Has it really been 6 months?

Yes, I am horrible at blogging. I am going to sit down to find some time to tell everyone about the last few months. So, here we go ...

Noah turned 3 in May. He is getting so old. I can't believe it. He used to be just a tiny little boy.

Here are some pics of that day

He is now talking a lot more since starting therapy. We still have a hard time understanding him but he's doing better. HE LOVES incredibles and anything with superheros, especially iron man, which is funny because he's never even watched the movie.

He loves to run (still) and play with our dog, Packer (even though he doesn't really like playing back).

As a lot of you know I am a ZUMBA instructor and am obsessed with it. In July I got certified to teach children 4-12 years of age, it's called ZUMBATOMIC. Here are some pictures

Also in July we went to California to visit my real mom's side of the family in Peteluma. It was fun. We only stayed for a few days and I wish we stayed longer. Next time I guess.

In August Aaron's sister, Rachel, came to visit for a few days. It was so great to see her and spend time together. We took her to see Seattle since she's never been here before. I only have a few pictures because my camera was not working properly, but you get the idea.

Noah started preschool just recently and it was a success. No tears (from mommy or Noah). He rides the bus to school and I was just extremely nervous that he would freak out, but he didn't care he was too excited and just said BYE and waved. What a cute little boy, all grown up

Aaron's been doing really good. Just started school back up and will finish with his Associate's Degree in the spring. He is very excited to be getting closer and closer to his degree. He has started running more and has lost 40 lbs in like 3 or 4 months. I am pretty jealous because it has taken me over a year to lose 20 lbs. He's doing so well. He ran a half marathon in Sept and finished in 1 hour and 25 mins.

As for me? I am just working a lot and doing Zumba. It's really become a passion of mine. I hope to someday teach a few classes on my own but I don't have a whole ton of time to devot to that.

I am really exited for this time of year because it's Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love fall and everything that comes with it. Since Noah is developing more and more everyday I really want to teach him about the holidays what they mean and do crafts. We'll see how that comes. We will be doing a pumpkin patch excursion soon. More to come and hopefully it won't take me anthor 6 months to post.
