Long time...no post

Sorry it has been a while since I have kept everyone updated on what has been going on here on Guam with the Ragle family. We have been trying to keep busy and do things, but then again we each keep getting struck with the Guam Crud one at a time. I think we have all been sick about 50% of the time we have been out here. Harley, Lee and I have been sick this week with bad colds. I have had the worst sore throat and ear aches I have ever had. Lee has a cough and runny nose and Harley has a bad sore throat also. Lee started his real Pre-school this Wednesday and he loves it. We thought he had to wear uniforms so we sent him in it the first day but it turned out that preschoolers don't have to wear uniforms, but he did look so darn cute. I think one of the reasons may be because of the pants, the buttons and zippers are still kind of hard for most of the kids to do on their own when they go to the bathroom. He is so happy because they call him Lee there, so I let the other place he goes to in the morning know this today so from now on they will also be calling him Lee. This makes me so happy!! It didn't bother me a whole lot that they insisted on calling him Harley but Lee didn't like it at all. Easton is doing well and meeting a lot of milestones. He is beginning to talk. He said his first word the other day and it was "dada" which made Harley very proud. I am okay with it because Lee said mama first. He also says "lala" which I think he is trying to say mama, or I may just think that because that is what I really want him to be saying. This boy also sings all the time, he is constantly humming a little tune of his own. I think he may be a bigger chatterbox than Lee is and I never thought that could be possible. He also says "hi" every once in a while when I say it a million times to him and it sounds really cute when he says it. Lee started talking at 8 months also. Easton is very easy going but very adament when he wants something he will let you know. He is rolling and army crawling everywhere and very quickly. I know he will be crawling very soon but I am not in a hurry for it because I think he will be into everything. He already is into everything he can get those little hands on. He has an obsession with shoes if they are out he is after them and he gets so mad when I take them away from him. Forget toys I guess I should just buy him a cheap pair of shoes to play with and chew on, he would be perfectly happy. Harley has started a Chemistry class and also starting Scuba diving classes. Once he is done with his scuba diving lessons I am going to take lessons. I need to learn to swim a little better at least so I can handle myself a little better in the ocean if I had to. We went bowling last week and Lee loves it. He has been bowling quite a few times. He actually beat me on our second game. I won the first gam out of all of us and Harley won the second one. We had a busy weekend. We had two BBQ's that we went to and they were a lot of fun. The first one had a pool and Lee was in it and the hot tub the whole time he didn't even have time to come out to eat. That boy loves the water. Harley has to work all of this weekend so no big plans for us especially since Lee and I are under the weather. I will try to start keeping up with the blogs more like I did before, sorry Larry.
