Not much going on...

Thinking of things to write has become more of a challenge over the last 6 months. We have been up to things... but I just don't take the time to write it down. Well, I will write another 'update' post, and then I will work on posting things as they happen next time.
Hmm... how far back to go?
I'll start with moving into a place of our own. As you know, Ben got a full time job that provides a steady income and health benefits, which has been absolutely amazing! We can finally budget again, and are working towards being debt free... again! Our townhome is wonderful. We bought the minimum amount of stuff that was needed to move us in, but there is still a lot of stuff we need! As we get debt paid off, and save some extra money, we'll fill it in. For now, it is just fine. We spend so much more time as a family, and that is something we haven't been able to do in a long time!
I have been working towards potty training Noah. That has been a nightmare. It is probably just me... I just don't have patience for this kind of thing. You work and work and work, and they still mess up their underwear/pull-up/diaper. It has been the most challenging part of parenthood so far. Anyway, we are far from trained... and I am at a loss for more ideas.
The summer went way too fast! It was pretty fun though. We went to a Rockies game on the 4th of July. That was a blast! We went to the Zoo for the first time with Noah. He loved it. We spent time with extended family at a couple family reunions. We watched Noah grow up even more... he loves the park and the big kid jungle gym. We are going to Glenwood Springs this coming weekend for some pool time. We are going to another Rockies game... oh and it is football season again... the start of fall.
That's where we are. Our daily routine is pretty set now. Our exciting news for the fall is our trip to Oregon in October. I am definitely not ready for winter or cold weather, but alas, it will come and I will get through it. :)
