Things going on:
Shaun:
is sprouting his second tooth
learning to gum more of his food, but also learning that if he sticks his tongue WAY out and scrapes it with his gums he can get rid of whatever he was eating and have it land all over his bib and anything else. We are trying to curb this habit.
discovered Shaun does not like broccoli (the only food as of yet he does not like) and he is making no bones about that.
is really proficient at walking along the furniture. Now he is attempting to stand without support. He's getting some good hang time before he falls. Last night he was able to stand up without holding on to anything for about 30 seconds. We were really impressed.
Robert:
just got offered a new schedule at work. Four 10-hour days with Fridays off. He's excited since half the time he stays late anyway. Now he'll get Fridays off and have more of a weekend.
Me:
realized that I have way too many hobby interests and haven't followed through with any of them. I've always felt like I don't have anything specific that's ME. So I've finally got a project that I'm sticking with. I am making a cookbook that I'm going to give away as Christmas presents for family (trying to be budget conscious this year). I am taking pictures of all of the dishes that I'll be making over the next few months. This is good because it ties my other interest, photography, into the project and makes use of a $500 camera that was just sitting around.
My other interest: cake decorating is totally overwhelming. Have no idea where to start since there is so much stuff involved and a lot of money required for tools, etc. I need to look on Ebay Craigslist for some options.
House:
We have been saving and saving and saving up for this. Our backyard is going to be done. We've hired a landscaper who is putting in a pergola, ripping out our cement slab and putting in a paver patio. He's also planting a few more trees to add more privacy and adding a waterfall, stream, and pond. We have such a big yard and I've always felt like we don't spend enough time in it. Hopefully this will totally do the trick.
Well, that was a nice break. Now I gotta get back to work.
