It's already mid-August; things have been busy and I'm getting behind on the blog. Summer school is over for James - he finished his wood-fire class a few weeks ago, and we celebrated by taking a family vacation down to Phoenix for a few days. Beyani got to swim in the pool for the first time! My parents came for a visit recently; we went down to Sedona for a day, and my dad and I started building a bench - my first woodworking project since the baby was born. Our trip to the Bay Area was busy but fun. It was just too bad we couldn't stay a little longer.
We're in the rainy season here in Flagstaff, but we still get out for walks almost every day. The woods run up to our backyard, so we walk amongst the trees, and Beyani loves it. School starts in a week - James has a full course load, and I'm taking two classes - one for a certificate in Systems Administration and Security and one for a web design certificate. James and I are still going to be able to take turns with Beyani, so she won't have to go to daycare (we just won't see each other much :( ).
That's it for now! We hope everyone is doing great, and wish you happy summer days.
