So I know that I have been unavailable lately but I have seriously been busting my butt. We have had some mandatory overtime for the past....oh, I don't know...3 weeks now? and it is taking it's toll on my time. I don't want to bore you with the details but it's almost fiscal year end (for those of you that are familiar with what that means to the accounting world). It's been very good for our bank account but I have missed a lot of time with my family. Lee is being super great about all of it and has stepped up to be SuperDad since I am not around to help out in the evenings or on weekends.
We have a lot of video to post of Kash who is now crawling, waving and even saying the occasional "bye", "mom", "dad" and I think maybe even "go".
I am getting pumped up because I will be taking a mini-vacation in September to visit my beautiful sister-in-law and my brother and their super-wonderful brand new daughter! She is not here yet but she should make her grand appearance within the next two weeks (hopefully).
Kurgan and Kira started their new schools in the Kyrene district and it seems like they really like them so far. Kurgan had his first orthodontist visit and the experience was fantastic! I thought that we would be nervous since it's a pretty big deal but the office was amazing and the staff was super friendly and it turns out that I even went to the same high school as the dentist and know two of his nephews! Funny stuff. Anyway, Kurgan will be getting his braces on September 2nd and will be wearing them for 2 years. He is excited to get them on because he knows that he will be that much closer to having beautiful, straight teeth and a wicked awesome smile. **jealous**
Kira has fallen in love with her school and the fact that the bathrooms are clean and her teacher is very nice. She likes riding the bus this year even though I secretly sneak out when I'm home to watch her walk to the bus stop from our walkway in front of our house. It's tough having kids grow up and become independent.
Here's to September 1st...which can't come soon enough.
