I write to you with shocking news. As I type, at 9 in the morning, Mike is SITTING ON THE COUCH!!! He is not at work on a Wednesday! I know, it is crazy, but after the killer hours and working all day Saturday, his boss decided they all needed a day off. Not only that, but he is going to have Saturday AND Labor Day off, too. We are pretty happy about that. We are going to go to the Folsom Prison gift shop and historic museum today. I'll let you know how that is.
It has been a nice week. Jens and I are feeling settled back in, although Jens still isn't back to his regular schedule. I am afraid that the days of two naps is coming to a close. Yesterday he took one marathon nap and that was that. In other Jens news, he can now climb up on our couch. He takes great delight in climbing up and sitting down, lounging. He usually has to stand up and move every ten seconds, but we are working on not walking on the couch. He is also enjoying playing with laundry hampers.
He got inside of the big cloth one that Peter gave us for Christmas and greatly enjoyed rolling around on the floor. 
He thought he was so funny. It is amazing to watch him--he is learning language so fast right now. He is understandingmore and more and is trying to imitate more and more. Yesterday he spent the whole day saying "uh oh" about EVERYTHING.
He and I went to Activity Day on Friday. He was very helpful to the girls as they worked on making blankets for an orphanage in Russia. We had the sister missionaries over for dinner Monday, and they are both really nice. Yesterday we went to the library and Sutter St. Jens and I shared a milk shake, which he greatly enjoyed. (By shared, I mean I drank almost all of it and dribbled a few mouthfuls into Jens's mouth).
Jens also got to open his birthday presents from Grandma and Grandpa. Tapes and music for his new tape player! Yay!
We are excited about this week--Jens and I are going to Modesto tomorrow to see Kristin Johnson and on Sunday we are going to the Sacramento temple dedication. Sunday night we are going to go camping, we hope. We are sort of dreading that, what with our huge new tent and our kid who has never been camping. Hopefully it will be fun.
