Ready For Fall

Things have been a little crazy lately. I'm happy for summer to come to an end and for Fall to be right around the corner. I'm anxious to get my Fall decorations up in the house. 

We went to a birthday get-together for my brother-in-law yesterday which was fun. We had a quiet evening and just watched a movie. As of right now, we are watching the Cowboys last pre-season game. Tomorrow the U.S. Open begins. So our TV will be tuned to it nightly. I can hardly wait. Bring on the last grand slam of the tennis season. 

Landon is continuing to be an instagram hit. He's got a few features in the last few days. Yay, for him. He's my little star! Skylar continues to grow up too fast. I'm happy to see her maturing in one way but in another way my baby is catching up to her brother at a rapid pace. She's doing well in school. Has a few more weeks of classes to go. 

Best thing about September arriving...the mornings will be getting cooler, the summer heat will be subsiding. Have a good Sunday!

Catching Up

Well as you can see I took a nice long break from the blog. Landon's instagram is rather demanding to say the least. It keeps me very busy. We've also been very glued to the Olympics, or at least I have. Brad watched a little here and there each night. 

We've enjoyed the Olympics, but we are ready for it to end. As we both feel the world has taken a step or two backwards as everyone has been inundated with the images from the Tokyo games and those images have "stirred the pot" AGAIN! Overly obsessive covid protocols ruled the Tokyo games. However, opposite of the Olympics the Gold Cup was going which is a soccer tournament for the nations that didn't qualify for the Olympics, when we would turn on the Gold Cup, not a mask in sight in the completely sold out stadiums. Yeah, Tokyo did everything they could to stir the pot and help keep people questioning how much they should be in fear again. Also did anyone happen to notice only the "popular" sports scheduled to get lots of TV time had no spectators. But there are tons of images on Instagram and other online sources where spectators can be seen attending the less popular sports. All I'm saying is there was a very calculated image of how we the public were supposed to see these Olympics. 

Now for us, we move on to tennis. Tennis! Tennis! Tennis, will be ruling our tv. Oh and preseason football. But the Canadian Open is this week and then one week off and then the big US Open. 

In other news, Skylar graduated from kindergarten level of puppy school and starts her next level tomorrow. She is doing so well. Having two havanese is a blast. So far their personalities are very similar. It's like dealing with the girl version of Landon. LOL! 

Have a good week!
