Recently...

Gosh, more time has gone by and I haven't been posting anything. I guess I just feel like nothing is really new or interesting in our life.

Here is what we have been up to the last few weeks.

Two weekends ago was the 4th of July and we went to Lincoln for that. Pictures are at the end of the post.

Last weekend we decided to go down to the Farmer's Market and we got some awesome produce while there (which is all gone now). Todd took me to La Mesa - a Mexican restaurant. I had been craving Mexican for a while so it hit the spot.

This weekend I haven't done much. Just cleaning and hanging out with my two boys.

Xander is so much fun right now. He is babbling all of the time and saying more words. In addition to the normal few words he is saying, he can now say shoes, dog and juice. Ok, I know that is not that exciting but for us it is. He has also learned where his nose, eyes, mouth and ears are. That is fun too.

Work has been pretty busy so that is good. I have recently been debating about applying for another job within the company. The pay would be better but it would require some travel. More on that later.

I suppose that is about it. Here are pics from the 4th!

A few fountains - sorry for the bad picture quality!


Some more fountains. Looks hazy!
