It looks as thought we've made it! I've survived my first week of going back to work (and not being home with Austin). More importantly, I think Daddy has survived, too! With Adam playing Mr. Mom, I'm sure that this change in routine has taken some getting used to. It hasn't been easy, but I think we're in the clear. We've made it!
I don't think you could tell that things have changed from watching Austin. He has had a week full of fun...and smiles. On Wednesday, he had his first ride in Grandpa Smith's mail car, rode in Daddy's big farm truck, attended a Rotary meeting, and spent afternoons with daddy at the store. He must have really been worn out though. He was napping every time I went to see him after work.
All 3 of us have enjoyed watching the Olympics these past couple of weeks. The litte guy can be found with his eyes fixated on the television, fully observant of the color and movement on the screen. I think he learned tons from watching the men's swimming competitions! A lot of times you can find Austin fully extended with his arms above his head and his legs kicking. I found myself telling Adam that we may be looking at the next great "Michael Phelps!" Only time will tell! :)

Back to the Grinding Stone
Austin sure is growing! We had our 2 month check-up yesterday and the little guy weighed in at 11 lbs. 15 oz. and 20 1/2 inches!
I started back to work today (with students). Austin slept pretty well last night, making it a little easier to get up and get going today. Adam is watching him during the day while I'm at work, so I'm sure that they are out checking on the cows and buffalo, driving the farm truck, and getting lots done before heading back to town. They spend the afternoons at the Weskan Mercantile, the store that Adam and I opened here in Weskan.
Its a little crazy, but we've had over 6+ inches of rain here since August 1st. Yep, that's right - 6 inches! The grass is green, the cows and buffalo are happy, and the hay is growing! Who ever thought that RAIN could be such a blessing!?!
