Such and Such

Life here is going pretty well, except that both Austin and Isaac have decided that sleep is optional. Austin has a cold, and since he has a hard time breathing naturally anyway--the snot definitely isn't helping. And for some reason Isaac doesn't really like his bed anymore. The timing is fantastic--I actually thought things were coming into a sense of normalacy. 

I like the effect of less sleep on typical conversations. The best one happened during the night a couple days ago.

"I think Austin just woke up." (Jensine)

"That can't be good for John McCain's campaign" (Aaron)

It's been a lot of fun the last week or so in the mornings. I have an exercise buddy now, and so Isaac and her son have a blast together in the morning. I love the reaction when Rees (Isaac's friend) walks in the door. Usually it's running about with excited squeals, or just chanting his name over and over again. It's so nice to get out in the morning to go running. I'm pretending it's still summer and wearing shorts outside, but I think that illusion can only last another week or so. 

Aaron got a job interview with JAG in St. Louis on October 28th. Woo hoo! We're all going to take a road trip down, and hopefully Aaron will be able to demonstate some fantastic interviewing skills. At first I wasn't as excited for him to go into the military, but after he explained more about it and seeing how excited he is about it as a potential job--I hope it works out.  

Here are a couple pictures of the kiddo's going about their regular days. Isaac putting every single car he can find into his yellow truck, and Austin with his ginormous smile trying to lure you into playing with him.
