A Blogger Bum

Where did July go? I can't believe I haven't updated in a month.

Things are happening here. We didn't fall off the face of the earth.

Baby Kenley is doing great. I think I'm 18 weeks now and this morning felt my first little kick. It's becoming more real every day. Sam calls the baby "Bubba" and gives my belly lots of sweet kisses. We'll know the gender soon...although I'd kinda like to keep it a surprise. We'll just have to see. Maybe the baby won't be in the right position and force us to wait. Who knows?! Right now we're still on target for a Christmas Eve baby.

Our house is coming along well. We should move in 3 weeks. All that means is that I need to PACK! And I haven't started. Unless you count getting the boxes. Then I have started. It's being bricked this week and the cabinets are being built. I *LOVE* the cabinet guy. He's so funny and he's doing a great job. We're going to have quite a bit of storage space in our house, which will be nice.

Sam is a riot! Every day he does something new. Right now he's calling me Daddy, which is cute and bit disturbing at the same time. He's adding new words all the time and getting better and better with compehension. It's amazing what they pick up on when they are this little.

We may be getting close to potty training, even though I think I'm insane even typing that. This morning, though, he told looked at me and said "poo poo" and I said, "Sam, do you have to go poo poo?" He nodded yes, swatted down and sure enough - the kid pooped! Now, I think that's a pretty good sign that we're getting close. I've always dreaded potty training, because I heard that boys take longer than girls and I have some friends whose boys were almost 3 or older before they were ready. (Insert prayer here that Sam will not be 3 year years old before he's ready)

Scott is doing great. The Ground Crew is really thriving this year. God has really blessed our little business. Big things are in store for us in the next few months and I'll be excited to share those later. Summer is our busiest time and Scott's been starting his days at 4 a.m., which is way too early. But he loves it and we've got a great crew of guys this year - all of which makes it easier.

And me. I'm working. Although not much of it. My case load is ridiculously small and I'm starting to wonder what else I could be doing with my time. I'm exploring the private practice option at this time. But this needs to be approached with a lot of prayer. Right now I have some private clients, but not enough. It's a tough decision. I've taken off quite a few days this summer to play with Sam. Anyway, nothing to stress over.

These shots are a little older. But I couldn't do another post without a picture. How boring are those!?!?!? :)

Sam and smores - this kid could have a true chocolate addiction. I hadn't given him any chocolate on this night, but he snuck some from the table and put away 1/2 the bar before he was caught. I wish you could truly see how onery his face looked when I caught him!


And this is one of my favorites - fishing lessons from Papa Tom!


Adios for now! Hopefully, we'll check in before the month is over! :)
