It has been quite some time since I sat down and updated the ol' blog. Bare with me as this will be a long one...
Our crazy haired, naked shopper...which is now a part of our nightly routine.
This girl...there are no words. She brightens our everyday.
These two together...there are no words.
Since I blogged last, we transformed our dining room into a playroom. Toys under our chandelier makes more sense than a table to seat six for now. This is only a season and a decade from now I will be wishing I had all these toys under my chandelier.
Ford has FINALLY gotten rid of all bottles so this is included in our nightly routine.
We had a fun play date with Olivia's BFF, Wil. We went to get ice cream, picked out a book at the book store, had supper and went to see Planes. Everybody (including me) slept well that night.
I can't help but post cuteness.
We have enjoyed our last days of Summer (or really the first days of the HOT Fall) with the water hose.
I ran my first half marathon since having two babies with a time of 1:55. It was hot and I'm glad it's over but I think I got the fever back. Looking forward to my next one.
Annndddd....football has started. Ford is saying "touchdown" while cheering on those undefeated Saints!
I got away for a night with my besties. We stayed at the Alluvian and visited the spa, had a nice kid free dinner with big glasses of wine, slept in and went to a cooking class the next morning. It was such a refreshing weekend with these two. Looking forward to our next getaway.
Then we had a kids free night in New Orleans. Ahhhhh....talk about needing a night to ourselves. We went to dinner and then went to the Saints game. A big thanks to Gigi and Papa for keeping the two little rug rats.
Ford practicing his Superman pose. I think he's got it.
Berenstain Bears, always apart of the nightly routine.
We also went to Pig Pickin' in Cleveland. It was a great day to be a Statesman and we had fun visiting the campus and seeing everyone.
This was my sleep partner while we there. Other than the kicking and hogging of the whole bed she's a pretty good one.
Daddy took off work Friday after a rough week and we visited the Children's Museum. Pretty sure it's everyone's new favorite spot.
This little guy has had a rough time lately. He is going to speech, physical and occupational therapy. We are hoping he is just around the corner from walking so we'll see. It sure does tucker him out though. Our prayers are that he makes tons of lead way in the next few weeks.
He is also getting tubes this week. Hoping that will solve some of his problems.
If you can't tell, he has no problems with the sleeping.
While Ford goes to therapy, Olivia stays at school for lunch bunch. This is what she has requested in her lunch box each day. We have a long, long 15 years ahead. Anything for my girl.
Our household has been hit with the stomach bug the last 2 days. Ford was number 3 to get it. Hoping number 4 doesn't get it. I think he appreciated all the special attention.
We have had a long week dealing with an incident that happened with Hays' work. As I drove home on one of those days I saw a double rainbow. The Lord is always reminding me of His simple promises to take care of us, provide for us and to never leave or forsake us. What a mighty God we serve. Makes my heart ache for those that don't know that kind of love.
Until next time...hoping it won't be as long.
