Late Summer

Boy, it has been a while. Sorry. I've just been so busy enjoying the beautiful weather I haven't had time to post. What a great summer it was. There wasn't a day that we weren't doing something in the sun. The boys, Drew and I enjoyed it completely. I am finally starting to catch up here at home from running all summer. We had wonderful days at our annual church convention in August too. The garden is still doing great and we've added another garden spot to our property for the boys to have more corn to sell for next year. School started last week for Lachlan (2nd grade) and Cohen will start his 2nd year of preschool next week.

Mack is now 20 months! He started saying more words just this week. The most fun one is "pobby" for potty which I am hoping he will want to use soon. He's been so fun this summer too. He continues to love being outside with the boys...especially if it involves water. He loves getting wet and playing with the hose. He loves to dance and sing and everyone tells me how big he is getting...I'm a little in denial :). Wish he could stay small a little longer. He's also mastered running, which is very cute. He is really trying to stay up with is brothers!

Drew and I are having our bathroom remodeled starting tomorrow. Actually in our bedroom there is a bathroom, or a space for a bathroom, but the previous owners never did anything with it. So, we are having a wall extended, having it tiled etc. It will be really nice to have a extra bathroom and I will post pictures when it is done. We are hoping to be done in 4-8 weeks.

Here are some recent pictures:
