August

On the last day of August, the weatherman referred to the month as “Augtober” meaning that it wasn’t very good weather (at least on that day). The last day poured all day and felt like fall. However, we did have some good and hot weather in August. One really hot day (90+), was on the 14th. We had back to back birthday parties to go to! First was cousin Antonio’s first birthday party in their backyard.


We left that party and went to Forest Park where friend, Spencer was having his 3rd birthday party. It was a good day for parties! And, it was our first time going to other little kid parties. I can see a ton more of those in the future, hopefully not too often back to back on the same day!

Shaun also had his first dental cleaning appointment. He did so well; I was so proud of him! He had his very first visit a year ago, but there was no cleaning involved then at 18 months; just a look and a fluoride treatment. We also found out on Friday that he won the monthly drawing for the no cavity club. He got a $25 gift card to Target that also came with some neat insect tattoos in a magnifying glass.

Shaun picked out a "Dinosaur Train" set with his winnings. He loves the show!

The next exciting thing we did in August was move Renae into her house! My sister is a homeowner now! Shaun and I did mostly supervising; however Shaun did move in her bathroom scale and garbage can. He loves being a “big helper”. Renae, Mom, Corinne, and the guys (Bill, Dad & Doug), did all of the moving. With 3 big vehicles (minivan, truck and SUV) it only took 2 trips each, plus a 3rd in the minivan. They did all but the last minivan load before lunch. Renae had done a bunch of the small stuff already, so that helped a lot. Then we helped Renae hook into her internet connection via her laptop and Wii on wireless. We were having trouble at first. It took all 3 of our brains, but we finally figured it out and now she can use her wireless on her laptop and Wii (for Netflix instant viewing on the TV). It is such a cute house!


As far as baby Hunter #2 goes; he is doing really well! I have really begun to feel him move. Bill even felt him move last Saturday. The report from the last doc visit was really good; it couldn’t get any better. I am half way to the estimated due date! I will post the next baby/pregnancy update and picture at 5 months on September 23.
