September Excitement

So, another month has come and gone, and Fall has pretty much arrived - Hooray!  Our little family is doing so well.  Kathryn is now almost 3 months old and has become very interactive.  She has the cutest smile ever and has started to laugh, which is just the most beautiful sound!  She rolled over by herself the other day and she now weighs about 13 pounds, so she's definitely growing!  I'm also so proud to say that she is officially sleeping through the night (a new mother's dream!) and we all feel like life has definitely settled down a bit. 
  As if we are not blessed enough already... I am glad to announce that I have found a new job!!  I will be working in Labor & Delivery at University Hospital, which is such a wonderful place and they are offering me three 12-hour shifts.  So, I'm really happy that I'll get to be home as much as possible with the family, but have this new and exciting work experience too!  It's just perfect timing for this to come into our lives, so we're thrilled.  Jacob is doing very well too, he's just hanging on for the ride since his work has been pretty busy. 
   I had so much fun last night with my Beehives.  They came to our house and we bottled stewed tomatoes in the pressure cooker.  I also made them a spaghetti dinner so that they could try the tomatoes in a made-from-scratch recipe - which I'm happy to say they loved!  All of the bottles sealed properly in the end, but more importantly I think the girls had fun and learned something.  I've told Jacob that if I'm going to continue to have large groups of people over, we need to expand our kitchen...but for now he just laughs and tells me to keep dreaming.  Sigh* Someday I'll have my dream kitchen.  But regardless, it feels nice to have such sweet girls in our home. 

Well, I better get something done today. But please comment and let me know how you're doing.  I don't even really know who checks out my posts!

Love, Ally
