the week.

And so it begins.

In addition to discovering the fun of the toilet, Anderson is starting to attempt to feed himself. Please place the emphasis on attempt. He actually made a part of the spoon to his mouth twice. Of course it had no applesauce left on it and this was 2 out of 200 tries, but it was still pretty cute.

Brandon was KPD Officer of the month for August because he tracked down & busted a bad guy who confessed to over 70 burglaries! I am so proud of him. Saving the world, one day at a time.

In my mind it was going to be so fun to take Lily & Anderson to the Farragut game. Yet again, I learned the lesson that dreams & reality are not the same thing.

Since Lily was here last week, Anderson had to learn to share. He was pretty good at sharing most things, but was pretty selfish when it came to his Noni.So, he started stalking her & whenever there was a free lap, he was there. I couldn't even finish dressing him without frantic crawling toward her.

One of Anderson's favorite games to play is when I drag him around on this blanket. As soon as he sees it, he lays face down and holds on with a big grin. I love it, of course. Well, I discovered that pulling 2 chubbers is a little more difficult but even more fun!

I kind of cut off his head, but how cute are these overalls with the police car?

Jessica came to visit last weekend & brought Anderson this awesome singing pirate bear! And, not even 1 semester into her first year, she was chosen as Teacher of the Month at her school!

Aunt Ems came to visit also & I managed to get 0 good pics of her, which was mostly because she was so busy playing with Anderson & Lily. I love when Emily is here because she literally just is one of us-eating spaghetti, watching Nicole & I argue, picking up Catholic tips from my mom even though she is not Catholic...

This email I received from her the other day is also why you love her. (She is an awesome cat mom, this was just a weak moment)
So when I went to get my flu shot today the pharmacy told me if I file a paper claim with my insurance I will get reimbursed. I didn't know this at all so I was very excited. Anyway, before I filled out all the paperwork I thought I would call my insurance company to make sure. They put me on hold for 2 minutes. In the meantime my cat is meowing at the door incessantly. I completely forget I'm on hold and yell at my cat then beat her for whining. Then I realize I'm still on hold. They record entire calls even the hold periods. I immediately hung up. So somewhere in this world there is a recording of me beating my cat. I can never run for office.

This video of Anderson is clips from a few weeks ago, but I just loaded them. He is definitely a boy-lots of energy!!

I love watching Lily. She is hilarious.
