Kids Gym

The end of this past spring was also the end of Austin's morning nap. How fortunate I was that he took two 2 and a half hour naps a day until he was almost 20 months, esp since I didn't feel well at the beginning of this pregnancy! So after having a summer full of long mornings, I decided Austin needed some extra-curricular activities....and so did I!

One of our new weekly activites is Kids Gym....very similar to My Gym, but smaller. He loves it! Today was his 3rd time, and he is already such pro! I took just a few pictures today. I'll have to get more another day.....we just have too much fun to stop and take pictures (actually I stay busy making sure Austin doesn't throw all the balls out of the ball pit and things like that!)

I Just Have To Brag....

I have the most wonderful husband, and Austin has the most wonderful dad! Everyday Andy blesses us in so many ways with his love and service! It is the highlight of our day for him to come home...when we are showered with hugs, kisses, and attention. Andy is usually very eager to play with Austin while I cook dinner. And they have the most fun! Some of my favorites are piggy-back rides, bath time, and story time...how precious to watch them together. Andy, we love you and are so very thankful for you!

Here are a few snapshots of their quality time this week....

After a ride on Daddy's back, Austin wanted to return the favor!!

Reading Austin's favorite book, God's Little Boy....a most precious book!

Labor Day Weekend 2008

I love this picture...and for a couple of reasons. First of all because Austin just loves the boat and makes sure to obey all the rules (wearing life jacket, sitting down while boat is moving, etc.) in order to have as many opportunities as possible! "Boat" is probably his favorite word! And secondly because his little Bama hat is officially too tight for his head, and this was the last time to sport it. But thanks to Aunt Abbs, he's had the next size up waiting on him! Maybe Nix '09 will enjoy this precious hat as much as his brother! :)

This Labor Day weekend we invited some friends to join us, but both could only come for a day. The Duncan family (Nate & Lydia, and their children Nathan & Hannah, and Lydia's sister, Naomi) came for the day Saturday, and my old roommates Sarah and Lezlie came Monday. We enjoyed their company very much! Here's some pictures from our weekend....(I'll add pics of Sarah and Lezlie when I get some.)

We are so thankful for the lakehouse and always enjoy our time there...it's our home away from home!
