What!? I Have a Blog?

I've found that with Jon not in classes this summer, I have no reason to stay late to update my blog. Additionally, I've been walking during my breaks, and all around too busy. And today? Jon is off and away putting in a new bathroom floor for a family in our ward so that they can hopefully sell their home. I'm totally not motivated to go home to an empty house...

So much has happened in the last 3 weeks. This list is totally out of order, but is a good indicator of what has been going on.

We finally had a birthday get together for Tae. I left my camera here, so we used my mom's. I have yet to see the photos.

Tae is finally getting more teeth! We have had just the two bottom ones since February. Now we have 4 coming in at once (two top middle and next ones out on the bottom). She has been really clingy-but overall is handling it well.

Tae got bit for the first time. I know that it will happen again, I hear that is just part of day care, but it was so sad to see the bite marks on her arm.

I completed a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training. I'm now CERT certified, and have the green hardhat, flashy vest and all. I've been trying to get information on CERT in my area. My community council chair had no information and it sounds like I may need to contact the city. I checked their website, and it looks like they are more focused on training, at this point, than actually structuring the current CERT personnel. I'm excited to be certified, but a little worried at the lack of structure that I'm finding in my area. I must admit I'm a little hesitant to dig into it, because that is how you get put heading things up...

We tried to go to the zoo last night. Turns out we got there 15 minutes too late to get in (total repeat of the Aviary on Tae's b-day). I need to work on this planning thing.

Instead of going to the zoo, we went to dinner down at the Gateway. Afterward we went to the Olympic fountain. Tae wasn't sure what to think. After Jon picked her up and ran through it, she felt a little better. The best is when he put her down when the fountain turned off. She was loving 'running' (slightly faster than her walk) through the puddles...until it turned back on. She totally got nailed! Startled her a little (ok, a lot), but watching the other kids helped her get her confidence back. I'm glad she didn't get nearly as wet as some of the other kids. As it was, she had goose bumps when she finished. She sure did sleep well last night, though!

Oh, and we went home 3 weekends in May. Jon spent one of them on my mom's flower gardens, one on putting in a raised flower garden for his mom, and the last we had Tae's b-day BBQ (and finished Sherrie's flower garden). Last week was the first weekend in a month that we have been home the whole weekend. We got so much accomplished, but there is still so much to do. I typed and printed a columned, categorized list of work that needs to be done on the house we are renting. When I showed it to Jon, he asked why it wasn't alphabetized. Sometimes I love his sense of humor, and sometimes I'm not so sure.

We have also found out that Taelyn loves grapes and calamari...and I have a mission reunion tomorrow.

That is all I can think of, but I'm sure I missed something important. For now, I'll try to remember that I have a blog and see if I can stay semi-current on it.
