It's been a long time since I have blogged, if you haven't noticed. ;)
The remainder of summer flew by as quickly as only summer can. We continued to have a blast doing all the things you do in the summer... swimming, state fair-ing, camping, being hot... etc. I have a lot of pictures but haven't even put them on my computer!! Such is the state of busyness we have been in.
And now it's fall, and all is still well. Today is about 55, cloudy, and breezy... I love fall, it's probably my favorite season. And Ryan's too... but for different reasons. :) He's happy to be back hunting, and although sometimes I miss him during this time of year, I do enjoy my quiet time at home too.
The kids are great- Olivia started her second year of preschool. This year she is going to Cambridge Christian School for MWF AM preschool, so she can also stay for childcare on the days that I am working. It is going great, and she seems to really enjoy it. And just for kicks, she stuck a rock in another little girl's nose on the first day of preschool. Awesome choice for the first day. :) I sure wish I could have been a fly in the sandbox to hear the conversation leading up to that one!
Aidan is also doing great- he has grown an inch since July! He's in a big boy bed and loving it. Each time we meet a new milestone with Aidan, or make it through another transition, I am reminded back to when we were parenting the first time with Olivia and how worked up I got with each transition or change. :) Who knows how many blog posts there were about Olivia's transition to the big girl bed!!! Ah, parenting.
I have been working extra hours for the past two months, while helping cover for a coworker who is on maternity leave. (Hence some of the extra busyness!) I am SO looking forward to her return to work in just 4 weeks. When she returns I will be cutting back on some of my time at work to just 2 long days on Monday & Tuesday, instead of Monday, Tuesday, and a short day on Wednesay. I technically won't lose any hours a week, but will save some money on daycare. Fantastic! Oh- and of course the added benefit of being home with the kiddos more. :)
Hope to get pictures updated soon! Hope you are still reading my blog even though I've neglected you!!
