End of Summer

Even though it doesn't necessarily feel like it, summer is over and we're begging for those cooler temps to come our way and stay for a while. We've been spending much more time outside, especially in the evenings. We love to eat an early dinner and then head outside to enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having.

Here's what the rest of our summer looked like...

Mimi stayed with us for a few days after the drive back from VA.

 

We were VERY sad to send her off to the airport. It's just never long enough!

 

We spent a morning showing my mom around GG & Goomba's new place here on the island.

 Love, love, love this! Layla awaiting a smooch from her Goomba. ;)

 GG got out lots of fun new things for the kids to play with.

 Eli had the best playmate!

Everyone came over to cook out on Labor Day. Goomba never hesitates to get right down on the floor with the kids. I love that about him!

 

 Eli is still an excellent helper, and loves to feed his 'sister baby.'

 We've spent countless hours at the park.

 And Layla learned to drive...yikes!

 One of the great things about being a second child, is being able to enjoy these fun toys a little sooner!

We hardly ever have time for pictures before church these days, but I did get this one of my beautiful girl one Sunday.

 

Again, lots of outside time! This girl is happy as can be out in the fresh air.

She loves to play with a ball!

 Somebody is on the move! She's trying so hard to be everywhere her brother is.

 Oh the tongues!

 We cleaned out the playroom last weekend and baby proofed the area. Layla is loving it!

She loves to stand. She locks her knees when you try to sit her back down to play.

 

That's all for now...very ready for some Fall activities soon! Eli has been counting down the days until our favorite pumpkin patch opens.
