Holy cow- the weeks are just floating together at this point.
The fact alone that I have not had time for mindless crafting, playing with pictures, or EVEN watching Live with Kelly ( and Michael now ) should prove how overly occupied we have been.
We have made it through a few sad days and have nothing but GREAT things to look forward to in the next two months.
What to forget:
1. A rough night last weekend which only allowed for a small window of sadness. The power of prayer mixed with instant social networking is pretty amazing. Thanks friends.
2. Monday's 18 mile run. Goodness.That one more mile sure kicked my A--. If it wasn't for ibuprofen and a good ice bath, I'm pretty sure I would have spent the day as a hotwheels race track while laying on the couch snuggling with Kaners ( this did happen but luckily it was brief)
3. A terrible Football Sunday.
4. Lola chewing 1 too many helicopters AND the last of our favorite sippy cups. Her "relocation" bio will be posted here shortly..
5. THE HEAT. Yes the mornings are a bit more manageable, but the fact that we still have days over 100 and it is almost October is just not right. Remembering everyday why I was so miserable living here for 4 years!
What to remember:
1. A GREAT Sunday at Church. Having branched out of my comfort zone of the familiar Catholic church, I really am enjoying the service we have been attending with my Grandparents here. The people are friendly, the pastor is awesome, and last Sunday BOTH boys had a cry free sunday school which is always a joy.
2. KANERS got a tooth! FINALLY. I was starting to think we would get to see that adorable gummy smile until his first birthday, but without any fuss ( as usual ) 2 little white nubs have finally broke through . I hate to compare.. but why didn't his older brother catch this whole pain tolerance gene?
3. Auntie Candace came over for dinner and some play time this week! She left us dying in laughter, as always, which is a medicine that really can heal anything. Having her in our kids' life means so much not only because she is a wonderful person but because she was been a part of OUR life from our first go at dating, to our SECOND time dating, our marriage, and everything in between. Always a blast with her.
4. Learning from Youtube how to cut toddler boys' hair semi-succesfully.
5. Playing at Pump-it-up for the first time. We had a blast playing in all of the bounce houses and slides with some friends. Mr. Pants became brave enough to climb up the tallest slide by himself and, as always, flew right down on his belly. Even Kaners got to bounce around with the big kids a little bit!
What to look forward to :
OCTOBER!!!
- Finishing up the last few miles of Marathon training... ready to hit that big 2-0
-A REALLY exciting 2 day getaway
-Aunt Milania coming to visit and play with us
- NAU homecoming WOOOO HERE WE GOOOO JAACCKS
-Halloween and trick-or-treating. First for Kaners and First time for Steven actually WALKING up to the door ( it's hard to believe last year he was still crawling)
- Some sub 100 degree days, hopefully.
If it is possible, November will be EVEN better! Happy happy happy days ahead <3
Missing Daddy like always, more and more each day. Without him nothing worth anything would be possible. Without his strength and commitment to not only our family but also our country, none of us would have the freedom to enjoy life as we do. It's cheesy I know, but I am the luckiest WIF there is.
Have a great weekend friends! Here is to pumpkin flavored everything,better football games, and some real refs ;)
