with her mouth trying to get it in. Then a little bit later she fell asleep with it. She seems to learn something new everyday.
Tuesday we had the regular hectic schedule with a new twist. Grandma Dawn came up to run an errand and picked up Karina on her way to come stay the night. Karina was SO excited to go. As soon as she woke up she packed her bag, sleeping bag and all. Then I got to hear all day, "When is Grandma Dawn going to get here?"
After they left we dropped Braden off at flag football practice. His last one - hurray! His last game is tonight. We'll have a little break from sports with him until basketball starts up next month.
After we dropped him off, Tyler and I headed for his soccer game. Tyler has definitely improved this year and it's great to see. He's been easily distracted in the past so it's fun to see him stay on the field for the games this year and actually get into the game a little bit. His coach does comment about how they have two goalies, though, as Tyler likes to play back there even when he's not supposed to.
Unfortunately the boys' schedules overlap this year so I've only been to one of Tyler's games when Barry swapped for the night. Braden has to be picked up from flag football and taken to scouts during the middle of the game. All the running around makes for a long evening for Kayli and Karina.
Wednesday the excitement started to pick up as Angela, Seth and Mason came to stay through Friday. From the time school was out until they arrived I got to hear a new version of the question of the week. "When are the Hatch's going to get here?", was the main refrain for the day.
Happily they have arrived and everyone is enjoying themselves so far. Later tonight we are all going potato gleaning (Seth swears he has never been) and also taking some other friends. We're all looking forward to homemade french fries after that. I also did freezer peaches on Wednesday so between that and the potatoes we'll have so nice additions to our food storage.
So our week has been pretty regular but good with fun visitors thrown in. We hope everyone else's has, too.
