Yep, that's about all I have to say for this week. Life is Good! Nothing much going on here, for the moment. I think we are in the calm before the storm. Fall is such a busy time of year and things are about to start kicking into gear in the next few weeks. I am looking forward to the changes. Tyson starts Mother's Day Out on September 2nd, or Big Boy School as we call it. He will go on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-2. I am considering dropping him down to just one day a week, but we will see how busy things are and how he does. Please keep this transition in your prayers as it was not a good one in Searcy! I am optimistic though and think he should do fine.
Work is going well for me right now, though there will be a lot of changes once school starts back. I will not be able to work much during the day, which I didn't know until we moved here. So, I may be doing a lot in the afternoons, or looking for something else that works better with my schedule. We will see how it all pans out once things get going.
Tyson must be in a growth spurt or just a major transition phase because his sleeping is totally out of whack! He used to sleep 11 hours at night and then take 2 two hour naps in the day. Now he has started sleeping about 12 or 13 hours at night, and daytime naps are totally unpredictable at best! He still takes them, just at random times and for random lengths of time. The weird part is that he now naps through the whole middle of the day since he is waking up later in the mornings. We have been eating lunch around 2pm when he wakes up, which is a little strange! I thought he was trying to get rid of one of his naps, but maybe we are just adjusting them for now. Thank goodness he decided to do this right before he starts to school, since that will make things so much fun!! (note the sarcasm here!!!)
Here is a cute picture of Ty and my dad when he was here to visit last week. We had a good time having him here and are glad he will get to stay with us more when he comes up for work:) Aren't they cute?!?!?
We have been enjoying having family time together and just spending some lazy days around the house for the most part. The cooler weather has me sooo excited for the coming of fall. My jogging in the evenings has been so much nicer as a result too. Silas just completed his draft for fantasy football, so we are getting ready to go into football mode here in the coming weeks. I can't wait to watch me some good football! We have really been enjoying the Olympics too. We are hoping to get to take Tyson to a Harding football game this fall, as well as a Red Wolves game here in town at ASU. He is so aware of things going on around him and active, so I think he will enjoy being outside a lot this fall. Everything is good here, and we are excited for the upcoming season and all of the activities it will bring.
Oh yeah, I am finally starting to take some pictures of the inside of the house, now that things are a little more put together. I will be posting those soon hopefully!

It's completely normal for kids to alter their sleep schedules around 1 year of age. Corban did the same whack-a-doodle sleep thing when she was that age. She went from sleeping 10-11 hours at night and taking both a morning and late afternoon nap to sleeping 12-13 hours at night and taking one nap starting anywhere from 11 to 2, which did indeed make lunchtime weirdo. It took a month or more for her to find a new schedule that worked for her and phase out her second nap but it did eventually work itself out. As you know, mommyhood requires that we be flexible. :-)
Glad to see you're doing so well. Tyson is getting cuter by the day!! We'll miss seeing you guys around at MOPS and Chio events. :-(
Yay for football season! We got Jude a Colts outfit that's a little too big, and have been furiously feeding him so he can grow into it before reg. season starts:) Are ya'll going to Nashville Friday night or Sat. morning? We're going Fri. night, late.
With kids, you think you have a schedule down and then bam!, they change it on you. For example, Olivia gave up her two naps a day about 3 months ago. She would get up about 7:30 a.m., nap about 1:00 p.m., and then go to bed about 7:00 p.m. Now the schedule is getting up at 8:00 a.m., nap about 10:30 a.m., go to bed about 8:00 p.m. She is also going through a growth spurt and starting to eat me out of a house and home. I think Ty is just going through a growth spurt.
Glad to hear you are all doing well and adjusting to life in Jonesboro.
We are going to try and take a trip this fall to Indiana and are talking about making a stop at y'alls place, would that be ok?
