First airplane trip. He did awesome!

Sorry everyone who checks in on us. We have been crazy busy it seems and I finally decided I better update. My goal from now on is to try and blog at least every other day. Please keep me accountable.

Our trip to Iowa was awesome! We enjoyed the weather and people there so much! It was nice when we stepped outside and did not automatically start sweating. I got to catch up with alot of friends and family and it was great bringing Cohen around the old stomping grounds. We enjoyed our time at Grandpa's house and Cohen really starting developing a new trick. Smiling and talking alot! He is quite the little chatter box now and it is awesome! Alot of times at night when he is done eating we will lay him back in the crib and he just starts chatting away. He loves his mobile and starts to kind of yell when it stops so that we know to restart it. It is adorable! He is getting stronger and growing like a weed.

He had shots the end of June and boy did he not like that. Neither did mommy and daddy. He screamed for a good portion of the day and we did alot of rocking and snuggling.

I am on the count down for school to start. Having the extra month off has now put me in the situation that I am ready that much quicker. I love being home with Cohen, but I figured out that stay at home mom at this point is not quite what I am ready for. It will still be very difficult those first couple days away from him, but I am ready to get back to my room and get it set up for the new school year. That is one of my favorite parts. I get to have my OCD moment and usually get made fun of by the other teachers for having things so particular. You would never guess I have this problem if you look at my bedroom and the mess it is, I guess the classroom is different though. We are having some kind of jungle theme so I have been checking out the teacher's stores this week in hopes of finding stuff.

In two weeks Cohen and I will be making a second trip up to Iowa. My dad was part of a singing group quite a few years ago and they are doing some reunion like concerts lately. They had the first one back in March, but being so close to my due date, I was not able to go. Well, they are playing at my dad and Brenda's church on August 9 and dad(being the great guy that he is) is helping out by flying me up. I rarely missed a concert with them and I often would go early with dad and help, or at least try, with the set up and such. I am very excited! Well, I will stop for now but I hope this becomes more regular in the next weeks. Good night!
