A Lot Has Changed!

Alright, so I've gotten enough grief from everyone about not updating my blog and thought I should set aside some time to do so! I'm not sure where to start, it's been awhile. Summer is flying by. I feel like it just got here, yet it's half over already! We've been very busy. Our time has been taken up with visits to the cabin, afternoons at the lake (Mom and Dad's), family get togethers and of course a few playdates thrown in too!

I've been back to work now for 4 months. Now that Griffin in older it's not so bad, but there are still days I wish I could stay home with him! Works going well though. The atmosphere is very family friendly, which is wonderful!! I have a lot of support from all the other mothers I work with. I haven't been running much this summer (which I miss) but Griffin and I do manage to get a few walks in here and there when the bugs aren't too bad! Also, I've continued yoga on Monday nights. Other than that, being a mom doesn't leave much time left for anything else! But it's wonderful and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Josh continues to be busy at Lange Trenching. The work started really slow this spring, as most contruction workers did. It has picked up now, and we just hope it stays busy. When he's not working, his been spending a lot of his evenings and free time out and our land. We are getting ready to build a shed this summer yet. We decided not to sell our house for another few years, with the housing market the way it is, we decided to wait a bit. So Josh has been busy getting the driveway in and meeting with various contractors.

I know I've said this before, but Griffin continues to amaze us every day!! He sits up by himself like a big boy and is flirting with the idea of crawling now that he's got rolling mastered! His favorite sound to say is BABABABABA and he says it regularly! It's fun to pretend to carry on a conversation with him! I did stay home for the first time with home not long ago because he had a fever ( I think it was harder on me than him!) I started the day at work and couldn't stop thinking about him being sick, so my co-workers sent me home at 9:30 and said I should be with my baby! (See what I mean, great support from the co-workers!) Griffin survived and so did I! He has gone to his daycare a couple times now. This fall he will leave Grandma's and start there full time. There is another little guy there about 2 months older than Griffin and it's fun to see the two interact! Although we will really miss Grandma's, I think being around the other kids will be good for him and so far we really like his daycare mom!

Well, I think that about brings the Lange family up to speed. I'll try not to wait so long for another update, but I'm not promising anything:-) Hope everyone is doing well, Congrats to the VanBecks on their baby girl, I can't wait to see the pics!
