There are a lot of good things happening out here right now!
Most importantly, my sister, Kari, is getting married on Friday in the LA Temple! She has always dreamt of a 10-layer cake and so I've been making loads of fondant and buttercream icing, which takes up all my free time.
Apart from that I'm working on: 1. packing organization (I threw out 4 boxes of 'stuff' on Saturday!), 2. moving van plans (can we trust someone to drive our 'stuff' to Colorado safely or drive our own things and our car?), 3. insanely missing Paul (video chatting twice a day just isn't enough. He may have to finish writing here and go back again for a few days to defend it much later), 4. caring for Alec (not that this is bad, but he is a VERY active & curious little boy), 5. the dogs (my family has left for California to go to a Dodgers game and California Adventure before the wedding, leaving me in charge of 7 dogs), and 6. refugee work (gathering donations & home visits). I do prefer to stay busy, so I would definitely choose all the commotion over sitting around and missing Paul.
In the meantime, here are some cute shots:
Here he is wearing grandpa's sunglasses:
Last Sunday we went to celebrate my Uncle's birthday and Alec (as usual) wanted to go out back and play with the 3 boxers they have. The dogs were very loving. If Paul would let me have a third dog I would steal Tank, their male boxer. He's so great with Alec and stands over to 'protect' him from the other dogs...who also want a turn licking Alec...

Here's Alec playing with his Uncle Christopher. My brother just adores Alec and Alec loves it when he comes over, because he'll play with him! Here he is carrying him around in nana and grandpa's 'garment hamper', then racing about in his car:
Here he is playing 'prison guard'. For some reason Alec thinks this is hilarious:
Uncle Kevie also loves playing with him and lately they've been practicing on recorders.
This past Friday night was Kari's bachelorette party. We went to Joleen's home (our sister-in-law) to watch a movie and eat pizza. Alec really liked the pizza idea:
