September 2011

September was a rather relaxing month, no visitors, no special occasions, no travels; just a good month with our little family.  Aaron and I have been having fun doing some home updates.  We painted, stained, tiled, planted, decorated...  We're loving our home more and more and hope that we are able to stay here for a long time.  No too much else to touch on, just a good month of watching football and doing home improvement projects.  We were able to go on a couple dates thanks to grandma.  One in particular was super awesome.  Aaron won a $100 gift card to a steakhouse at one of his dental meetings.  They held the meeting at an indoor go-kart race track and there were prizes for the fastest racers.  Aaron put all of his racing experience to good use and won first prize.  We enjoyed the most expensive thing on the menu - a 10 oz filet mignon and lobster tai to each of us, with creme brule for desert.  Even with the $100 gift card we still walked away with a bill.  We definitely went all out.  We also were able to go on an amazing horse back ride through the San Tan Mountains.  Aaron and I love horses.  It was a very relaxing ride through the mountains as the sun came up. 

Grant is growing up so fast.  At his 9 week appointment he was 50% for weight and 75% for height.  Long and lean just how we like it.  He is now enjoying 1 oz of apple juice/day and a good night's sleep all through the night.  He makes us laugh every day with his "talking" and his smiling face.  He still loves being swadled at night.  Everyone thinks its sad that we put our son in a straight jacket to sleep, but he loves his monkey suit!

All tuckered out after his shots.  Poor little guy.
