August Recap

It has been a busy and crazy summer, so I thought that I would recap a bit. August has been an eventful month with visits and illnesses and exciting events. I started with month by photographing my first wedding professionally. Thank you so much to Kathy (Alexus and Tyse's grandma) for watching the kiddos for me! It was very exciting and a lot of work, but hopefully the beginning of more to come. Both of brothers announced their engagements - Jake will be married in October of this year and Brian will be married in September 2010. It was somewhat of a shock but a pleasant one.
I have been painting my dining room and the kids' rooms, which they are very excited about and I need to get some pictures on here to show. Tyse wanted a cowboy/train room and Lex wanted a colorful horse/princess room. It was quite the task.
Alexus contracted "Fifth Disease" which is a mildly contagious rash that lasts about a week the day after I was done photographing the wedding (always a good thing) and I fell off my horse for the first time while riding bareback and trying to go faster than I should have. Its somewhat funny now, but a little nerve racking when it happened. Oh well, thats when you get back in the saddle and keep going!
Tyse is now potty trained and is not even using diapers at night! I am very proud of him and very excited at the prospect of being done with diapers! Lex also started 1st grade today so we are back in the swing of things and the stock yards will be picking up which will be nice to be back to a fairly normal routine. As soon as I get my pictures downloaded, I will post them of Lex's first day of school.
I have been battling pneumonia for the past two weeks so I am hoping to have some energy in the next little while. My mom has been here for about a week which has been wonderful!

I was beginning to wonder what happened to you--definitely an eventful August. Hopefully you'll get feeling better soon. Pneumonia is no fun.

Wow, what an August. I think that beats ours. I hope you feel better soon (and the kiddos too). And congratulations on your first wedding shoot. I'd love to see pictures.

HEY! Cassy is in my English/History class. I need to add your number to my phone so I can text you. And your August sounds way crazy. I'm glad mine's over. :)
