Blog Vacation Over

Well, Allen's week long vacation from last week is over, so I guess my blogging vacation should be over to eh? Not much to report.  We spent all of Allen's vacation inside escaping the horrible nasty record breaking heat that assaulted the midwest.  UGH! We watched alot of Netflix Star Trek Enterprise and ate alot of microwaveable food.  We did get out and about for the 4th of July.  Due to the excessive heat the annual big bbq at my mom and dad's was cancelled, however we did eat dinner at mom's.  Grandma Hazel rode with us too.  Sylvia had a lot fun with the American flag we let her hold for pictures.  She was wearing a dress that my mom saved for her.  It was a dress that I wore when I was a baby.  The chair she is sitting in was also a chair that I sat in as a little one. Pretty neat!

Sylvia now has two little teeth that have broken through that are so cute...and SHARP!  She is scooting around the living room backwards but still can't crawl forward.  This results in her getting stuck alot!
She can now sit herself up on her own! We had to drop the crib down because of this.  The next thing for sure will be pulling herself up.  She's already trying to do it now, but thankfully not successfully.  We've had to start buying things to baby proof, and let me tell you what, the manufacturers of the stuff we need really have our number! The stuffs not cheap!



Oh, and she's dancing to music! When the commercials come on with music she bops up and down with the music.  She LOVES music.  There have been a few times when I think she's even trying to sing along with me when I sing things like "Twinkle twinkle little start" and the ABC's to her.

Allen's new position in the tortilla room turns out to be a fairly decent job he says.  Not too hard, and not alot of "suits" running around as he puts it.  It's more laid back in the room he is in now vs the sauce room he was previously in.  This new schedule is one that is not ideal for my part time schedule at the library.  We're going to have to deal with it for hopefully only a couple more weeks.  Since this position has been forced on Allen he is still able to bid out into a different position when one becomes available.  Pray that one that fits our needed hours comes up soon!

I'm sure there's something else I should probably talk about , but it escapes me now.

Love you all!
