Life Lately

Life has been so busy lately! If it weren’t for the weather, it would feel like Summer “vacation” is over! I’m pretty tired – life just does that to you. 😉  But, I’m grateful for the fun times, family visits, and sweet moments that are sprinkled throughout our days.  My sister-in-law took this while she and my mother-in-law visited 2 weeks ago.  Tower building is a favorite activity around here.
Chilling at the pool after swim lessons.  The boy loves beach/pool chairs!  I was able to have a day-long lunch and coffee date with Casey!  Much needed girl talk with my bestie from France.  Thank you, Lord!  And major thanks to our husbands for keeping our kiddos. Todd had been gone most of the week, and I needed a Saturday morning for Davis to help the day go by faster.  So I decided to let him paint!  This is a piece of poster board, and he used washable paints from Target.  He loved it and wanted to paint several days in a row after that.  I’m thinking we need to buy him an easel.
We walked down to a field in our neighborhood one afternoon so that the boys could let out some energy.  Davis thought carrying the leash was hilarious.  Kenan, not so much.   Sometimes in the evenings when I am getting dinner ready, I’ll give Davis something to snack on while he’s running around.  (Sitting still is rare for him).  A lot of times Davis will, with snack in hand, go find Kenan and sit right beside him.  Then he’ll come back for another cracker or carrot, and go back and sit with him again. Not gonna lie, it melts my heart! I made some donuts for church the other day and had to take a picture.  Such a fun sweet to bake!  We were able to see Casey again!  And her hubby, Antoine!  We met them out for a sushi double date in Greensboro and it was awesome!  Now we just need to plan another trip to France to see them again.  Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for keeping D! Watching Cars on the iPad, under a fort, eating a banana.  Oh, and no clothes on D. Ha! My handsome Sunday lunch dates.  Sarah and Jeremy got us hooked on this pizza place, and we’ve been going with them after church.  We missed them last week!I made some macarons for a friend’s gender reveal party this week.  They announced the gender last night – pink it is!!

It’s only 2.5 days until the weekend.  Hooray!
