BUSY Mom = BAD Blogger
I swear I will get to this sooner or later but a quick glimpse into our lives:
Mommy: trying to be a good wife, being a Mom, part of two Mothers groups on Fridays, helping to prepare for Rylan's preschool's Fall Festival, being a nurse to my immobile husband, trying to get more involved at church, and trying to train for the San Antonio half marathon in November
Callie Jae: first tooth, can sit for a couple of minutes by herself, getting up on hands and knees, bouncing with her knees while standing, amazing sleeper, DROOLING EVERYWHERE, happy as can be, Mommy sees tons of similarities between CJ and Rylan's personalities and developmental milestones
Rylan: an amazing helper and little human, sweet as can be, loves his sister, plays nicely with his sister, shares with his sister, loves preschool, happy, still a great sleeper, looking forward to his choo choo party at the Katy train park
Jason: foot surgery (stitches out Friday and hopefully will be able to begin to put weight on it), BUSY school semester, new role at Dow (should say roles cause it seems like he has multiple jobs rolled into one), trying to be as supportive as possible even with a bum foot of my crazy schedule
Need I say more? We are busy, tired, and trying to have fun all at the same time. Life will calm down or so in about 6 weeks. Til then, please bear with my lack of updates and communication :(.
Love to all of you that care enough to be interested in our lives!

September?
To quote a friend on FB, "where did August go? I swear I had it around here somewhere..." How true is that statement? Although, when you leave for half of it, I guess it goes by pretty quickly. Leaving for the last two weeks of August proved to be a very smart thing to do because here in Katy, the temperature was around 105 degrees for almost that whole period of time. During our two week adventure, not only did my brother marry my amazing new sister-in-law Liz, but Rylan is now less than one month away from being FOUR, and Callie Jae turned 6 months old...momma is feeling old :).
We had an amazing time on our adventure up north. It began visiting my very best friend Katie in Ohio. Rylan and Ashlyn played hard for 2.5 days straight, Callie Jae and Ben did their baby thing of eating, sleeping, and a little playing (Ben tried to pull off Callie Jae's ear ;)), and Katie and I stayed up late to the wee hours of the morning doing what best friends do best...talking and sharing our lives with each other. I really do not think that two people could be more alike. We think the same, have very similar tastes, both have children the same age, both love being moms, have extremely hard working husbands, and people have even mentioned that we look similar. I love her to pieces and am extremely lucky and blessed to have her in my life. I hope one day we will be able to be closer to each other, but if not, we will always pick up right where we left off.
The second lag of our trip took us Up North to my parent's place in Northern Michigan. I don't know what it is about Up North, but I get a feeling that I have never gotten anywhere else. There is a sense of peace and serenity about the Leelanau Peninsula and it definitely deserves "the most beautiful place in the country" award (according to Good Morning America). Rylan had a blast playing with his cousin and was so tired on a couple of occasions that he was seriously delirious. They played long and hard most of the week and even took little Elliott, Liz's nephew, under their wing. I called them the three little ducks because they just followed each other around wherever they went.
And then there was the wedding... This was the second wedding that I have attended in Northern Michigan, the first one being my own :), and can I just say once again that it is a magical place. Liz and Jim did an amazing job planning for the big day and it was perfect down to every last detail. The rabbi that performed the ceremony was truly amazing. The ceremony was very touching and sincere and the party was a blast. Congratulations to the two of them and I hope that the magic of Up North continues through their lives as it has fortunately through ours.
