June 1981

6/3/1981: Stephen gave his 8th pint of blood today. He is now a member of the gallon club.
6/4/1981: Michael is learning how to climb. He pulled the cushion off the love seat and crawled up. He really enjoyed playing with all the trash under the cushions. From there he was also able to reach everything on the top of the love seat. Now where do I keep things?
6/5/1981: Prayer Breakfast
Michael stood up on his own today. He was standing in his crib when he let go. He grinned from ear to ear!
6/6/1981: Softball 11:00 O.T.
Stephen got his first hit of the softball season. Unfortunately it didn't help much. The team still has not won a game.
6/8/1981: Mountview finally won a softball game! They beat St. Marks 10-6. They've got a streak going!
6/10/1981: Stephen left for an interview at CSU this morning. He was fairly nervous about it but I'm sure he'll do fine. I just hope I can survive until he gets home Friday.
6/12/1981: Peter started clapping his hands today. He certainly is thrilled about it. He gets the biggest smile on his face every time he claps.
Stephen got home this afternoon!
6/20/1981: Merry's wedding was today. It was beautiful. It was all I could do to keep from crying.
6/21/1981: Michael has learned how to put the rings back on the rock-a-stack. Each day the boys develop just a little bit more
6/24/1981: We started the first leg of our trip to Colorado today. I am very pleased with how well the boys are traveling. As a treat, Dad and I took them swimming in the hotel pool tonight
6/25/1981: Peter's fourth tooth came through today. It has been just below the surface for a couple of months now.
6/26/1981: We finally made it to Mom and Dad's. I don't think the boys or I ever want to get into a car again. The boys were really wonderful for the entire trip.
6/28/1981: The boys are eating like little pigs. I don't know where they put it all! If they keep eating like this they're soon going to be too big for me to carry.
6/29/1981: Michael tried to climb over the gate today. I think he might have succeeded if Cindy hadn't been there to hold him back
