Another Anders first!

Well, our little guy finally had a tooth come on through! I was really crossing my fingers that his grumpy attitude and fever the other day was all from his first tooth. We were happy to see that on August 15th his little tooth started to come through. But that's not all! Later that evening, Anders decided to say "mama" and take a step by himself. What a day! I guess that's how it is, nothing and then all of a sudden something!
Also, Toby is just about done with our new laundry room. I'll post pictures once it's all done, he is doing such a wonderful job!
I am still trying to get my classroom ready for the year and here I thought I had so much time!

Chelan

We just got back from our family vacation in Chelan. We were able to have our close friends, Matt and Tawny (baby Jaxon in tummy) join us which made it that much better. Also Toby and Matt's friend Alan got to experience the wonders of Chelan for the first time. Anders loved being outside from morning til night. I think if he could talk, he would have begged to stay for another week if not move there. Lady played and played and was in dog heaven! We look forward so much to spend time with our family and friends in Chelan. Thank you so much to Uncle Paul and Auntie Lisa for letting us stay and enjoy their wonderful getaway. I have already started back to work by taking classes and it sure feels good! Toby is currently creating a beautiful laundry room that will be perfect. Anders is crawling, standing, and wanting to walk. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he will take his first steps before his first birthday in September. I'll keep everyone posted!

Our Family

Sorry about starting up another blog, but I had to make things a bit easier with all of our internet log-ins!
Our family began in July of 2005 when Toby and I got married. We were greeted a little over two years later with the birth of our son Anders Ellis Dahl. So here we are, Toby working as a project manager for JH Kelly, I am a third grade teacher for the Kelso School District, and Anders is just continuing to grow! Oh, Lady still loves to sleep on the couch, wait for table scraps, and always wanting to snuggle.
I have decided to start this blog so our family and friends can see how we are doing...well, mainly Anders. Thank you for visiting and I hope to post something atleast once a month!
