In the last month or so

we have gone to Ohio (which included the zoo, a carousel ride, a trip to Cleveland, making friends with big dogs, a baseball game, hanging out with friends we met during our time in Vegas, and time with GrannyCue, Papa Smurf, and extended family).

we have stopped pumping, and gone from exclusively formula to formula and rice cereal, and even some apple sauce.

we have begun to adjust to full time teaching and full time daycare, though some days I cry because I should be home taking care of Slane, instead of doing what I love to do and loving it at my new school. She, on the other hand, loves daycare and sometimes cries when it is time to leave.

we met some new cousins, including L and A. Slane and A were so cute during tummy time together.

we missed having cousin Lisa from Michigan stay with us and help out so much (seriously, we are thinking of hiring someone to help with cleaning once we get the budget evened out).

we are getting superexcited to meet Baby E, when she arrives!

we have missed Q while he is working on the new disc golf course, but we are proud of his involvement and leadership with it.

we have welcomed back one of our international students, and met our new student and her parents, who adore Slane (this means we have 5 kids counting Slane).

we have accumulated two SD cards with pictures of Slane, and promise we will get them on here soon.

we have gained weight and filled out.

we have gotten a Bumbo seat, which we love, and are in the market for a high chair. We also love the exersaucer.

Slane has started rolling over from back to belly, and loves to sleep on her side. She has also discovered that she likes to talk, during church, and spit and make smacky sounds. My glasses are always covered with Slane fingerprints, and when she eats, she rubs the food in her eyes.

we told Dr. B goodbye. We miss him already (and his family, including his newest addition, Baby I).

oh, and someone in our neighborhood has acquired nonFirewalled internet, so we have access again...which means we can stay on top of this more.

And now we prepare for Slane's first football season (and yes, she has Buckeye gear).
