Happy Summer!

With summer officially beginning, I thought I'd update everyone on the Anderson clan's recent activities.

Ervin is enjoying the new world of solid foods. His favorites seem to be processed pears and yummy graham crackers. Lizzy was kind enough to share an Oreo cookie with him the other day, which he also enjoyed. Ervin is also exploring his new found mobility, to everyone's delight. He army crawls all over the house and is now able to bring himself back up to a sitting position. Another new discovery is that of his pointer finger. He loves to point at things, especially pictures on the walls. He also brings joy to mommy and daddy's hearts by reaching for them when he wants to be held.

Lizzy has just finished her second week of dance class, with one week to go. It's been interesting to see her dance with other 3 and 4 year old girls, all looking alike with blonde hair and ballet pink leotards and skirts. Lizzy has enjoyed the class but I think she prefers to dance on her own as opposed to dancing in a group. She is easily distracted... :)

Daddy is busy as ever at work. He's also getting ready to return to BYU to continue his education. He has also been busy with his new calling in the ward. He and I teach a primary class of 8-year-olds. We're excited to have a calling together. Our first week was a little shaky but after our second week, we feel more confident.

Mommy has delved into novels. With all kinds of talk about the Twilight series, I've hungrily read them and joined the other fans eagerly awaiting the final installment, Breaking Dawn. Until then, I'm reading all kinds of books to keep myself occupied during the long wait. Reading has also been giving me an "escape" from the daily mommy tasks asked of me, whenever I get a minute to myself, that is.

All in all, we seemed to be doing fairly well. We'll keep you updated as time goes on.
