Where Do I Even Start?!?

I know, I know...this is so not me to have not posted in a while. To tell you the truth, I've been a little burned out on the blog thing for the last little bit. For a while there it was new and exciting and I was better about it but it was taking up to much wasted time. Not totally wasted I guess considering I am using this for journaling and I love to update everyone on our adorable little Anaston who just gets sweeter, cuter, bigger, and smarter every day! But I do need to do an update, that's for sure! I'm gonna try and cram it all into a post or a few over the next week or so as I get time. We have been super busy!!! We took our trip to Michigan a couple weeks ago. It was loads of fun and nice weather there! Brian's team finished 30th in 200 teams so that's really good! The thing is, they were actually even alot better than that! They beat the really hard teams and had their losses to some not so good, kinda thrown together and a little trashy teams. It was just bad timing when they played those teams. In a reality, they were probabbly one of the top ten teams there, they had a great team and played well! Brian did unbelievable! He hit great and played first base really well. It was a great experience! Anaston changed alot on just that 5 day trip. She came back as most people have said,"A whole different baby!" Her face aged and looks older, she's way too fast with her crawling, pulling up on anything and everything over and over, standing by hersely, walking if we hold her hands, blowing kisses and biggest change...talking a TON!!! It's incredible anfd just amazing how smart she is! Everyone is just dying saying they don't know any babies her age talking like that! Ot's so true! She'll try and copy anything you say. She tells stories, uses her hands and just says so much in her own little language. The cutest thing, whenever you show her a picture of herself she smiles and points to herself and says,"ME?!?" Aw, my heart just melts. She's honestly just got the most unique and best personality you've ever seen. Everyone see's it. There's nobody like her. She is just a firecracker and such a good girl! She stands up in her bed every time she wakes up. I can always tell when she's awake now when I hear her on the monitor not crying, but talking and laughing. I'll go in there and she just tells me stories...all about her dreams. She plays catch with a ball with us. She has been teething this whole week. She had a top tooth break through two days ago but unfortunately for her, she's been working on two teeth at the same time so it's not over for her just yet. She's got her third bottom tooth about to come through as well. It's all swollen, poor thing. That will be four teeth! I hope she gets a nice rest after this! She's decided she's done with baby food. It's fun making her real food now and she loves it! I could go on and on but this is getting awfully long, I am leaving so much out! We're just staying busy with work, traveling, mommy and daddy duties, spending time with our friends and family, re-organizing and decorating our house and getting ready for the holidays! Yes, we are still planning on going private but I was just leaving it open for a bit to give most everyone the chance to see that's the plan and give me their e mail addresses so we don't leave anyone out but expect it within the next week! We've got just about everyone now. Here's a few pic's I still have on my camera. I'll have to post pictures later. I'm not at my house so I don't have access to all my many pictures! Oh, and a very exciting, new item on our agenda, we got Anaston her convertible car seat last week for turning ten months! She LOVES LOVES LOVES it! So comfy and so much more room...Woo Hoo!!!
