What happened to August?



Well it has been a busy month to say the least. Jason worked pretty much 24/7 over the last week with the RNC happening. Isabella and I were both sick with a bad cold over Labor Day weekend but we did manage to go up to the cabin for a couple days and let my mom and dad take care of us. I've been working long hours over the last month. I anticipate at least a couple more weeks of "crazy". Jason's schedule will start ramping up next week while he is coordinating some annual training up at Camp Ripley until the end of October.

Isabella of course keeps us plenty busy when we aren't working. She has her 18-month doctor appt. this week and is growing up before our eyes. It is certainly bittersweet. Over the last month she has learned how to frown and give dirty looks (fair warning for those we may see in the coming weeks). Bella has also learned how to turn door knobs and can easily let herself in and out of any unlocked room in the house. Now that daycare has quieted down with the kids back in school we are getting her on board the potty "train"ing. Isabella is doing great and even went #2 on the potty last week. She is a quick learner so hopefully we'll be done with diapers by the time she turns 2.

What a beautiful smile Bella has! I can't believe how much more mature she looks in one month. We really do need to get these girls of ours together to play. I'm sure they'd have a ball together!
