Trystan and Madalyn

It's been a little bit of a lazy summer.  Not having a van for over a month left us hitching rides with friends and sitting around the house most of the time.  Madalyn is 8 months and 3rd week!  She is crawling and into everything!  She is brave trying to take steps and letting go when she stands. She LOVES junk food!  Just like her Jannie, one of the ladies in the family she is named after, Ramona- her late Great Grandmother.  She has a Maditude!  We adore her as well as Trystan.  Trystan is the best big brother!  He is growing so much.  8 years sure did fly by!  He has had so much fun with all of his friends out here.  One good thing about living in the towers is your friends are almost always nearby!  Trystan is getting ready for the 3rd grade!  He is excited.  We have been doing schoolwork this summer to keep him fresh.  Douglas finally has some time off.  First time since paternity leave, and ladies you feel my pain bc paternity leave means they are running around getting our babies enrolled in DEERS, Tricare, Admin, SSN and Birth certificate.  That in and of itself takes up all the days.  I have lots to say so I'll break it all up!
