The End of Summer

As summer draws to a close and the weather becomes cooler, we find ourselves playing outside more and relishing the opportunity to get out our warmer clothes. September included a birthday bash for Isaiah, a trip to the ER, and some fun family times.

We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Isaiah's birthday at the beginning of the month. The boys had fun playing at the park and riding the train complete with steam engine! Watching their eyes light up as they rode the train was worth a million bucks. After the park, we came back to our house for brats, burgers, cake, and presents. It was fun, fun, fun.

Later in the month, we were at a different park when Elijah slipped and hit his head on a bicycle pedal like thingamajig and split his forehead open. Luckily we were only 3 blocks from the hospital and had the fastest ER visit ever. The doctor Durabonded (glued) his head together and we were in and out in an hour. The doc said there should be no brain or nerve damage (he just missed hitting a major nerve in the forehead that controls facial movement and more). Thank you Lord for your provision and protection that night.

School continues to go well for Jeff. We enjoyed hosting his physics class for pizza one night as they worked on a robot they are building to compete in a show in mid-October. It was fun to get to meet some of the kids Jeff teaches everyday.

We also enjoyed going to a few rummage sales one Saturday morning. Elijah found the guitar you see in the pictures. It was a great find for him but drives me crazy! He loves to play it and show off his moves. :-)

Thad is a fun-loving, smiley, little guy. He definitely favors Jeff in appearance and loves to be with Daddy. He has started sleeping most of the way through the night giving us both some much needed rest.

I enjoy playing with the boys, hanging out with friends, and attending a weekly MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. I also had a blast last week going out to dinner with some friends from Russellville. I love you Laura, Laura, and Beth!!!!

I hope you are all well and enjoying the cooler weather. Until next time, please enjoy the picture show.
