This post is going to be really short as the weeks have been jam-packed with events, work, and our own family time. We are still enjoying the beautiful weather here on Whidbey Island and have to laugh when we see the weather forecast for the east coast as...rain. Only because we heard multiple jokes about the amount of rain we would receive when actually, if you researched the weather on Whidbey Island, we receive the same if not less than Virginia :)
Robert has been very busy with work, but loved his CFL training. We are both trying to stay in shape so setting the alarm clock for 4:30 a.m. is not always the fun thing to do at night, but it pays off at the end of the workday. Bentley is growing bigger each day, but still has an adorable, loving personality. I am becoming more happy with my teaching experience and instead of seeing it as a difficult year am looking at it as an opportunity to grow. I still think teachers should get paid the big bucks for what we do, BUT I am not the president nor do I want to be ;)
Our upcoming weekends are filled with our dear friend MOLLY POTH visiting, a trip down to Langley for Oktoberfest, more Poker nights for Robert which means more girls wine nights for Shannon, school events and fundraisers, and of course Halloween. Bentley will NOT be wearing an outfit...unless it is JMU colors!
Hope y'all are having a great start to the fall!!!

| Bath night for Bentley |
 |
| He enjoys the bath at first.... |
 |
| ...and then he hates the water and the towels. |
 |
| The Dohms got a look at the large and in charge sea lions on our way to Friday Harbor. |
 |
| A delicious lunch at "The Blue Water" bar and grill. |
 |
So tempted to get this for Bentley.
We could use this for upcoming visitors. |
 |
| Something I would LOVE to do to our house in the future. |

| Gorgeous sunset after our workout on base. |
Remember the start to my most recent challenging school year? Oh how I cried, and cried, and cried. And then, at the end, I was so amazed and enchanted by what a great year it actually turned out to be. Then I cried and cried and cried that it was coming to an end. I do think that I grew and found ways to enjoy my work (of course having my Shannon Sunshine there didn't hurt either). Sound like there is much fun on your horizon. And 4:30 for workouts, you impress me greatly! :) Sending my love! Say hi to Molly for me!
