I'm back!

After taking a few weeks off...we are back in the blogosphere again. It has been a busy time with some major milestones taking place in young Reagan's life.

1. We are fully potty trained! Took only a week once she decided she was ready to do it and once she decided, it was all the way. She is even finished wearing pull-ups at night. Nice.

2. Reagan's daycare was closed the last two weeks of August so she went to Spokane to stay with Lisa's mom and dad. She had a great time and at one point called to tell me that she was going to live with Grandma and Grandpa and not come home...that was until I got there to pick her up and then she did not leave my side. It was a nice trip for all of us. Reagan loves being with her grandparents (I am sure because they spoil her so much)!

3. Andrew has lost 60 pounds. You will not even recognize him. He is playing hockey again this winter and is an assistant captain. He also worked the PGA Championship when it was here in August. He was a media assistant and basically spent the last two rounds walking inside the ropes with Tiger. He also set up a lot of interviews and had a great time. My dad and I went out there on Friday so I was able to see Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia and my dad saw Tiger. It was a fun time.

4. We have a big fall planned with 2 trips to South Bend (Sept. 18 and Oct. 16) and a trip to San Antonio (Oct. 30) all for Notre Dame football games. Lisa has to go to Florida Nov. 8-12 for a work conference and then we are headed to Spokane for Thanksgiving. Lisa also has some major events coming up for work and Andrew is waiting to hear if he got a new job at work - so things are busy like always.

5. Reagan is also starting dance lessons in two weeks - tap and ballet. She is excited about the ballet. Not sure about the tap dancing. She also wants to start playing soccer, but she is too young to play in a league. Next year. She also has her mandatory school assessment test in two weeks making sure she is on the right track to start kindergarten. She doesn't go for 2 years yet so I am not sure what they are really looking for, but the state makes you do it.

That is about all with us...and of course Dancing With The Stars is starting soon. I will give my full report of the upcoming season in a soon to be published blog (teaser...not so excited about the cast.).

Here are some photos of the pumpkin from the last couple of months.
