Wyatt's Birthday and other things

Wyatt had a great first birthday. My parents and Kevin's parents came to join in the fun.

I have no real excuse for it taking a month to upload this video. Just life. Busy life, but just life.

We went to Asheville, NC September 25th to see my grandfather (Grandpa Dahlager), Aunt Norma, and Uncle Stan. We all had a great time. I didn't get to walk down to the pond because I forgot normal shoes (I think the rain plus my heels would have ruined the walk for me). But pretty much everyone else went. I know some of you are thinking...ummm, it is a pond...but it is where Kevin and I went on our first ever date (maybe one of my favorite places ever).

Zoe had a dentist appointment. I will spare you the details. She was excited to go, not so excited after we arrived. She also had her visit to the ENT. We have been ear infection free for over 6 months. I really think that might have deserved a party of its own.

Josh moved out. We all spent his last week here ill and disappointed that we didn't get to go do stuff. However, the night before he left, I took him dancing. Which he has now crossed off his bucket list. I don't expect to find him learning to dance in the near future. Then we played 2 rounds of putt-putt and a little ski-ball. We all miss having him around, but we are so excited about the journey he is set to begin.

Then, it was on to Atlanta to visit Kevin's grandmother. Grandma Baker got to see the kids for almost a whole week while Kevin and I took turns staying in Atlanta. I went to Atlanta Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday while Kevin worked. Then he drove down Sunday night (we met for dinner at the Wendy's in Clemson) and stayed until Tuesday, so I could go to class. The kids all seemed to have a great time. Zoe and Wyatt got to see their cousin, Paton, who was in town from Utah. (There are pics on Karen's Facebook page)

We have all been back and in town for just over 60 hours. I took a test and wrote two short assignments. Kevin worked full days and did an oil change on his dad's car. The kids even managed to squeeze in two play dates. Sometimes I think next week will slow down or be less busy. I am starting to bet against that. Instead, I am embracing the busyness and really treasuring the few lazy days.

If I don't post again for a month, well, you should probably expect it will take that long. The rest of the month is filled with play dates, home maintenance, doctor's appointments and volunteering (can't forget, school for me and work for Kevin). If you want to join us for a play date, send me a text. The dates are already on the meetup calendar, but we all love to have new people join us.
