Time FLIES!




From left to right: FINN, KALLAN, LOGAN, ELIAS.

Wow! I can't believe it's been over a month since I have posted! Kallan is just keeping us so busy. She went from crawling on her hands and knees to standing in a week! She is starting to walk. She can take about 3-4 steps before she dives into the floor.

I took Kallan to the beach for the first time on Friday. We met her friends there. It was a lot of fun! She is a little uncertain about being on the soft sand, I think it's the unstable feeling beneath her feet. She wasn't crazy about the fact that the sand stuck to her hands either. She did get a big kick out of the water as it came up and got her feet wet. Lot's of giggles!

We got the backyard started on landscaping. There is a lot more we want to do, but for now it is "usable". I will post pictures of that later.

We've been battling with the ants. They are winning, until Friday when we will have our secret weapon come in. We hired a pest control service. They will spray outside and use an organic, non-toxic spray inside. Hopefully this works.

Mike is busy, busy at work. He likes his new job, a lot different than elementary. He is mowing the lawn as I type. It looks like it might rain today. That would be different than the 100+ degree weather we have been having.

I have joined the Social Committee here at our community and am helping to plan big community events. I am really enjoying this.

That's all for now. Little Miss K is sleeping so there is much to be done! First I need to go stir our latest Chili recipe that is stewing in the crock pot. Mike and I have entered the Community Chili Contest.
