End of Summer




It has been a crazy summer for us here. With school getting out so late (June 20th) and our entire month of July packed with activities, I have had little time to do things like sitting down at the computer for blogging. Just a quick rundown...

Dan and I are currently training for the awesome Hood to Coast Relay Race coming up next weekend...in case you are unaware of it, it is the largest relay race in the world. Runners from all over participate in this event. We started training officially the beginning of July but then I got bronchitis and got to coughing so hard I broke my rib the middle of July. So I lost a good month or more of training, but 2 weeks ago I got back on track with the help from a friend who has run the Hood to Coast several times along with several marathons. So I am back on and Excited. I will be leaving Cohen for the day and a half, so I will have to bring along my good friend...THE BREAST PUMP.

The kids are all ready (as am I) for school to start. Haven will be going into first grade and Myah just makes the deadline for Kindergarten. She is really excited to be at school with her big sister. They have been amazing helpers with Cohen. They are the best entertainers while I am busy doing my mom things around the house. Haven lost a tooth the end of her school year (her first one). And now she has like 4 more loose! The girls participated in their library's summer reading program and we read about 800 minutes! They got all sorts of fun prizes along the way for doing so great. Cohen is 7 months on the 25th of August, the same day Myah turns 5!! Cohen is getting so big so fast. He is in the 90th percentile for height and weight. He is now crawling and sitting up and saying "dada dadadada" We love him. He looks just like a blond Haven.

Cohen is such a doll. I love the photo up top. The colors are fabulous. Can't wait to see you Saturday.

Oh my goodness - Cohen is growing up so fast. He is a beautiful litte boy. And Have's and Myah are changing too fast. Their aunt Cori misses them.
