August Over... Wha????

As I write this, the clouds are rolling in outside and the high temp is only about 100, which is so pleasant. It's about to rain and it has been raining at least once a week this month... which I don't remember from our two previous Augusts out here in the valley of the fun.

Over the past month, we have had a lot of fun! J has moved up to the official Preschool classes at his school. He is in the big boy 3-yr-old class and he LOVES it! He is learning so much and enjoying all of the new structure in his class.

This month we decided to go on a family camping trip. It was a ton of fun and, well, a trip we will never forget! It was a gorgeous plot with a view of Lake Lynx: And, here's a pic of all of us at the campsite:
And, I couldn't resist this pic opp of J on his travel potty out in the woods:


Now for the Giules! She is 8 months and officially mobile! She put crawling together ON her 8 month birthday. She is not very speedy but crawls about 5-6 feet and then stops and sits and plays. It's really funny. Here's a video of the crawler in action:

And, lastly, a little month to month comparison. A pic of Giules at 8 months, standing on the piano bench:


Then, a picture of Joseph at 8 months standing at the same bench:

And... on a closing note...
