Annie went to have her 2-year checkup today. She's 24 lbs, 34" tall and doing very well. She didn't like the nurses but warmed up to Dr. Rachel. She will get a flu shot right after we get back from vacation in Oct. Maddie will be getting one too. The doctor recommended a daily vitamin for Annie and I suppose if we remember to do it, she'll get one. Kindof similar to we handle Madeline's vitamins. She/we remember about half the time.
Ryan returns from Vegas tonight. Thank goodness. I haven't been able to work out for two days. I am training for a short marathon and really need to get my tush into the gym to train. This weekend I plan to run 5k around the nearest lake to our house. I heard it's a nice run. Oh, I started running. I always hated running and thought I could never run, but it turns out to be pretty easy and I actually LIKE it! HA, I think it's pretty funny myself. My ultimate goal is to run a half marathon next September. We'll see how that goes!

You say it's your birthday (party)
As you can see Annalise celebrated her #2 bithday on Sunday. Grandma is going out of town so we celebrated a little early since her actual birthday is Sept. 29th which means we'll get to do this all over again with a little home celebration next Monday. You can never have too many birthday celebrations.
She had fun and was generally clueless that it was her party. She got a Pooh bear from Uncle Ron, moon sand from Aunt Mary and David, horsey blanket from Grandma and Grandpa and bath toys from Scott, Marcie, Ethan and Caden. Part of the bath toys are little foam dress ups that stick on the side of the tub and the other is a munical set of dolphins that each make their own note so you can play songs. We played with them all in the bath last night and they are very cool. It was fun! We would have had more fun if Annie wouldn't have put a stop to everything by going #2 in the bathtub. Boy was Maddie MAD!
The rest of the weekend was busy but relaxing. Madeline had yoga, dance and a birthday party on Sat. then we went swimming together. After the birthday party on Sunday we played games at home. Annie played with her birthday gifts from us which include a shape stacker and elmo puzzle. We also gave her a Radio Flyer tricycle that has a push bar attachement. She does really well on it by herself though she needs to learn to steer.

I almost forgot! How could I forget this. Madeline has a third loose tooth. It's the lower second left tooth. The center two are still growing in. She looks a little mangly right now and the poor thing inhereted some interesting teeth genes. Orthodontia is in her future for sure. The two top teeth are holding on strong. She has her six month checkup this week. Maddie would like the dentist to pull her loose tooth while she's there. Most likely that will be what happens.

Pics as of late
Cantelope from the garden
Annie at the State Fair
Maddie and I hung out at the art table while Ryan and Annie watched a water balloon toss
Madeline's favorite part of the fair: the birthing barn
Annie at the mall having fun with dad.
I'm trying to think of what is going on over here. It's pretty busy but seems to be settling down a little bit. Madeline started first grade and Annie still attends Montessori school. Madeline started dance class two weeks ago. She's enjoying class and I need to buy her some tan colored tap shoes. Usually they're black but I guess she's moving up in the dance world! Madeline also started kids yoga at our fitness club. She liked pretending to be animals during yoga poses. Annie will start dance class at the club next weekend.
We went to a birthday party last weekend for our friend Caden who turned two. Caden and his family are going to Disney World with us next month. We're all getting very excited. There's something like thirty days left. Annie will turn two in a couple of weeks and we'll have a birthday party for her this coming weekend. I wrapped the gifts a couple of weeks ago and they're just sitting on the fireplace. The girls have forgotten they're even there.
Ryan went to Vegas a week or so ago. He was there a couple of days and the in-laws came over to help. THANK GOODNESS! The girls are getting older now and it's easier when he leaves but things are still a little hairy since Annie is so little. Having the extra help is very much appreciated.
Work is going well. Ryan and I went to a banquet for his professional organization. I am pretty sure that the banquet hall hired a seedy bunch. I am pretty sure the bar attendant was a felon. ha ha ha My work is going well. It's extremely busy. I have planning commission this week and it will probably be long. Long and ugly. Well hopefully not ugly but let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if it was ugly. But it goes with the territory.
My workout routine has been going well. I think I mentioned before that I joined the fitness club to get fit for Disney. I quit snacking during the day and work out 5-6 days per week. I lost 7 pounds (no I wasn't trying to lose weight) and I can tell things are toning up. I go to pilates 2-3 times per week and do strength training at least 5 times each week. It seems to be going well.
