KATE GOES TO THE FAIR

Two posts in one day-I am going for a record!! Last Sunday, Scott and I took Kate to the State Fair and boy did she have a ball. It was so hot, but she was a trooper. Unfortunately, I only took this one picture of Scott and her on the carousel. She was totally unimpressed with the carousel, but she thought that the giant slide was the bomb. Scott rode it with her 2 times and she could have done it a million more if we would let her. I would attach the video I took of them riding the slide if I had a clue how to cut out the 10 minutes I filmed of them just climbing all those steps!

It's been a LONG time.....

When I looked at the date of my last post, I was extremely embarrassed!! So much has happened in the Jasper family since July. We have sold one house, bought another and moved in, and of course school started back. We are finally settled in the new house (new to us, not new construction). You should all be receiving our moving card with our new address in the next couple of days. I was slow getting to those too! I don't want to miss a single Christmas card of anyone's beautiful babies!

It is hard to believe that Kate will soon be 20 months old. Time sure flies. It seems like just yesterday that Scott and I were bringing her home from the hospital. She is a busy girl these days and into EVERYTHING! She talks nonstop and I have NO idea where she gets that from! She is obsessed with Dora the Explorer and Blue's Clues. I had no intention of ever letting her watch TV before the age of 3, but oh well, that's just another of those things I have eaten my words on.

I came home from school yesterday with the stomach virus and thought I was literally going to die! I spent the entire evening quarantined from Scott and Kate. Poor Scott probably felt like a single daddy, but I'm sure he loved spending a little one-on-one time with Kate. She is in that stage of clinging to her mommy like glue and Scott doesn't get a lot of her attention these days.

Please keep me in your prayers this week. I am going to the doctor on Monday for some blood tests. I have basically felt rundown since the beginning of August. I had just been attributing it to the move and school starting and chasing Kate, but I can't seem to find an inkling of energy to do much of anything. I'm hoping it is as simple as a B12 deficiency or something. He'll probably just tell me what I already know -- get busy loosing that baby weight and you'll feel a 100% better.

More posts soon.....
