time passes on....

I can't believe summer has come and went...the smell of Fall is in the air, the leaves are slowly starting to change color and kids are back in school.
We have done lots of fun things this summer and ventured all around Beaverton to different parks, playgrounds and water fountains. We were lucky to go to Utah for 10 days and visit with family and friends. Mikaila asks everytime if we can just move there all ready. Sometimes I think it would be nice to be close to family and then I am always reminded by family why it is nice to live away!
Life has been busy as always and work is going well. I only wish I could say the same for my marathon training. I only have one month until the marathon and I havent ran in almost a month, doesnt look promising. First it was my knee and then I got a kink in my neck when we went to Utah, then got Bronchitis and have had it for almost two weeks and this morning I woke up with a major stitch in my ribcage like I bruised something internally from coughing so much!! Seriously is this happening to me!
The kids are doing great. Mikaila starts preschool on Thursday I can't believe she will be four in just a few weeks. She is so funny and makes me laugh all the time I wish I could bottle her up and take her out in doses. Isaak is saying so much and its so clear. He is the sweetest boy EVER!! His face melts my heart.
Mikael and I are doing great! I only wish we got more one on one time together. We spend a lot of our time with others, by ourselves or with the kids. I think a mandatory date night should be in place!! (I'll work on that and keep you posted)
Also I have been trying to come up with ways to make money and start a business selling hair bows. I've come up with a name called THE PINK PIXIE and will debuting shortly just working out the logistics. I'm really excited!! Stay tuned...
