Well, I don't really have anything to say
So I will just babble.
Eleonora (It is pronounced Elenore and I WILL get the spelling right eventually) is terrific. She was so worried that Seth wouldn't like her that it made her seem very quiet and serious. She came over last Saturday with her boyfriend and spent an hour with us just chatting. Her boyfriend's name is Ansel and he works for the Navy grocery store actually and so speaks very nice English. Seth fell in love. By the end of the hour, Seth leaned over and gave Eleonora a kiss. The look on her face was priceless. She was so excited.
She worked Tuesday and Wednesday and seemed like a different person when I came home. Now she is happy and chatty. The boys really like her. I hope this will be a longterm relationship.
We discovered, on our nightly walk, that the neighborhood outdoor roller hockey rink makes a faboo playpen. We can let Jax run free. We also discovered that Jax could probably get hired as a dog soccer player. He actually runs the ball (very quickly) with his nose and shoulder. He feints and dodges (and sometimes cheats by nipping at our shoes). The other thing that has happened is that *I* am being forced to play baseball. That's right boys and girls. The girl who was picked last or not at all has to now step up to the plate and teach Jake how to pitch and catch. We have not broken out the bat yet but now have gloves for each of us. We invented a game tonite that hopefully will teach Jake how to stop ground balls. One boy stands at each end of the hockey rink and throws the ball as hard as possible. The other boy has to stop it before it hits the wall or a point is scored. A good time was had by all.
Let's see, what else? Jake should get his cast off next week. I have to make an appointment to get it re-xrayed. School is out next week as well. Vacation plans are being procrastinated on but I am trying to decide between Spain and Crete. Both places are easy to get in and out of by military (read: nearly free) flight and both have awesome beaches.

Why is his cast coming off so quick? I thought he would be most of the summer with it?

Apparently buckle fractures heal fairly fast and usually are only casted for three weeks or so. They re-xray at the two week mark or so to check. Jake has abused his arm so much that I am afraid to see what it is like. He is not having very much pain so I take that as a good sign. He hasn't asked for Motrin in over a week now.
