What a Summer!!

The greatest thing about summer time, is to be able to spend time with family...and we have done a whole lot of that! With the 2010 school year on the horizon next Tuesday, Michelle has been steadily working on her classroom.

Drew has changed sooo much over the summer this year. He has grown about 3 inches taller, and added around twice as many, if not more, words to his vocabulary. It is incredible to sit down with him and be able to have a conversation ( at least until he finds something to wrestle,or jump on).

My new found career in "insurance" is taking some big steps in the right direction. I still can't believe that with all the things that I have done in my life, I somehow ended up in a work environment that is considered boring and nerdy. I have to admit that it has become very enjoyable for me. I have a very flexible schedule, and spend most of my time talking to people....and funny enough, 90 percent of conversations have nothing to do with insurance:)

Potty training had started about 2 weeks ago, and Drew is almost completely out of diapers! It was much easier that I ever imagined, witch is not typical of my son. We never pushed him to use the potty, it was just there....we made him aware of it. There was however, a strong motivation to use it....M&M's.

I hope everyone has had a great summer, since I have waited so long to post on the blog, I am going to list everything we did this summer....for posterity.
