Out new blog...

Welcome to the Sheens of Austin Photoblog. We saw Verity taking advantage of this, and thought we would follow suit. Now that Photosite has closed it's doors, we really don't have another choice but to clear out of there and start over. Of course, this methods means we'll need to take more time posting pictures, and be a bit more picky in general... But, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I don't know what all the pictures are that I'm going to post right now, so I'll just give you a quick update on how life is going out here. We've only got a few weeks left before school starts up and Amy's back in Seminary teaching - I'd forgotten how nice it is to sleep in, so this summer has been nice. This summer has also been WET and RAINY. Up until last Friday, we had not had a day hotter than 95 deg all summer - at one point I'm pretty sure we hit like 40 days straight days of rain. It's been a nice change from the scorching heat that we had the last two summers, but it's made it more difficult to hit the pool when it's closed all the time.

Anyhow, also a few weeks away is Abby's first day of preschool. We're very excited about it, though I'm not sure we're as excited as Abby - today she took me into her room and pointed with a squeal of glee at her new clothes for school. Awesome - our little girl is growing up and is very much a little girl. She also found out that she will be getting a cute cherry covered backpack in the mail from Grandma Syl and she now wants to check the mail three times a day to see if it is there yet. :)

Collin on the other hand has been making some serious jumps as well - and not just him climbing up and down our big dresser. No, this little guy is one serious potty trainer, and totally self motivated. One day he seemed interested, so we gave it a try and that was all the push he needed. I won't get into any details, but let's just say he is really good, and we're very excited to not need to change diapers and everything else that goes along with that.

Take it easy!
