This summer has flown by. It has been jammed packed with everything you can think of. June was the birth of Skyler and learning to deal with being a student, mom, and wife. July was filled with lots of time at Indian Lake...and still being a student, mom, and wife. In August, I will thankfully have a break from one of my responsibities...a student. After Aug 5, I will have a month off from school (having completed my first year of PA school). My second years begins Septemeber 8 and it will be a very hard and demanding year, but I'm excited for it because I actually get to learn more "PA" stuff rather than background information. Allen has definately been enjoying his summer and I'm sure will not be happy to start school again. He has had many game nights and lots of time playing video games (amist fatherly duties of course). August, although, will get busier for him, since soccer practices will begin shortly. Skyler is doing great! He is now 81/2 weeks old. It is crazy how fast he is growing (already!). He "talks" all the time, smiles so much (and I love it when he smiles when he sees me walk into the room), holds his head up on his own, and has the strongest kick I've ever seen a baby have. Seriously, he doesn't act like an 8 week old. I think secretly he thinks he is 12 weeks. =) Overall, we've been doing great. VERY VERY busy, but great. Maybe in August I'll post more...maybe. ;-)
