It's been a hot summer, so we've been spending a lot of time outdoors. We did finally break down this year and buy a window air conditioner for upstairs. It was just impossible to sleep in 85+ degree heat. During the day we beat the heat by:
Eating popsicles- Daddy's specialty. He makes them with fruit, kefir, and honey and freezes them. Yum!
Not wearing any clothes and laying low
And of course swimming! Our favorite way... Owen has gotten to be quite the swimmer now. He can go across the pool by himself with just his swimmies on. He also loves to jump into the water (over and over and over again)
He has also been having lots of fun with his "tar" He likes to play and sing in gibberish. He also likes to sleep with this thing all the time. He has a gazillion toys, but this thing he found at a yard sale and his Uncle Chris got it for him for like $2. Worst part is, the batteries had exploded inside so it doesn't even work. He doesn't seem to care though.
He also likes to take pictures just like Mommy. He was trying to get Molly to pose...good luck!
We go to the park whenever we get a nice day. He's getting much braver and has to climb to the tallest slide. eek!
We've been working on riding his trike too, but his legs aren't quite long enough. That's his "mad face" by the way. He likes to make it and then laugh.
This is about as close to a beach as the boys got
Oh but Tahera and I took a wonderful girl's trip to the beach for a few days. Excuse out hair blowing in the ocean breeze.
Owen and Dennis have been playing a lot of baseball in the living room. Owen will hit the ball
and "run the bases"
We have also been very busy the past few weeks getting Owen and Daddy ready to go back to school. Dennis got accepted into UB's professional MBA program and started attending school again last week. We are really excited for him and life has been a little hectic for everyone to say the least. They literally called to tell him he was accepted 30 minutes before orientation. It's been a mad scramble to arrange classes, schedule babysitting, work schedules, meals, financial aid, and buy a laptop. Owen also starts school in 2 weeks and he's very excited.
To top it all off, Dennis and I have been training like mad for some long-distance runs coming up in the next few days/weeks.
Hard to believe it's already September 1st but we have enjoyed our summer time for sure.
and a random video of Owen singing his ABC's...just because I'm sure the grandma's want to hear his raspy little voice.
