I guess this is where I put the cliché "We've been busy so I haven't had a chance to post" post... We have been busy, but not so busy that I couldn't find a couple of minutes to update the website. It's just that when I get two minutes of downtime, I've been taking the downtime to spend it with Heather and the kids, and not uploading photos or updating here or facebook (in fact, I don't think I've even logged on to facebook in the last two weeks, except to respond to some email notice that was sent to me). Most of the time I spend on the computer now (when I'm not at work, and even sometimes when I am at work and it's slow) is at geocaching.com. We're over 50 finds now, and I think it's safe to say we're hooked. Well, I'm hooked anyway - I think the rest of the family enjoys the time out together too!
So, aside from GeoCaching, what's been going with the Richmonds? Well, the biggest news is that we'll be moving in to a place of our own in October. We are very VERY grateful to Heather's parents for allowing us to stay with them, but we're anxious to have a place of our own again. We found a nice little 3 Bedroom place in a quiet neighborhood, and our favorite part of the house is the big fenced-in backyard! When I do finally get around to uploading photos, there will be some of the house there.
Hannah and Mason are both growing up so quickly. The hardest part about bookfair season is being away from them for most of their waking hours during the week. By the time I see them at the end of a week, they seem so much more grown up than the last weekend!
Mason is now running everywhere, and he learned to go down stairs on his own last week. It's cute to watch. He'll lay on his tummy about 6 feet from the top of the stairs and slide back until his feet find the first step. I guess it's good that he's so cautious! No accidents yet!
Hannah is becoming such a big girl! She started AWANA a couple of weeks ago and is just eating it up! She's got four verses memorized already!
Bookfair sales have been off to a good start this season. Heather is helping her dad run the Aultman event in Canton. I've been unable to help with many of his bookfairs this season since Rick's got a full schedule from the start of September right through Christmas. I've been putting in 55-60 hour weeks for the past few weeks, and they're only going to get busier as the season progresses. I'm thankful for the hours, as every dollar counts for us right now, especially with the added commitment of renting a home!
