August

Wow, when did August disappear and September come? I have no idea... August was a full month for us (if you don't want to read our month summary skip to the end for some pictures) - it started out with my sister and her family visiting - they were here for the last week of July and first week of August.

After they left my little sister went into the hospital and was taken by helicopter to the University hospital. Daniel and I sneaked away to his family reunion (8/10-8/13), and on the way back stopped by to see my mom and sister at the hospital.

The day after we came home (8/11), I got a terrible head cold. My sister came home during the next week. Sunday (8/22 - yep my birthday) I was starting to feel better, but by Tuesday (8/24) I was feeling horrible again. Turned out the cold went away I just got a sinus infection. One sinus was so sore that it hurt to chew anything with the left side of my mouth - serious toothache. Not so fun.

My sister went back into the hospital about a week (8/24) after she got home and was home a week later (8/31).

Eric learned how to climb out of his pack & play last month as well, so we decided to invest in a crib - turns out he can climb out it as well... so naptime and nighttime have turned incredibly fun. That's pretty much been our month in a nutshell. We've been applying for jobs and haven't heard back from any of them. We're hoping (and praying) that one of them works out soon!

Here are some photos:
First week - Eric 'helping' clean up - after his cousins baptism dinner. Family photo - my whole family and Eric in his Uncle's boots.
Daniel's family Reunion - Eric was helping take down one of the tents.
Our puppy found a new place to take a nap.
Eric found a new place to hide out.
He's blowing you a kiss. We hope you all had a great month of August. Hopefully we'll have good news to report on the job front soon!
