Fall is Here...Sort of!!!


Enjoying a birthday party at the park.



Just love this pose!!!


South Carolina has finally cooled off, for a few days anyway!  We're enjoying it anyhow!  The evenings are really cool and the mornings great.  We can finally play outside again without sweating the minute we walk out the door.  The boys and I have enjoyed several walks this week after dinner while Josh studies.  We've gone further than we were able to go when it was so hot!!

With the cooler weather comes new clothes.  The boys have enough clothes for several children I think!!!  Yesterday we just dropped off 3 trash bags of clothes we couldn't even use!!  Monday we went with Oma up to Charlotte.  The one thing we did need was shirts for Jack.  Jack enjoyed helping pick out his new clothes.  He kept saying "Jack's shirt" and wanting to hold them!!  It was so cute.  We nearly wiped out Oma's gift cards.  Oma also got Jack his first set of Legos (well the Duplos) for his birthday.

Wednesday we enjoyed a trip to the park.  We were there for over 3 hours and the boys loved it!  I'm so loving the cooler weather too!!!  Jack, however, is driving me a little nuts.  For some reason he has decided sometimes he doesn't need a nap.  Luckily he will at least stay in his crib for over an hour and be somewhat quiet.  He's also waking up at night sometimes.  Not sure what he is up to?!


Ewan tried climbing up the slide!


Exploring the playground.


Getting ready to slide.

Ewan is growing like a weed.  He looks even older in long sleeves and pants.  Somehow it ages him!!  He still has the cutest smile ever.  We enjoyed some time together while Oma took Jack for his weekly outing.  This week they went for bagels, to the park and shopping at Target.  Jack loves his Oma time.  So do I!!!  This week while they were gone I spent my "alone" time (while Ewan was napping) washing window screens.  How exciting!!!  Then while they both napped in the afternoon I cleaned all the downstairs windows.  We'll call it "fall cleaning"!!  Josh won't let me open the windows until I clean them because of his allergies.  BUMMER!  Still need to clean the upstairs.  Must admit, they sparkle and the view is great.


Leaving with Oma for their special time.



Enjoying some alone time with Mommy.

Jack wants to sleep in his toddler bed...he just won't stay in it.  So he is still in the crib.  We also plan on trying to potty train again very soon.

That pretty much sums up what we've been up to and more!  Not sure where all the time goes!  We've been to several birthday parties lately.  Now we're busy getting ready for the Jack's second birthday party.  He's looking forward to it!  We're practicing his cake and should be getting his bike soon.
