Finding Time to Post..... Finally


Landon mows for the 1st time! He was so excited to be able to do this. Hopefully his enthusiasm won't be too short lived, he's got many years of mowing ahead!


Summerlyn gets bangs! It's a style we both agreed on that is fringed around the face with a FEW bangs. (Definitely NOT the bowl cut bangs that Mama dislikes.) It's very cute and she is thrilled to have a new style.


Call the fire department! Landon 's cooking! He decided he wanted to cook Ramen noodles for snack today.... And wow! Just like burned popcorn, our house is going to smell for days! Lorelei says, "Can I have some rotten noodles Mommy please?"


Nolan's first 4th of July as a US Citizen! Eating corn on the cob.




Yea for Watermelon!



Summerlyn's Summer tip #2 How to keep from getting watermelon on your shirt.


Keep watermelon off my shirt? That's no fun!



We are having a great summer. Nolan continues to adjust and settle in. This week is VBS at our church so I have left him while I am working. As soon as we arrive at the church he says, "no thank you." Which means he does not want to be left in the nursery. But he only cries for a very brief time and them he gets busy playing.

Over all he is doing remarkably well. We just passed the 4 month mark! So hard to believe it's only been 4 months. Nolan's language skills are impressive -he is speaking in sentences, and is trying his best to sing too. Emotionally he seems to be doing well also, much of the grieving seems to have passed now and he's moved on to being an all-American 2 year old! We are loving our newest addition, he's such blessing.
