Dear Heath

Dear Heath,

I'm sorry about there being only one blog in August. Especially since ever waking minute was accounted for with all actions related to our move west. I took pictures along the way. Eventually they will be posted in a hodge podge not so conical order.

In addition to selling our home and buying a new home, the kids were asked to be angles by textbook standards. Even though living another 57 days in corporate house seems less than glamorous, I am more please with the day to have my focus back to the three dumpling we all love.

Aidan started 1st grade last Tuesday. On the second day of school he asked to be dropped off at the curb. His request threw me off. I asked if he was sure and he said " yeah mom, I can do it". I love the I can do it attitude. I wish he used that line with eating summer squash at dinner tonight.

I struggled with Ethan and good listening skills all summer. It was so bad I was loosing sleep over it and dreaded asking him anything know he would resist unless I offered ice cream. As soon as we touched down at the hotel in PA, Ethan snapped right out of it. He's such a great helper. Oh, let me rewind and say that the turning point was when he fell and hit his head on a urinal while we were out to lunch as soon as we touched down in PA. I think the urinal knocked some good sense into him. We feel offal that he had to get stitches again but now we're pretty set up here with knowledge of a good emergency room and a new pediatrician practice to look after us:)

Elise is a happy baby. She loves to eat and eats real food which makes it so easy to be on the go. Elise loves to stand. She's making major strides towards trying to crawl. I think she will follow in her brothers foot steps and go right to walking.

I'm sorry for the lack of pictures on this post to you. We love your comments so please, keep them coming.

Lots of love- The Bitting Bunch
