Yes, it's back to work for Colin! And me? I'm still looking for a new part-time job. My job at HDMS went back to full time so I had to resign. Oh well. I have an interview next week for another position in the district and have my application in with the county for an office position.
Our summer will close quietly. No big sends offs, per se, although Colin and I are going to the Garrison Keillor show tomorrow night in Portland with my parents which should be a blast. I grew up listening to his radio show and love his humor. Besides that, we really have spent the last month at home and taking care of projects and chores. Colin also spent a hefty amount of time finishing the rough draft of his manuscript. A few more months to go and he'll be done with his masters!
Besides us, Aberly is keeping us on our toes as she races around the house (crawling), pulls herself up on everything, and getting in to new things (like the pantry). Luckily she hasn't been interested in too many things she can't have. She loves her play table, any car keys, remotes, our cell phones, and her pop up toy.
Becoming more adventurous outside, Aberly has been exploring the plant beds and of course, enjoys grabbing dirt. The other day, she discovered a pot of dirt I had dug up from planting a bush and thought it was a great time. She threw the dirt around and in the end, finally took a sample of dirt. She wasn't too pleased.
Overall, things are grand and we are looking forward to the fall and heading towards lots of significant dates. Colin being done with his program and Aberly's 1st birthday!
