Fall and Such.....

Hello to our blogspot friends. Im so sorry for the delay in posting a blog update. Life has been crazy - yes crazy!! I was actually sitting with Gray while she played in the tub lastnight and we were having the most precious conversation - and I thought to myself "I really need to update the blog so I can tell the world how precious our little girl is". Of course things happen each day, each hour, each moment and I just wish you were all around to see it. The most amazing things come out of Gray's mouth. She is so funny and so innocent and so HAPPY!!

As the end of the summer was wrapping up our schedule was jam packed! We capped off the summer with an adults-only trip to Anguilla where Paul and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. It was the most amazing and romantic trip and an island we hope to visit again very soon.

Paul and I have both been super busy with work. I started a new job as a Regional Sales Manager early September and I love it. Paul is still doing great at his software sales. October led him to his best sales month ever and top salesman in the company. We are very blessed!!!

A few updates on Miss Gray....

* very advanced with her speech. She talks and talks and talks. I guess she's going to be just like her mommy and never fall short of things to talk about it.

* loves talking on the phone and actually has "pretend" conversations with a small group of friends daily.

* Potty training is going great - we're almost there. She's in big girl panties all day and stays dry - our challenge is #2 and that's been a little messy!!

* Sleeping in a conversion bed - almost in her big girl room and she is so excited!

* grasping the concept of time. It's so cute if we tell her we're going to do something or someone is coming over she says "now mommy.." and if I say "no, not now" she says "tomorrow" or "this weekend" or "after my nap"

* spelling her name G-R-A-Y

* loves drawing. She is so good at drawing people. She draws the body, the legs, arms, hair (long and short depending on who she is drawing), eyes, nose and ears - and for the most part they are all in the right place.

We are so excited about the fall. We're kicking off the cooler weather tonight with a neighborhood cookout and Halloween party where we'll attempt smores over the firepit.

Wish you all wonderful fall season from the Zytniks!! Bring on the cooler weather -we're ready!!
