August came and went. Lots of things are happening with the Obringer family. Silas has officially been declawed and well...de.... (fill-in-the-blank). He is recovering well.
Not much to update on Oscar. We have given another offer. What we offered is absolutely the lowest I am willing to go without mediation and/or the trial. We are on week 3 and still haven't heard if the offer was accepted or not.
We are preparing and dreading Will's deployment. It is sometimes quite emotional when you just look at Madeline and her dada and know what's about to happen. But we are managing and doing our best to make sure Will is still around when he's not around (video taping stories, songs, etc.). Thank God for video cameras.
Madeline is 21 months! Can you believe it? This year her birthday will be on Thanksgiving which is a very sweet thing. She is "talking" more and more. She's able to put 2 worded sentences together. She has started helping wash herself during baths and wiping herself during diaper changes. We have SLOWLY started the potty training process where we have one and she sits, fully-clothed, on it. I cannot wait till we are out of diapers! Plus, have you seen little girl underwear? OMG so cute!

| Madeline, for some reason, thinks my faux juice is better than hers. |
 |
| Her first busted lip. The underside is worse, two teeth planted themselves right into her upper lip. |
 |
| I think this is funny because this outfit totally doesn't match, however Miss M helped me out. |
 |
| And the finishing touch? Two pairs of sunglasses! |
 |
| How we roll most days... |
 |
| Absolutely in love... |
 |
| My heart! |
 |
| Never say never! |
 |
| Getting cozy! |
 |
| How freakin' cute is this? |
 |
| She's still embracing the sand. |
 |
| We didn't have wipes, wouldn't you do the same? |
We hope you have a wonderful Labor Day!!
