I'm ready for August to be over

It's only August 10th but already we've had more than enough excitement. Two weeks ago the credit union that I work at was held up...AGAIN! Luckily no one was hurt and our security guard was able to scare him off but it has still put everything in my life into perspective. I have thought seriously about finding a new job. The first few times it happened I was ok with it but this time was different...All I could think about was what if someone got hurt, what if I got hurt, what would happen to my boys??? The whole incident has made me realize what I could lose. So the job hunt has started and will continue until something has come along that is a little bit safer.

On 8/2 we had our annual family reunion on my Dad's side. All the Nemers got together for a day of food, fun and games. It was also Lucas's first picnic. He handled it like a champ. All day outside and he was happy as could be. The following day we put Lucas in the baby pool that I bought for the first time. After the initial shock of the water (its never warm enough...no matter how warm you make it) he loved it! Lucas and Ashley splashed away for a good hour in the pool. After he was wiped. I think he slept like a rock that night!

This week Ralph and I are taking Lucas to the Boone County Fair. This is a pretty big deal out in the sticks! It will most likely be a two day event because of Ralph's schedule. So Ashley will be coming out on Saturday hopefully and we will venture out to the fairgrounds for some greasy food, animals, rides, games, etc...I'm actually looking forward to it this year! Maybe it's the kid in me.

I realized the other day that Christmas is a little over 4 months away...Did I scare anyone???

Here are some pictures of Lucas...
