Just a list.

1) Life is getting a little bit better.  I can’t say that I’m 100% back to normal, but “we are back into our groove”.

2) The god forsaken heat is gone.  I’m not too sure that it won’t come back, but damn this little touch of fall sure does feel good.  The high today didn’t get above 75, I love this type of weather.  I wish it didn’t get above or below this – ever.

3) AJ might just about be ready for potty training.  We aren’t pushing him… but he’s done both into the old throne, which makes us think he might be ready.  I don’t know though, he still goes off and hides behind a chair every time he needs to go #2.

4) We really need a family vacation.  I told Chris that before the year was out he needed to get something planned, because we earned a family vacation after the year that we have had.  So, I’m not sure where we we are going to go, but it needed to be warm and it needed to have a beach, because AJ needed to witness an ocean.

5) AJ is going to see his first parade on Saturday and I think he is going to love it.  I took him to the farmers market this past Saturday and there was a man playing a saxophone and he really couldn’t take his eye off the man, so I know he is going to love the parade.  After that, we are going to the carnival.  Super fun family day!

6) AJ and I made an awesome peach pie with the fresh peaches that we purchased from the farmers market.  AJ loves to help me in the kitchen.  If I’m cooking he drags his chair over the counter to help and he also takes our aprons out of the cabinet.  We always have to wear our aprons when we cook together

7)  If you have never been to Children’s Orchard, I suggest you go… I sold a ton of his clothes this past Wednesday.  Awesome thing to do.  Also, if you don’t sell everything, they will donate the items they don’t take to a local shelter.

8) AJ is still in his crib.  He has only tried to climb out one time.  So, I guess I’m in no real rush to move him out at this point.  But then again, should I be????  If you read this blog and you have a child that is still in his crib, what do you think I should do?  He is only 2 and he isn’t trying to get out, should I leave him in?  Should I move him out?  I guess at some point we are going to have to move him to a big bed.  He is getting a bit tall for it, so that is maybe my only concern.  Thoughts?

9) I joined a new gym.  Super excited.  I also got a trainer and I start next week.

Mickey Mouse Hat!

10) I just want to send out a thank you to all my friends for the kind words and prayers over the last few weeks.  I really appreciate it.  Everyone has been very nice.  The emails and the phone calls have been very appreciated.  So, thank you.

Talk to you later!
