So...it's been awhile. Here's a quick recap of the rest of the summer:
Sam finished up his second year of t-ball and was quite proud to win his first trophy. He slept with it the first night:)
Josephine turned two years old, and Auntie Candy and I granted her wish of a Purple Cupcake party!
Sam had surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids. The first day was hard on the little guy, but then he bounced back quickly and had a smooth recovery...and now he sleeps so peacefully without any snoring!
Charlie moved out of his crib and into a big boy bed. This also meant that Charlie and Sam moved into their brand new Outer Space themed bedroom. They love it...especially the planets that hang from the ceiling.
The boys love super heroes and continue to dress as such on a daily basis (in some pretty unusual costumes - they are definitely creative).
We found out that a little GIRL will be joining our family in December!!!
We enjoyed meeting many new neighbors and had fun exploring police cars and fire trucks during our National Neighborhood Night Out.
Sam got to go on a shopping spree to get ready for Kindergarten. He picked out a super hero shirt for himself AND one for Charlie. What a thoughtful brother:)
Our nephew, Baby Marcus, was baptized.
We spent lots of time at our neighborhood pool. Charlie is FINALLY a fan of the water. Sam thinks he no longer needs swimming lessons because he can stay afloat in the water (with a life jacket on).
Since we previously lived in a townhome, Peter spent time this summer figuring out what a joy it is to take care of a lawn. This was his first time mowing this spring...he thought it was fun. By the end of the summer, the fun was over.
Though I cherish summers home with my boys, the last two summers have found me swamped with writing my Capstone research paper to complete my Master's Degree. On August 31st, the final draft was submitted. No more summers spent writing papers! Which is also great because I don't know how I would ever do that with THREE kids in the house.
