What happened to September?!?!?

Can I just say-Holy Cow! October is next week!!!!! September flew by and we really weren't all that busy.

Jake had a rough week dealing with poison ivy on his face and ear! Nice, huh? It was pretty nasty by the time he finally went to the doctor. He came home popping pills and said, "I might get mean." What?!?! He was given steroids to clear up the ickyness and appearantly a common side effect is mood swings. Thankfully, he never experienced such side effects-at least not at home! :) (By the way, I tried to Google Image a picture for this and I gave up because all I got was real pictures of the plant and a gazillion pictures of the character from Batman-I've never seen that movie I guess...)

Isaac had two more teeth come through-both bottom molars. He is now crawling for real and can walk, just usally chooses to crawl. At his 15 month check up (a week before he was 16 months) he was 21 pounds-still a little guy, but healthy as can be.

I am growing every day-here's a picture to prove it! I am about 20 weeks now and comparing with pictures from Isaac, I don't think I'm all that much bigger. :)

We were able to watch the Iowa-ISU game earlier this month (Go Hawkeyes!). The women all made 27 quarts of applesauce while the kids and men watched the game actually. (Jake was quite intrigued with the new attachment to his mom's KitchenAid so he helped once the game was over-he even went back home to get more apples!) All but 3 quarts of that was from apples off our tree and we still have 567,389,929,548,321 apples left. (Really, I counted them all!). If you live near me and want some apples, PLEASE come take some. They're not great eating apples, but they are fine for canning. (All sales are final and the charge is nothing!)

I got busy yesterday with Isaac's scrapbook and did 12 more pages. Sad thing is, I still have like 30 to do before I am caught up. The problem is that Isaac thinks he can help so I can only work while he's taking his nap and I usually have other things to do during that time (like update this good ol' blog). Some day I'll get there. This is current condition of my dining room thanks to yesterday's marathon scrap attack.

I was a part of Kristan's Fall Swap-my first swap ever! Thanks Mary for all the goodies-I hope I remembered to regather everything for the picture. What a fun thing to do! Happy Fall everyone!

And a baby update-we still have no names, please feel free to send ideas our way, whether or not they start with an "H" as Jake has strangely requested.
