29

Still doing well. Hanging around. Having little colds here and there, but nothing serious. We celebrated my 29th birthday (on the 29th) the weekend before last, and kept it pretty calm. We had dinner at Carrabba's, thanks to a gift card, and went to the beach the next day (Saturday) because that's my favorite place to go (and it's almost free...) The beach we went to was actually right at the start of Chesapeake Bay, and the waves were pretty small and fast. The kids, as always, had a blast. :)  

Katy took her first steps a few days ago, and has even started trying it out herself a little bit in between furniture items. Reilly and Jaina love to cheer her on. Our ward here has been very nice, and several people have invited us over for dinner or family home evening.  We are planning to take a trip to the D.C. Temple (that's the one we're assigned to) over the Labor Day weekend hopefully, so that should be exciting! We miss everyone in Arizona, but we are happy to be here with the beautiful green trees everywhere and the coast so close. We're excited for the heat to let up sometime though; with the added humidity it's pretty icky outside some days!
