Jason is doing really well in school. He did pretty well on his last couple of tests and only has one more to complete is anatomy course. I feel very lucky to have him around as much as I do. He is balancing school, study, husband, and dad very well! Zoey loves when he comes home for lunch! She grins so big and crawls as fast as she can to him. He then proceeds to throw her around and tickle her until they are both worn out. Then he goes back to the school until dinner and sometimes goes back one more time to study for the rest of the night. That is a typical day!

Zoey is getting her top teeth now! The only problem is that she grinds her little bottom teeth with her new top ones and every time she does that it makes me cringe! She is such a happy baby! Recently we went to a little park in downtown Lewisburg that has a fountain (like the type at Gateway, but on a way smaller scale) and Zoey loved playing in the water! It was a little play date with three other kids and moms. All of the other kids are about 6 months older than her and it is so funny to watch her interact with them and steal their toys...the little thief! A day or so after her long day at the fountain we drove into Beckley and had a long day of shopping. We bought some fabric to make pillow covers for the couch and a cute family picture frame. She was good the whole time! She loves seeing new things and visiting new places. She has also been trying to stand on her own lately, but can only manage a few seconds at a time. Its amazing how excited Jason and I get from the little things. She stands for a second or two and we are SO pround! We clap and yell...she thinks its great!

I am loving spending so much time with Zoey! She is a lot of fun and makes me so happy! It's funny how things change once you have a baby. I used to be so busy with school and soccer and coaching and now I think the last time I touched a soccer ball was about 2 months ago (it's sad I know). I put all of my energy into being a good mommy and wife! I love it! I do have time for myself and right now that time is being used to train for the 1/2 marathon in November. I am getting really excited for it! It will be my 2nd 1/2 marathon this year and supposedly the Richmond marathon is the nations friendliest marathon. I am also getting really excited to go back to UTAH! I am leaving the 19th of Oct. and staying for 10 days! My awesome sister and brother-in-law made the trip possible with their delta sky miles, otherwise Zoey and I would get to come out. I can't wait for everyone to see Zoey!
