catching up

wow, time is really flying by!  i knew summer time was a busy time, but somehow we got all the way from may to the first of july without one single blog entry!  whoops!  we've been keeping busy with work, outdoor concerts, going to the pool, taking little mini trips that included my dad's retirement party in va, a visit to will's parents in western nc, and a trip to the train museum and nc zoo.  dax had a fun time with all of it.  he's really getting into going places and when we sometimes find him with his favorite item of the day standing by the front door saying "go"!  he's definitely on the move, and doesn't like to be still.  he keeps folks entertained and he's even doing pretty good at entertaining himself these days.  today he played for several hours with some chalk and two race cars.  he drove them all over the "road" that we'd drawn on the wall and he even chattered to the cars - although i have no idea what they were carrying on about.  

his recent 2.5 year check up checked out well and the doctor said he was looking good.  thankfully he got no shots this time, so he really liked seeing all of the doctor's tools and getting a sticker.

all of this fun has made our boy tired and gotten him a little off his sleep schedule.  some afternoons daddy has to wake him up from his long afternoon naps.

while all of this fun has been going on we've also got some major happenings in the works over here.  we'll be updating everyone with more details on all of that soon, but just don't think we're sitting around watching real housewives and eating chocolate candy. 

although, there is nothing wrong with that.
