I haven't posted much in August because things have been a little chaotic. Where do I even begin? Shelby turned 2 months old, she is holding her head up really well and she loves when you let her attempt to stand up. She is giving more and more grins all the time. She is such a happy, easy going little girl. She is doing really well sleeping through the night. She goes to bed somewhere around 9pm and sleeps until 4:30 or 5 am. I would prefer she slept a little later in the morning, but it's nice to get to spend a little time with just her before I go to work.
Jenna turned 18 months old on the 3rd. She has been busy learning her body parts. She can presently identify her nose, tummy, foot, and head. We are working on knee, elbow, eye, and ear-which she gets right sometimes. Her vocabulary is growing leaps and bounds. I got her up this morning and she was singing parts of her ABC's she gets ABCDE, QRS, and W,XYZ. It is hard to understand, but she definately has the tune down. She has also started saying "hot-dog" and "popcorn". She has been showing lots of interest in talking and repeating what we say. I have been trying to teach her "I love you" but she is having trouble with "love". As for potty training, she has been going on the potty at least twice a day. She is DONE with it by about 4 pm and litterally throws a fit sitting on the potty of an evening. I am proud of her for the accomplishment she has made thus far. She is aware of when she needs to go, most of the time she tells me, we just don't always go while sitting on the potty.
As for me, I am on my third week working for Farm Credit (FCS). It is quite different than I was used to at UK. I was thrown into things much quicker with UK, FCS is spending a lot of time and focus on training. The first week was spent doing computer trainings, and getting all the paperwork and logistics of a new job complete. The second week I worked in the Sullivan office where I will be stationed when I become a full blown ag lender. I drove around with the guy that is leaving my post in Sullivan to go back to school. We spent 3 days driving around and meeting some of the farmers in the area that do business with Farm Credit. It was nice to get out of the office for a few days. I am back in the Evansville office for a while shadowing a guy that has been with the company 5 years. I won't say I love my job yet, but I think I will like it once I am out on my own, working full-time in Sullivan.
As for Lance, he has been busy with Vincennes Tractor. The guys are gearing up for fall and that is definately going to keep him busy. He is getting ready to go to Cincinnati, OH for a few days for "New Product Introduction" Last year, he went Omaha for this, so it's definately closer to home this year. When he comes home, it will be interesting to hear about all the new technologies and equipment that John Deere is rolling out.
