Octavia Marie Myers was born on July 31 at 7:17 pm.  She was 8 lb. 11 oz., 21 in.

We are both doing well and I am totally in love with this tiny new person.  I could sit and look at her all day!  The other children are loving her, too, as is Dad, of course.

We aren't in our new house yet but should be soon - 2 or 3 more weeks is my guess.  I was hoping to be in before baby came but she was early (yesterday, August 8th, was my due date) and we had some delays with work getting done to the house. 

Lee just potty trained himself between June and July and is doing great.  He's even staying dry through the night (except twice when Daddy gave drinks too close to bedtime) and I haven't noticed any signs of going back since baby arrived.  Here is the big boy in his 2T boxers.  He refuses to wear briefs.

I'm looking forward to getting started with the new school year but I'm not sure when we'll start.  Should I wait until we're settled in the new house or start up slowly while we're here in our temp. house?  I'm thinking the latter would be better because we could just get into our math, language arts, and maybe some lapbooks for fun and then add the other things when we are settled at home.
