SUMMATIME!!!

Emilee on the 4th blanket hopping!

Ethan enjoying the sun.

Our family trip to Lewis and Clark Caverns.

I really thought I was further behind in post than I actually am. That is good I guess. It has just been a SUPER busy summer so far. We have moved, Ethan is walking, Jimmy is in Canada and Emilee turns 3 on Monday! Those are just the highlights!

We decided to downsize and have moved into an apartment. It is a newer 3 bedroom and really nice. I love the kitchen since it is more than double the size of our old one and I actually have work space and storage space. The only bad thing about moving was having to find a new home for Cody. Luckily I was able to find him a really great home in Polson with a loving family. He is very happy with his new family and is enjoying his summer.

Jimmy's surgery did NOT fix his stomach issues and ended up going to see a specialist. He has something called gastroparesis and he thinks a lot of it was due to stress at work. He was offered a position to help out in Canada for four months training and opening new stores. So we are flying solo for awhile and not really enjoying it so much. We have signed of for skype and we all enjoy our nightly video chats. They are taking care of everything for him while he is there and he was told they will fly him back for visits. I hope so because we miss him so.

I have started school through Western Governors University for my degree in special education. I started on July 1st and wish my first class would not have to Language and Communication Research which includes a 10-15 page paper. Yikes! It is a little harder than I had realized it would be finding time enough to concentrate. I WILL succeed though.

Ethan is moving right along and I mean literally. He took his first steps July 7th and has not stopped since. He is now walking from room to room and stands up on his own. He has gotten two teeth in now and loves to eat real food. He is a small fry though according to the dr at his last check up. He is below 5% for his weight and 25-50% for height. He is so much fun and still my little snugga buggga!

Emilee turns 3 on Monday the 26th and I can not believe it. I am hoping her listening skills return once she turns 3. Whew! I has been rough. She is definitely looking forward to her birthday and her Dora party. Even though she had Dora last year there was no way getting away from it as hard as I tried. She is also very much looking forward to starting school and honestly so am I. I think she is getting quite bored staying home with me day in and day out.

Anyway, I think that is enough for now since I should be doing school-work anyway.
