A busy month, a paucity of blog entries

Alas, here we are in early August!!! Another month without any blog updates. July is always crazy with new residents coming in and work being a zoo.

I can't think of much exciting that happened in July. Got some house stuff done, ran around like a headless chicken, etc.

But today, Elizabeth took a few steps without assistance before sitting back down, which lasted a whole 10 seconds but had us giddy. However, now she's caught on to my "mommy holding the towel" trick, and sits down the minute I let go.

Spent last weekend in Kansas City for work, which was a pretty fun time. It wasn't too hot, for once, and was just eventful enough without being overwhelming. Now I have one day of work, then we leave for a camping trip.

Oh - and the AC died while I was gone. Fun. Especially when it's 95 outside. Hopefully they'll be here this week to put in a new unit. Cha-ching!

AND - we got our trees trimmed (they're all enormous and old), so now we have a 20x5x5 foot pile of mulch in the backyard. And a huge burnt spot out front where their hydraulic truck sprung a leak.

Moral of the story: If you plan on your AC going down, don't have your trees trimmed. Shade is good.

Time for bed, more later. Bless my husband for jerry-rigging the old attic fan to blow cool air into our stale bedroom so we can sleep with comfort.
