Yup. It's been quiet here. I know. :) We've just been hanging out...watching Olympic trials, enjoying the summer, savoring sitting at home. Some specifics (many of which have already been shared over on Facebook but I'll repeat them for the sake of recording it)...

Last weekend, Micah decided to make donuts with his deep fryer:

He added chocolate frosting, too! (Um, these did not last long at all, and I had to go for an extra run the next morning to ease my conscience, lol.) 

He's also made baked Denver omelettes and chicken parmesan in the past week-ish. Serious yum!

Noah's been busy still using his 3D printer...printing custom trays for HeroClix nights (he's been getting requests from other players and has sold a number of them) and working on designing some technical stuff with Nathan.

Nathan, incidentally, released the first launch of his new start up yesterday. It's a slow launch but it's definite progress and we're pretty excited. Nathan's also really happy that he got to sleep more than a few hours last night. ;) 

Asher's keeping busy with gymnastics and karate. And I've decided he's in a weird "in between" stage. He's smack dab in between kid and adult sizes for shirts and shoes. (Argh!! Especially the shoes...why the heck don't more stores carry the top end of the kid sizes and the bottom end of the men's sizes?! So frustrating! I had this with Noah also and no one has corrected it yet, lol. Suppose they'll get it fixed by the time Micah gets there?)

And he's in between reading lists...as in, his reading level is definitely high school or higher but his interests are definitely middle school or lower. (And don't even get me started on how disproportionate reading lists are for teens...sooo many more books geared toward girls than boys!) Many thanks to all those who gave suggestions over on Facebook! I've compiled a list that will hopefully at least get us till Christmas. :) 

As for me...I've just been lying low (laying low? I can never get those right, lol) and enjoying the time with my boys. We've done some reading aloud together and I'm starting to think about and plan for next school year. 

So that's what's been going on here. All good. :)
