It's been awhile...

So once again it's been awhile since I've posted on here. We've had a busy summer so far. We took a trip in June to Florida with Jon's siblings, Teresa and Steven, and their families. We had a good time just hanging out at the resort swimming in the pools and even got to see an alligator show. On the way back from our trip we headed to Jekyl Island off the Atlantic coast of Georgia to meet up with my sister, Marisa, and her family. We hadn't seen them in a year so it was good to catch up and spend some time at the beach and the Sea Turtle Center together.
We celebrated Tatiana's birthday in Florida, Georgia and Ohio so she should be set until next June. Jon just celebrated his 33rd on the first of August. Tatiana keeps asking when it'll be her birthday again. I guess three celebrations wasn't enough.
Our biggest excitement lately has been potty training (again) Tatiana. She is now in big girl underwear and goes most of the time on the potty chair. We're still working out some selective issues but this has been a huge step for her, especially with preschool coming up next month. I have started up a food blog, mommymadefromscratch.blogspot.com, that has kept me busy in addition to the busyness of life. Jon has kept busy with a big project at work, which he has taken lead on and will be done with after this weekend. So there's the short version of our summer. I sincerely hope to get better at updating this. Write at ya in a few months...just kidding!

Summer, summer, summertime!

Once again, sorry that I haven't written in awhile. We have been busy this summer with a visit to the Goldstons in Georgia, Tatiana and Jon's birthdays, fun at the zoo with the Howards and just everyday life. Asher is now 8 months old as of a few days ago and Tatiana is 3 as of June 25th. I can't believe how big they are becoming!

We're still busy with the house. It's been slow-going as far as painting, decorating, etc. as we've been busier with the not-so-fun chores of owning a home but we are very thankful to have a home of our own.

Asher now has two teeth and is in the process of figuring out how to crawl. He's an expert roller and scooter and gets into enough trouble that way already so it'll be pretty interesting once he figures out how to move his arms and legs at the same time up on all fours!

Tatiana has reached some fun stages that I thought she had skipped over...taking off her clothes at random and climbing all over things. We had hoped that she was just going to skip those things but now she has made up for lost time!

I think it's safe to say that Asher and Tatiana keep mommy and daddy on their toes everyday. Life's an adventure!
