The first thing I remember is Labor Day weekend. Thank goodness for a 3-day weekend! Any extra time with Karmann is precious!! The main event for the weekend was a trip to St. Pete to see the Rays play the Detroit Tigers. We made the trip with Jon and Kendra Ippel (who came to FL from Michigan). We also met Kris' sister Keri and Choy and Amara at the game too! It was a good game, better company, and to top it all off, the Beach Boys played a concert after the game. Though the concert was a little bit of a let down in my opinion, we can check that concert off Kris' list! It was a late night, but really fun hanging with Jon and Kendra - hopefully Karmann, who was on her best behavior as usual, convinced them to get on the ball!!
All I remember doing on Sunday is sleeping and hanging out with Karmann. That sounds like a good combination for any day!! Oh- I think i went to the grocery store too.
Monday we took advantage of the extra day and went up to my dad's for a cook out on the grill. Karmann also took a little swim in her little pool on the back patio. She loved showing off for Grandpa!! Check out tha adorable pictures, once I get them uploaded.
This last week was pretty busy at work and after. Kris has started teaching again one night a week, usually, however he covered for another class this week. I also was asked to do a presentation at my supervisor's class at Rollins College on Thursday, so our evenings were out of the ordinary. Karmann was excited, though, because Thursday night she visited Pam Jorgensen who watched her while Kris and I were teaching. She probably wore Pam out, but she had a great visit!
Karmann's days were also busy! She moved into the "big kids" room - which is the infant room before the 1 year old room. She is now back together with her little girl friends Samantha and Emma. They are too cute when they are all together! They talk and gossip and have a good old time. Karmann even took 3 steps by herself on Wednesday at daycare, they said!! She was standing by herself for a few seconds too when I picked her up, but we couldn't get her to walk again. We've been practicing each night since, though she tries, she won't let go of our hands!
Karmann doesn't know it yet, but she's only going to be at her current daycare for two more weeks. I have been wanting to change her for a while, but I finally took the initiative to look for another place this week. I contacted the church that we originally wanted her in, and another one that our friends recommended. I toured both, and luckily both had availability. We ranked the current place and the other two, and our original first choice won by 1 point. So, we are going to enroll her at the end of the month. We will be saving $100 a month, and all the food and diapers are included in the price too! Also, the location is literally across the street from Kris' office, so the decision was a no-brainer! I hope she likes it and makes friends quickly at her new place. I'm sure there will be a blog or two about the transition.
Karmann is coming up on her 9 month birthday next weekend. I can't believe it. I am already trying to prepare for that blog... I'll save it for next time.
A few of the photos are blurry because they were taken on my iphone, but cute none the less :) Enjoy!
