Camping
We had a wonderful weekend camping at a lake about an hour outside of San Antonio. We camped with some of Micah's co-workers. There was lots of classic camp food, swimming, and enjoying the outdoors (which really is a treat when you live in Texas ;) )

New Seasons
There have been some changes in the Krishnan household this week... Some good, some ok, and some just because that's the way things are!
Micah ended the classroom portion of his ER course and has transitioned to clinicals. This means he no longer goes to class Monday-Friday from 8-5pm. This is good! He now works in the actual ER on Mondays-Thursdays. He has 9 weeks of clinicals. The first five weeks or so he will work "nights" (which is what he is doing now). So he works from 3-11pm. The second half of clinicals he will work 7am-3pm. He does have some homework to go along with clinicals that he has to do during the week and submit daily, but he has 3 day weekends!!!! This is very good! His current plan is to stay after work and get his homework done before coming home, so last night he didn't get home until 3:30am...This is not good. Hopefully after a week or so, once he is more familiar with the expectations, he will become more efficient and be home by 2 am...which is better!
Juliet continues to go to her preschool two days a week. However, she now stays there for her afternoon nap. This is ok. Previously, I was picking her up at noon and bringing her home to take her nap so she would sleep better, even though we were paying for her to be there until 2pm. But when I picked her up early, even though she was taking a little longer of a nap at home, she was missing some of the afternoon activities at preschool. This was not good. Another main reason to leave her the whole time (even though I almost cried the first day I did) was so that Micah and I could have those mornings to hang out by ourselves (since he is on night shift). This is very good! So, this has been a good transition and only challenging for me and my mama's heart having to leave Juliet at preschool longer. Thankfully, she seems to love it and she has the best teachers ever!! She also actually naps well there, which also makes me feel better about leaving her. These are all very good.
I have not had too many changes in this new season. Mainly just adjusting to having Micah work nights and all the changes that have come with it. I now have all this alone time in the evenings when he is gone and Juliet is asleep. Call if you want ;) Recently I have seemed to have more things on my plate. This is very good. I have had several get-togethers with two other moms from church who both have 22 month-old girls. Plus, fall activities with church have started up and that means a few more ways to get involved. This is very good. So, as we head into the new season of fall I feel more and more "settled" here in Texas with each passing week. This is good!
And the final new season is the season of fall that is rapidly approaching us. Despite the calendar it still feels like summer down here, so any of you who are sad for the new season's arrival, come and visit us!!! Our outdoor pool is open ALL year. I'm not kidding. I asked. This is just the way things are in Texas, I suppose?!

Summertime Baseball
I love minor league baseball games! It seems like a natural part of summer time. In Asheville we frequented the Asheville Toursits and last night we went to our first San Antonio Missions game (the mascot names make me laugh). Every Thursday night baseball game is Dollar Night....dollar beers, dollar hotdogs, dollar popcorn, dollar soda, all night long! We made sure to coincide this deal with our first trip ;)
Juliet ate 2.5 hotdogs and some popcorn. (This is why we must go on dollar night, otherwise we could not afford to go.) She also really go into the atmosphere. For a child who loves clapping, baseball games and baseball music is like heaven!

Salsa Obsession
Juliet is obsessed with sauce; "salsa" as she calls it. If there is anything that could be considered "dip" or "sauce" within her vision she will not eat her food unless she is dipping it. Seriously.
Today for lunch she asked for a sandwich. I made her a grilled cheese. I sat down to eat with her, except I was eating a salad. I made the mistake of putting my dressing on the table and she insited on "salsa" for her sandwich. She then proceeded to take the cheese out of her sandwich (this is a common occurrence, which is why I give her a sandwich with melted cheese in hopes of deterring her) and dip it in the dressing I poured on her plate; no bread necessary...

Forts
I think one of Juliet's favorite parts of the day is when Micah gets home. He is way more fun that I am and when she hears him walking up the stairs she starts to go crazy with excitement. She loves having someone who will "wrestle" with her and tickle her till she can't breathe. Sometimes they even build forts.... (Oh, and don't forget to invite the babies over to the fort too!)
