Ready For Fall

It's been a LONG summer and I am so ready for fall to be here! We have been stuck inside trying to stay cool for what seems like forever. September is here, football season is just around the corner, and I can't wait until the heat is gone for good and we can spend more time outside.

I thought staying home with the boys would give us all kinds of time to take walks, go to the park, or do any other fun things we wanted. But with Rachel gone three days each week working, therapy four days a week, and months of temperatures in the 90s and 100s, some days it's hard not to go crazy being around the boys all the time. When Rachel is home, I usually jump at the chance to run errands, help at church or anything else to get out of the house and be around people who speak with words (not ear-piercing screams).

Sometimes it's hard for us to see, but Jack and Luke are growing and changing every week. Jack has been crawling for about three weeks and Luke learned quickly and started last week. The living room has been rearranged a little and is mostly baby-proofed. Luke stays content and usually plays without moving too far. Jack will crawl all over the place and will follow you everywhere. Here are some pictures from the last month:

Jack trying to get himself under the couch (probably trying to get one of Lily's squeaking tennis balls)


Jack loves playing in the walker and trying to chase Lily


Luke likes having more time in the exersaucer since Jack is spending more time on the floor


Jack is everywhere - even getting stuck under the walker going after a toy


Taking a short nap

This is what we find some mornings - rolling over, trying to get close to each other, sometimes reaching through the middle trying to touch each other...
