OK! I am still awful at blogging…. But at least it hasn’t been a year since I last blogged! Summer has been so busy! Jason is working on his internship for his Administration degree, we went on an anniversary trip to Gatlinburg, and of course we are soaking up our time with the kids!

Gatlinburg was a great trip. It was hard to leave Libby and Luke, but we really enjoyed the break. We went zip lining which was fun. I don’t know that I would choose to do it again. It was really fun, but it is one of those things once you have done it…. You’ve done it and it’s enough. We also went shopping at the outlets and went to a fun upside house…. It wasn’t really an upside house. It looked like one but inside it reminded me a lot of the McWain Center. It was cool. We also ate really, really well!  Enough about us though….

Luke recently went for his 4 month check up. He was 18 lbs and 8 ounces and 26 ¾ inches long. That is the 98th percentile for both! He is a BEAST! Everywhere we go people are shocked that he is only 4 months! He is starting to use his hands a lot more. He enjoys watching Praise Baby on the tv and he loves watching his sister play too!

Libby has such a huge personality! Lately she has become obsessed with the David and Goliath story. In her version she includes that David wasn’t scared because God gave him courage…. However she also includes that after Goliath got hit in the nose and the head with David’s stone, he went home and had to go to timeout! Occasionally she gets mixed up and says he went to Nineveh. She has had a big summer! On Thursdays she has “Gran and Soach Day.” They take her to the library and “Chick flay”. Then she goes home with them and spends the night. She has also spent lots of time with CiCi and Pop Pop. However often she lets us know that she wants to go to the beach (and I do too!) So in a few weeks we will be heading down there!  She has also had some tough times this summer. She has had a lot of UTIs and yeast infections since January. She has also been complaining about her back hurting.  A couple of weeks ago we went to the doctor. She had to have a catheter (her second since January), blood work, and x-rays. She was such a brave girl (although there was plenty of crying.) Everything came back ok, which is great. Although we still don’t have an answer.

The past few weeks I have also been working on my dining room. It has pretty much been an empty room with a table and a timeout mat. I am still waiting on my curtains to come in. Once that is done I will try to post a blog about the house.
Ok that is all for now….
