End of Summer

Wow, I don't know what happened to the time, the days and weeks have just flown by. After being home for over a year it has been hard to get in the swing of things now that I am working. I love my job, I am a deliver driver for a dental lab and spend my day visiting dentist offices, they have the nicest people. I work two weeks and then I am off a week. The Schedule is great giving me my time with Talen while Jerylin works.

It has been a long hot summer and since Talen and I love to be outside much of our time has been in the pool or with the hose as we try to keep the plants alive in the heat. Today we spent the morning out planting some fall flowers and some tomatos and squash. There is more planting to be done but it will have to wait. It is good to get out and get dirty, Talen is a great help and loves planting right along side me.

We try to visit others while Talen is over, our breakfast with Great Grandma and Grandpa Klettlinger are always a good way to start the day. Great Grandma and Grandpa Kennedy help babysit here and there so that Jerylin can work, it is a lot of fun for all three of them. Having lunch with Uncle Adam is always a good time and Adam gets him to eat all kinds of stuff.

We ran into Pappa one day while we were at the vet with little Teila. Talen thought it was great fun to drive Pappa's big truck and now when ever he sees a Fed Ex truck he waves hi to his Pappa.


Jerry had hernia surgery this summer and was off work for a few weeks. Of course he wasn't alone. Talen and Pappa had a lot of one on one time while Jerylin and I were at work. It was funny because Jerry never watched his own kids for more than an hour by himself let alone all day. The two of them have such a special relationship and it is wonderful to see them together.

We went to pump it up where there are all kinds of things to do indoors, too hot to go outside. Talen got his Pappa to try all the stuff and it's not easy climbing around on those air filled slides.

Water is your friend in Arizona and Talen loves it. In the pool or at the water park Talen loves it.

It is hard to believe our little baby will be two years old in a week. He is growing up so fast and has really brought so much joy into our lives. How blessed we are to be able to spend so much time with all our family.
