Catching up...

Wow, I haven't been a faithful blogger this summer. I discovered the addicting nature of Facebook and it has monopolized my free time at work. So, here is an effort to catch up on the summer.



The end of June we went to Yellowstone with my very good friend Tamara and her family. Tamara and I worked together at Cathedral Home a long time ago. We went through grad school together. She moved away from Wyoming a long time ago so we haven't spent much time together for a very long time. It was awesome to go to Yellowstone together. Forrest loved playing with Kayna and Kordell, Tamara's kids.

I posted pictures from the 4th of July. It was awesome, as it always is in Lander.

Madeline continues to grow and grow. She was so little and skinny when she was born, now she is chubby! My mom says my milk must be more like cream...she thinks it is 99% fat! Madeline laughed out loud for the first time while she was awake over the weekend. Daddy was tickling her neck.

Forrest has had a big summer. He is learning to play with other kids more. My parents bought him an awesome swing set that he loves to play on. He is helping in the garden and he mows the lawn. He has learned to sleep in his own bed, although the mattress is in the living room. He is potty trained and can sing the ABCs. This Tuesday he started preschool! Wow, what an amazing summer he has had.

Forrest also says the cutest things. Yesterday he started saying "Hello, Gorgeous" when he enters a room. Apparently it is a quote from the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. He also told me this morning that Gramps is really old and he is new. Then he asked me where I bought him.

I'm making an end of the year resolution to be better at posting things...it helps me remember things that have happened. It is like my journal...without an up to date blog, I have no way to remember the events of our lives!
