Random Thoughts

I am excited for October because Justin gets 3 paychecks and I have a little extra wiggle room to buy extras that I normally pass up on. I am also planning to start Christmas shopping and I love doing that! Also, Justin has been working on loan doing a job for 6 months now that he officially applied and interviewed for and is now officially doing the job which means a little pay raise, yeah!

In other news, Allison has started to crawl and isn't very fast yet but really enjoys being able to move. This means that I need to put up the gate soon and keep little things off the floor. She already choked on something this evening and spit up half of her dinner trying to cough it out. It was a little piece of slate rock from our fire place with jagged edges, ouch!

I was able to go to Lagoon with my mom and sister Sherri last Saturday, it was fun! I haven't been to Lagoon in over 3 years and I wanted to go all summer but finally got my chance in September. I highly recommend going in September when the summer crowd has died down.

This past week has been a rough one for my family and things have been weighing heavily on my mind. Please send any prayers you have our way.

Lastly, Tim is getting old enough to go play with friends. I really enjoy when his friends (or their moms) call and ask him to come over and play because then I get a break and he's not being baby-sat. What a fun stage!

It is always nice to know there is a little extra wiggle room.

Poor Allison-how sad. . . and scary. I'm glad she didn't totally choke on it. It is fun when the kids get old enough to go play at friends' houses, isn't it. Congratulations to Justin on the pay raise and to you on the extra wiggle room! Prayers always for the family-hopefully things will get better.
