Picnic

-
Last night we enjoyed a picnic with fellow team members in the area.  The weather turned out to be perfect and the kids all enjoyed running around and playing while we talked.  It was a great place to meet up!

The boys enjoyed some bubbles that a friend brought.
Jacob ate like a champ, potato salad, chicken, pita bread, and a cookie!  He is so close to walking and wants to keep up with his brothers.

"Sam J. was a wee little man and a wee little man was he.  He climbed up in an olive tree for the picnic he wanted to see..."

Andrew was dancing around with a friend and they were having a blast making each other laugh!


The boys have learned to do hand stands at the babysitters house.  Sam is pretty good and can do it all by himself.

Andrew is still learning but it won't be long before he masters it!


We thought Sam started school next Saturday but found out this evening it has been delayed a few days, it really starts August 29th.  We have a few more days of summer left and we look forward to enjoying them together!

**Disclaimer- I am going to start working on taking my camera off Auto mode and going to Manual mode.  I want to learn how to operate my camera better.  Having said that, you will probably see some pictures on upcoming posts that are blurry or the color is off.  I can't wait to start improving my pictures, it is something I truly enjoy:)

And as the picnickers ate their food and looked up in the tree,they said, "Sam, don't you fall down. Because we're not going to the hospital today, we're not going to the hospital today".
Tree climbers, hand standers, dancers, a close-to-new walker....busy, busy, busy!!

Busy Couple Days

We have had a busy couple days trying to get everything together for our trip. My mother came over the end of last week and it has been so helpful. I have been able to do errands and gather our needed supplies for the trip. I haven't taken many pictures but we have had a fun time and the boys have enjoyed their time as well. Friday we did the majority of our packing and tonight we are going to finish up. Yesterday, we enjoyed some time at a playground in the morning. In the afternoon, my mom and Sam went to see Toy Story 3 (his first big screen movie) while Hap, Andrew and myself went to a birthday party. Sam got these glasses pictured below at Wendy's yesterday and we might try and see if security stops him in the airport:) This evening we had our last team meeting and it was a wonderful time of praying and sharing about what God has been teaching us as we prepare for this trip. We know that it seems odd to some that we would take our children literally half way around t...

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
