Busy life update

A short recap of last month:
1. Went to ND for the 4th of July and attended Holzemer family reunion and 10th high school reunion
2. My parents came to visit us a couple of weeks later so they could attend the Neil Diamond concert. While they were here, we took them and Karsten to Underwater Adventures in MOA and we FINALLY got Karsten baptized.
3. Last week Brice's dad came over to help install the new a/c. Of course, we didn't realize that the plug that is on it's own circuit that the a/c should be using is a 210 volt plug but we bought a 110 volt a/c. So now, we have to call an electrician to change it out. For now, we have it plugged into another outlet.
4. Last week I finally started training for the new position I was supposed to start in months ago. So far that is going well.
5. 3 days after having the new a/c installed upstairs, the fan in the a/c downstairs decides it is going to die. Now we have to start the whole process over again!

New Karsten-isms:
1. unrolling toilet paper
2. flusing the toilet
3. cruising (he really likes pushing his high chair around)
4. 8 teeth means he can be more independant at meal times
5. He LOVES Gerber Puffs - He can go through a whole container of those in a few days.
6. falls asleep by himself when he gets put down for the night
7. starting to wake up in the morning without screaming bloody murder
8. he finally likes playing with his ball - he chases it all over the house
9. He'll have conversation with you either by slurburt or by buh buh buh
10. he loves going on the baby swing at the park. He also likes to play in the sand and grass.

Well, that's all for now. I will be back soon for a better update on our lives and hopefully some pictures. I will leave you with a picture of a visitor we had a couple of weeks ago.
