Summer is slipping away and things have been happening around here! It's mid-August already, which is wild, and Matt starts school again next Tuesday. The days are flying by. Oh yeah, I had a birthday a couple weeks ago! Somehow this year it got strung out into a few days, so that was kind of nice. I spent my actual birthday with Sarah and the girls along with my boys out at a splash park close to their house. Sarah spoiled me with cupcakes and lunch AND dinner. I had a wonderful time. Steven & I also had a date night (thanks to Pam!) and were able to see the Human Body exhibit at the Stark Center that I've been dying to see. Truly amazing, and well worth the money and time. We also had a nice early dinner out at Hula Hut on Saturday with some friends. The kids were with us so it wasn't entirely relaxing and we only stayed maybe an hour, but the food and company were awesome. Our nose-picking children:
This past weekend we journeyed to Jacksonville for a visit with Steven's folks, and Tim & Pam joined in on the fun as well.
Will was naturally thoroughly entertained by the stairs and was able to navigate them safely even if it scared us all half to death.
The piano was a hit again with both boys. I love this picture, it's so cute. William was loving it.
On Saturday, the men headed out to Toby's shop to check on the latest car projects. They made the trip in Tim's vintage Camaro. Aren't they cute?
Saturday afternoon we visited with the Prewitt's, and Mason & Matt had a grand old time playing together. At one point they were playing upstairs by only the light of the lava lamp (Matt keeps referring to it as a volcano lamp) in Mason's room. Will & Anslee danced around each other with curious fascination. We're looking forward to hanging out with them more at the beach in a couple weeks!
Sunday morning before we left we headed out to the farm to see what we could catch. Steven & I walked around that little pond and neither of us caught a thing. But, it was still nice to be out there. Matt preferred sitting next to Grandpa rather than holding a fishing pole, and he was a little perturbed that there were no snacks to enjoy. I guess that's why he wasn't too interested in posing for a picture.
We had a lovely visit. It is always so nice staying with the Joneses. We left on Sunday right at naptime.
It worked out perfectly!
