Long overdue on updates!

I know, I know...where are the loving photos of our son? Where are the detailed descriptions of his ongoing evolution? Still stuck on the 2GB stick in our digital camera - that's where!

I am down to 4 business days left of my current contract job. Part of me never thought this day would come - as of July 3rd, I will be "unemployed"...at least, in a traditional sense. I plan to spend the following week preparing for our vacation in Canada with the Moyle's - and then hopefully I will be able to line up another contract when we return. However, I hope to keep it down to 2-3 days a week. Working 4 days a week has our life in constant choas. It's actually shocking what a difference that 1 day a week makes. No blogging, no playdates, no weeding the flower beds I have worked so hard on. No fun at the gym. Isaac and I haven't even gotten to go to the splash-pad yet this year!

We have been busy! The weekend after Brian's adventure in Detriot with the boys - we returned to Detriot for a Tiger's game with Chris and Mindi. Then, last weekend, we headed to the cabin for some serious R&R. There was mingling with the neighbors, a few visits to the beach...some naps for everyone. As always, it was hard to come home.

The flip side of working 4 days a week...Isaac loves daycare - seriously....(school, child development, call it what you will). He has had so much fun with his buddies every day, and just cracks us up when we pick him up after work - running to the door with his little daily sheet). His vocabulary is growing larger every day...with lots of tank too (thank you), on and off, peaz (please), juice, beans, ahpole (apple), ah-nanuh (banana), googoo train, cah (car), bikekle (bicycle), ahpane (airplane), bacebah (baseball), monkey, mouse, etc...a myriad of animal noses - songs like "wheels on the bus", itzy bitzy spider, etc. This is, by far, the most fun yet. :)

Anyways, I will try to get some updated photos up next week! Drop in, let us know how you are doing!?

I have a vast vocabulary of animal noises too. I perfect them on my walks or while watering the flowers at night. Talking to the animals keeps me sane!

Don't you just LOVE new words on a daily basis! It just amazes me how quickly their vocabulary grows!!

I understand the craziness of working full time...I'm soooo glad its summer time and I get to be home - although we're still super busy! I'm seriously going to check into options of working part time next year or so...not sure if it'll ever happen - but worth looking into!
