Wowzers

It's almost August, people.

I've been out of school for 7 years and yet I still feel a sense of dread during the month of August about going back to school. (College, I'm sure I was usually ready for school to start all the other years of my life) ☺

 I should be excited for school to start this year since Aidan and Ella will be going. (3 days a week, for 3-ish hours)

 Work is still moving along on the house.

Mostly on the inside they have been taping and mudding, so not very interesting to take pictures of, but still exciting.

We're waiting for the entry doors to get here before they can finish the stucco outside.

The kids testing out the new sidewalk

"Mom, I'm looking at my teeth with the flashlight."



"Can I look in your mouth?"

Britton has been teething for what feels like forever now, but I think it's actually only been a week. ☺

He was sleeping awesome and then BAM, we were back to newborn sleeping patterns.

I've been feeling somewhat zombie-ish (and cranky) from lack of sleep.



Walking Vintage Style

Kath brought out this old walker for Britton to use at the center.

This thing is totally vintage.

All of Cary's brothers and sisters used it, and some cousins who are even older. (and some cousins who are younger too, it's had a long full life.)

Aidan and Ella were excited about it too.

Then Ella played the piano with Grandpa.

House Progress

Some parts of the house have the finish stucco coat, but the weather was really hot and windy this week, so they really couldn't do much outside. So that means they worked inside and got a lot of the sheet rock done. Yahoo!

Doesn't even look like the same house, eh?

How exciting!

Maybe we really will move into this house someday...☺

5 Months (Britton)

Sorry, picture overload of my little boy.

Britton is just too cute and happy.

Although, a few minutes ago (while I was uploading these pictures) we had the worst poop/ diaper episode I've ever had. Nobody poops like this little boy.

Hmmm... Britton at 5 months.

-He likes to chew on his toes.

-He wants to crawl SO BAD. He gets so frustrated.

-He still LOVES attention, from anybody.

-He's been sleeping through the night (in baby terms, that means I'm getting atleast 5-6 hours of sleep) ☺Although, last night was an exception and he had me awake from about 2:00-5:00. =P

-Not sitting up on his own yet, but he's definitely working on it.

-If I'm late a few hours on cutting his fingernails, the kid scratches his face/ head all up.

Aidan is such a good big brother.

He has his arms around both of them.

Aidan says, "Look Mom! We're a family!"

Sounds of Summertime

Pictures from the summer concert that was July 15.

The weather cooperated. ☺

They are probably going to love me for this, but I thought this picture was hilarious.

There was a nice moon out for the concert too. ☺
