End of July/August

My first New Years resolution of 2012 is to get my blog current. We just got home from the hospital with Kenai and I want to post pics, but decided I must at least try to catch up the last couple months.

Greg surprised us by growing a beard and mustache while we were in Alaska. He has never had facial hair before and none of us really knew what to think about. Well, Alexis DID NOT like it and made him shave it a week later. I did think that he looked good, but definitely had to get used to him looking this way.

Paxton REALLY missed his daddy while we were gone!And he was very interested in the beard!

After we returned from Alaska, Greg's Mom had a retirement party and his brother Blaine's family was visiting from Indiana. So we enjoyed some more family fun and cousin time.

Our neighbor Abby who is friends with Alexis left these Welcome Home notes on our front door for us.
We grew our first garden last year, but leaving for a month led to us growing a lot more weeds than vegetables. We did get some peas, beans and carrots that were yummy and fun to pick.
We got to spend a weekend at Grandma Dart's cabin which is always an anticipated summer event. It is tradition to give baths in the deep sinks.
In August Greg was busy with the Ambassador retreat and school starting. I am PTA Treasurer and was busy with meetings and Back to School events. We had an ultrasound to find out we are having a BOY! And Alexis had her first day of 2nd grade.
Denali also started preschool. I put her in 2 preschools this year, one at the elementary school and one with Miss Heidi who she had last year. They both are 2 days a week, so she gets to go to school 4 days a week which gives Paxton and I some time to hang out together.
