Update

So those are the pictures for now, I will have Halloween ones too, but I have to get them off of the camera first.
A bit of an update on us. I'll back up to June. We had a really great time with all the family and friends in town for Wyatt's birthday. He enjoyed himself and was thoroughly spoiled by gifts and attention.
In July Wyatt and I were sick off and on, but Christian stayed healthy and got a chance to go camping with Nathanael and a friend, Curt. He also continued to work at establishing himself in his new office, as well as work nights and weekends waiting tables.
August came and brought with it three more teeth for Wyatt. We also got to stay overnight by Gettysburg for the Mummert family reunion/picnic.
September was super busy. Wyatt and I with the Lancaster County Moms and Kids (LCMK) group and Christian stopped taking hours at the Roadhouse and became an assistant manager at the Spirit Halloween store working with my mom. We also got to visit Hershey Park for their Hurricane Relief fundraiser, what a fun time we had!
October was an even crazier time. I helped organize a teddy bear picnic, searched for a holiday party location, organized and hosted a 20 mom yard sale in our yard for the LCMK, also attended the Lighthouse Challenge (pictures posted below). Then the other assistant manager at the Spirit store quit with no notice so I went and filled in for a few weeks. It was a bit of a juggling act finding someone to watch Wyatt when we couldn't but it worked out. The other thing that happened in October was that we came to the decision that we needed to sell the house. As much as we were hoping we wouldn't have to, we feel that it's better to sell and have some family time, then to have Christian continue to work two jobs. He had to miss Wyatt's first time going door to door Trick or Treating, and moments like that are irreplaceable.
November is here! And so far the calendar is fairly empty but we will be celebrating the closing of the Spirit store by taking another trip to the NJ shore this Saturday. It's supposed to be a lovely 70 degrees. We'll take advantage of the mild weather while we can. Then hopefully we'll get an offer on the house and spend the rest of the month packing.
Other than that we are just enjoying life and watching our little boy turn into a full fledged toddler. It is truely an amazing experiance to watch his personality develop and see him learn about all the things around him. We are also truely blessed by the friends we have made here. It's wonderful to have people that stimulate you and are there for you when you need them.
