iPhoto
If any of you out there have any techie friends, ask them this question. iPhoto has been frozen on my powerbook for the last three days. It just keeps "thinking and thinking" and won't close or anything. I even tried letting the computer run out of battery and shut down and when I plugged it back in, iPhoto was still running. I'm beginning to think it's possessed.

Micah and the 2s
Ahhh the trying 2s. We love this stage. Can't wait for Isaiah to get there. Micah is trying in a whole new way though. Elijah threw tantrums, screamed and cried occasionally. Micah is the strong silent type. He has his moments of outburst, but usually, his independence shows up in a stoic determination to do what he wants regardless of any discipline. He may not scream or cry, but he'll just continue doing his own thing.... and for a MUCH longer period of time than Elijah used to. The other day I warned him that if he pushed Elijah again, he would go to time out. He promptly looked at me, turned and ran down the hall TO his room, closed himself in an stayed there for twice the length of a normal time-out. The message- "What's time-out to me Mommy? I have all day. Go ahead." His personality just requires a new kind of patience. A kind of calm, long-suffering, I'm-determined-to-outlast-you patience as opposed to the your-screaming-and-kicking-isn't-going-to-get-to-me patience we had to develop with Elijah. Parenting certainly develops well-roundedness.

Isaiah has three 1/2 teeth now. The second top tooth is being stubborn and driving him nuts. He chews on everything including his brothers when he gets the chance. Micah just still isn't sure that he likes Isaiah much (understandable when Isaiah will chew on his leg if Micah lets him get close enough), but Elijah protects him diligently. Micah talks constantly and we don't understand much of it, but he can clearly say, "No Isaiah, mine."
Graduation
Yeah! How many kids get to see their dad graduate from college. I wonder if you'll remember this one Elijah? It was worth the wait.
