It's August already???

Not sure where the summer has gone but it's already August and I haven't written in a long time! Much has happened and I'm doing a horrible job finding the time to write. The biggest news is that D got her first marriage proposal! She has a "boyfriend" at school named Josh. We've known him for a long time. They were in a My Gym class together when they were 18 months old. Anyway, his mom and I have become friends over the past year because they were in the same class and we've been hanging out a lot. I guess over the 5 week summer session, they were inseparable. We went to their house yesterday for a playdate and before D was even out of the car, Josh said, "I want to marry you!" They are adorable! We went for a swim and then after, all 4 kids got in the bath together. Too much! Today they came over here for dinner and D and Josh were playing on the climber and "getting married." They used his sister as the flower girl. The best part was his dad grilling him on where they were going to live, who was going to do the cooking, etc. Kids playing pretend....LOVE IT!

Last weekend we were in Fresno visiting the family. We met the Berryhill girls. They are adorable. I don't know how Amanda is handling a 2.5, 4 and 5 year old. D got along swimmingly with them. It's too bad they live so far from us. We also saw our other cousins and their kids. There were 7 kids under 5 and 13 total. Chaos! But so fun to see them all together.

In the last two weeks, B's speech has taken off. He's now using 2 word phrases and initiating conversations. He's doing great. Today we went to Noah's Ark and he ran around and had a great time. He's still like a fly, from one place to the next, but listening and staying with us. It's so nice to be able to go out and about with him. He's still a handful but it's getting better!

David was nominated for an Emmy. Somehow we have to figure out how the kids are going to be taken care of...particularly B. Nobody has put him to bed besides us. He's still so high maintenance when it comes to wanting Mommy. Stay tuned for more on that one.

One month until school starts. B will start Hand in Hand and D will be in school 5 days a week.
