Greetings! It has been awhile (as usual). I can hardly believe that there are only 9 days left in September. Where did that month go? Work has been so busy for me. It can be a blessing an a curse. I like being busy, but the stress level goes up a bit.

The kids are growing so much. Leah got her first tooth on my birthday. The second one followed a few days later. All we can say is it was about time! She still isn't crawling really, but she is super close. Haven't we been saying that forever?

Ian learned how to write his name this week. He is so proud. He is also spending most days in underwear. He is working hard and avoiding accidents, but we still average 1 a day or so. He starts school next Thursday and gym class the following week. It is looking like October will be busy for everyone!

Back from the beach house! It was such a great 2 weeks. Yes, I had to work 4 days in there, but I still have a tan. Thanks to everyone who visited and made it such a fun time. I'll have some pictures soon.

Ian is a little bit sick. He has had a fever for 2 days and threw up yesterday morning. Too much fun for him I guess. Leah still isn't crawling, but she is super close. She also has a nice bump where I think her first tooth will be coming in. Owen (Don's cousin's baby) is only 4 months and already has a tooth!

Today is Shane's first birthday. Happy Birthday Shane! I'm bummed that we won't be able to celebrate with Shane and Paige this weekend. I got Don tickets to Jimmy Buffett for his birthday and the concert is Saturday.

Ian starts pre-school on the 27th. We need to talk to his teacher because the going on the potty thing isn't happening. He will go, but only if we bring him. I guess we have a few more weeks and who knows, he might turn a corner? I think he will start gym class soon too. It really is back to school time.
