Snippets.

We leave in less than a week for Washington! Initially when we booked the trip I wanted it to be here NOW. Well, it's "now" and I'm not ready to go. I have so much to do in so little time- I've been putting in some good hours at work this week (leaving zero time for tidying up the house), and I'd like to sneak in a trip to the state fair before we go.

I've mentioned over and over that I'm so glad fall is here; part of what makes it feel like fall in Kansas (besides the weather and gorgeous colors) are huge sunflowers EVERYWHERE. I mentioned to Jon how pretty they were and how much I wanted to pick some. Later that evening he disappeared on his dirt bike and returned with a bouquet of sunflowers. Wow- He does listen!
Very pretty even though they're dropping yellow dust all over the kitchen table, huh?

Cameron had his 9 month appointment this morning. Dad took him because I was working, but he told me that they "provided the entertainment" while they were at the office. That seems about right on- they are always being obnoxiously loud and doing some type of acrobatic trick testing my patience. Thankfully Cameron didn't have to get any shots, but he managed to come home with stickers all over his clothes! I wonder who was responsible for that?

I haven't really taken many pictures of Cam this month- but I hope to do a 9 month shoot in Washington.

This has been a fun month! It's awesome to see him learning, and making connections to sights and sounds. He can always hear airplanes, dogs, and ducks before I do. He loves to be chased around the house. He loves grilled cheese sandwiches and blueberry waffles. He also loves to sit on top of daddy's shoulders while he pulls weeds. We love him and can't get enough!
