I know, it's been too long since I've updated and Labor Day has really always kind of marked the end of summer. So, I feel a need to wrap up our summer for you, fill in some gaps and let you in on all the fun that August held. Here's an overview of how our summer has come to an end.
Lots of swimming, that's for sure! Mom's pool, her neighborhood pool, the Y and some good church friends' pool. Our little fish is going to miss this when fall arrives!
Ryan grew to like the water quite a bit too, but he was usually content just being held on someone's lap, watching brother show off his skills.
The Criswell's hosted all the young moms from our church for a playgroup pool party! I got to enjoy this day with just Logan and left Ryan at home with Grana.
Logan, Elijah and Levi
Mama friends and their kiddos
New York family came into town for Ryan's birthday.
This is just a few of the hundreds of pics taken that week!
Here's a brief look at Ryan's party!
Alison and Logan helped decorate cupcakes...
But enjoyed being the taste testers even more!
Mommy's homemade smash cake!
His invitation and fun little details,
created by Oh My Gluestick
Baby Emily made her first appearance to one of our parties
and all the excitement wore her out...
Lots of love, as friends and family filled the home
Ali and Logan enjoyed helping to open presents!
Especially when there was something in there for Logan too!
New pumas, soccer ball and baseball bat...
a boy's dream come true!
Brother showing how the new car works
And this new ride is lots of fun!
Good food
Time for cake
Ryan's Godparents
Eating cake is lots of fun!(This was the picture on his thank yous!)
Damage was done... smash cake a success!
Bam Bam had a great time and was ready for bed!
When Great Grandma was here we made a day trip to
the Houston Children's Museum.
Ryan really enjoyed it this time, now that he's old enough and mobile enough to make the rounds!
On Ryan's real birthday, we went to Sweet Tomato for dinner, Great Grandma's last night here.
Singing "Happy Birthday!"
It's so FUN to be ONE!
Our dear triplet friends turned 4 on the 31st
Their party was lots of fun, but one question about it would be, "Who had more fun at Pump It Up, the kids, or the parents!?!?!"Laurie and Avery
We're still kids at heart!
Ryan really enjoyed getting to put his mobility to use!
Ryan enjoyed the cupcake, but that's no surprise!
We enjoyed a fun pool and lake day at the home of one of our dear church friends, the Criswells. There are three new boys in our life (neighbor boys that like to spend time with us and have started attending church with us) and they got to enjoy their first lake experience of boating and tubing!
Logan was ready as ever
For blogging purposes, and since they're not our kids, we'll refer to the three as J, B and T. B is on the left, T in the middle and J on the right. They are fun kids... drive us a bit crazy sometimes, but a joy for Logan and we enjoy showering them with love!
J tubed first
Then took T along too
Jeff rode with B, taking it a bit slower
Logan thought it was great!
Ryan's first time on a boat
And once we took off, he ended up napping in my lap!
And the last thing I've been meaning to post since July. In preparations for our new baby, we painted the gameroom and moved Logan in there.
The train table is a new addition, played with daily. An early birthday present to complete the moving of rooms!
There is no cable on that tv, but since we only have one other tv in the house, it's nice for him to be able to watch a movie with a friend when we want adult time downstairs.
And now this awaits the call from the agency.
This beautiful painting was an anniversary gift from Jeff's parents and will be hung over the new one's crib when he or she arrives.
"And whoever receives one such child
in my name receives Me."
Matthew 18:5
Happy Labor Day!
Hope your summer wrapped up well!
