It's Tuesday...

1. Clark has been gone hunting the past 6 days, so being the pathetic scaredy cat that i am, Abbie and i stayed at my parent's house. It was a nice Labor day weekend - we had our annual 3rd Sunday dinner (on the 5th Sunday, i know) and it was great to see the fam. We always enjoy our monthly get together to celebrate birthdays and laugh a lot.

2. My youngest sister, Tara, recently returned from Jerusalem from a study abroad. We know she had a wonderful time, but we're thrilled that she's home. she was missed!

3. Abbie has discovered a new way of getting around other than rolling from point A to point B. Yes, she army crawls. I love it... i seriously think it's fabulous. The only issue we're having is our house is quite tiny and she only gets about 3 strides in before she runs into a wall or some piece of furniture. darn!

4. I am adoring the cooler weather. Fall is my favorite! i love wearing jackets and sweatshirts. I'm excited for sleeping with the window open and getting Abbie bundled up for our morning walks.

5. I had a rather unfortunate incident last night - i sort of caught my pinkie toe on one of the doorways in our house and ripped my toenail off - well it was still attached, but barely. Gross i know, i kinda freaked out and chose to just put a band aid on and ignore it. When Clark got home he insisted i pull it off. OUCH! i couldn't get myself to do it, so Clark was brave and amputated. I'm sad to be missing my toenail, but my mom thinks i might get a discount next time i get a pedicure :) sorry for the graphic details.

I know i should stop at 5, but i think this needs to be said. Recently Clark and I were debating about something and we discovered i was right and i sort of yelled out "booya" (coinciding with a fist pump). Clark was extremely embarrassed for me, honestly when was the last time you heard or used the word "booya"? that's what i thought. well, i'm bringing it back. Go ahead ... say it, you know you want to - it feels really good :) i just thought i needed to document this so in a year from now, when "booya" is huge i can rightfully take credit!
