We got our front door painted red.
N and I passed the time by cleaning his outdoor toys with buckets of water, soap, and wash cloths. He loved it!
N also saw his first display of fireworks (or "fire spiders" as he called them) on the 4th of July, but the pictures did not turn out so good, darn it.
N's birthday! I can't believe he's another year older!
N and I ate as many lunches outside as we could. N calls them picnics. I brought his little table inside now that it's cooling off. We still eat at it quite often and N still calls them picnics even though we are eating indoors.
My sister came home for her final wedding gown fitting and her bachelorette party. Good times!!
Unfortunately N came down with a terrible ear infection and was sick while my sister was here, so he had to stay home quite a bit. J and I tried to keep him occupied and as happy as possible by crafting with him. After twenty four long days, two rounds of antibiotics and three trips to the doctor he finnnnnallly kicked the ear infection!!!
N started a one day per week school at a local church in early September. These pictures were taken on his first day. It's funny because he insists on carrying his backpack to school every day. He does verrrry well at school. One of the best parts of the day (for me anyway) is seeing his face light up when he sees that I am there to pick him up. He always says "Mommy" with a big smile on his face and runs to me with his backpack on his back. Too cute!!
In late September my family went to The Netherlands for my sister's wedding. The trip was fantastic and the wedding was incredible. Congratulations again, Sis. You two are a wonderful couple and you were a stunning bride!!! My husband took the week off of work to stay home with my son while I was on the trip. Although I enjoyed my travels, I missed "my guys" immensely. D was good about emailing me daily updates and he took lots of pictures. They actually had a very active week. D even made a decorative cement block with their hand prints in it to commemorate the week.
N is currently very interested in pretend play. He loves his kitchen. As I said above, I have our picnic table in our dining room which is located right by "N's kitchen." N "cooks" us pizzas, pancakes and noodles all the time. He is very good about serving me my diet coke with everyone meal!! Ha!!
N was Bob the Builder for Halloween, but I cannot find the pictures at the moment. I will post pictures when I find them.
This fall will be busy with household projects. D got a ton of stuff done outdoors while it was still warm outside. He built landscaping walls all around the house that will be ready to be filled with plants next spring. He closed in the underside of the deck and built a little shed under the deck to store our patio furniture, etc. He did a huge renovation of the creek in the back yard and was able to grow a pretty nice yard of grass... He is struggling to push the crab grass out of the yard, but it all looks great to me. Our big project this fall is finishing our basement. We've already got our belongings stored in various places of the house and D has framed in all that walls that can be framed in at this point. With some help from the professionals who built our house, we hope to have the basement finished by Christmas!
Take care,
C
