As I sit here in the mid-afternoon, the light is a funny color. Everything's sort of a yellowy-orange. It looks like there's a ton of smoke in the air, and sure enough, it seems a bunch of forest fires are (is a bunch "is" or "are"?) causing evacuations in Nephi Canyon, among other places (including our campground from the family reunion two weeks ago).

Gideon's rolling around on the floor, trying desperately to turn over so he can gnaw (or, more accurately, slobber) all over the foot of the armchair. His feet braces make it darn hard to roll over, though, so now he's devouring my pink-checked rattle doll. Or making that "bub-bub-bub" noise by running his fingers over his lips. Tomorrow is clinic, so it should be fun to show off how big he is...and find out how much longer he gets to wear the braces full time.

I'm amused that none of us have the same action hero. Family reunions could be really fun, with Samuel and I duking it out with broadswords, LaDale slinging webs around, and Jenafer sneaking out to practice her whip and saying "X never, ever marks the spot".
