We got the opportunity to hang out with some friends and enjoy ourselves a bit before we hit third crop. It was nice. We're in full swing now and have one more week and a little to go and then we'll be planning for the elk hunt! :) YAY!!
Dani has been super busy. She's a MOVER! So so very curious and so so very FAST! She started crawling and then decided that her scoot/crawl was more productive to get her from there to here. She has since then figured out that there is definite speed pros to the whole "arms and knees" crawling and now it's sometimes a challenge to keep up! :) She just started pulling herself up to stand a couple days ago and is pretty good at it already! I can't believe how fast she is growing. 
Travis is trying to keep her from exploring through his legos! :) The solution was to set up a baracade of sorts but as you can see she still found a way to see what was going on />
We are teaching her sign language and although she can't quite form her hands to show signs to us yet, she does recognize some of them when I ask her if she is "all done" eating for example. It is so neat to see her smile and recognize that we are communicating on some level. She is just getting so big and I don't know what to do to keep her small! I guess we're not supposed to. A friend of ours pointed out that that is exactly what kids are "programmed to do." He's right. I should be happy about it and I am in some ways but still sad in others.
Well that is what we have been up to for the most part. I am still working on my transcription class and I am hoping that I will be done by the beginning of next year and will be able to find work that is conducive to me staying at home with Dani and still somehow "keep house." (I put it in quotes cause I don't know if you could call what I do keeping house. (: )
Hope things are going well for all of you out there. Till next time...
