Finally!

Things have finally started to get back to normal for us.  We have spent the last month or so working like crazy, getting lots of house projects done and helping get Lindsey and Kellen settled in Kansas City. 

 

Work is finally slowing down a little bit for both Justin and myself.  July are very busy months for us anyways and we are down a person at my job. 

We also tackled a few house things.  Justin said I am not allowed to say, "Lets redo (fill in the blank)" for at least two months.  (We will just have to see about that though!)  You will have to check out the new pictures I added to the albums.  It is Justin replacing a leaky/broken faucet with Payton 'assisting'.  It is no wonder that things seem to take along time to get done around here!

Lindsey and Kellen found an apartment and moved about 1-2 weeks ago.  It is in a good location and really close to her work.  So they are both settled in and have started their jobs.

 

Justin has been on vacation this week.  It has been so nice to have him home and Payton is getting some much needed Daddy bonding time.  Now that we are back to normal, things have been going good.  Uncle Jeremy and Mandi came down to visit on Saturday.  Payton was very excited to see them.  I don't think he left Jeremy alone the entire time he was here.  My grandma from Florida came to KC this past week also.  When Payton heard that his Great Grandma was coming he kept saying, "My Happy Birthday!"  He remembered her coming for his birthday last year and thought since she was coming again that it must be his birthday!  So I had to break it to him that it was not his birthday, but it would be in few months.  Payton went to the airport with Grandma and Great Grandma on Sunday to watch Great Grandma leave.  He loved watching the airplanes.  When they got back he told me all about it and talked about it for days! 

 

Payton has been doing great.  It seems like all of a sudden he became such a big boy!  He is now potty trained, which is a huge relief.  He also loves to 'read' his books.  He will actually stay awake in his bed for up to 2 hours and go through all of his books.  I would like him to go to sleep, but I guess if he is going to stay awake, I am happy it is with books.   He is also really into singing and dancing!  He learns lots of new songs at school.  Usually we can figure them out, but every once in a while we have to call Aunt Kristin to help us figure them out.  (She works at a day care).   The most noticiable thing about Payton right now is that he NEVER stops talking!!  His vocabulary has just exploded in the last few months.  My little guy is becoming a big boy! 

 

Now that things have slowed down, hopefully I will be able to add updates more often.  I hope everyone is having a great summer!
