More swimming!!

We've had such a great summer with warm weather and few bugs. We've gotten so much swimming in, it's been really fun. Last week was a really hot week, especially for the end of August/beginning of September, so we got one more good pool week in! Isabel made a big step during this time as she jumped off into the pool without holding on for the first time. Of course, she did this jumping to her Grampa, not her mom! She's got the belly flop down!

Linsey's Shower

A couple weekends ago, I took the kids to Virginia, via plane, without Josh. It was quite an undertaking especially as we were a few hours delayed in Burlington, then diverted to Charlottesville, to sit on the airplane for an hour, then finally to Leesburg! During the 8 hour trip, the kids were amazing very well behaved. Not to say they were perfect, but no major meltdowns. That's success in my book. We had a great weekend visiting with the family. The kids had a blast with their grandparents, aunts, uncle and cousins most of all. We got to swim a lot in Grammy and Gramps pool even though it was overcast and not very warm. The point of the trip was to go down for Linsey's bridal shower. Casey, and family friends, put on an amazing shower consisting of wine tastings and LOTS of yummy food. Linsey looks beautiful and can't wait until the wedding in October! By the way, the flight home was on time and a piece of cake (Cooper was so exhausted he slept most of the way)!




This was the white wine table. There was also a red wine and dessert table.



The Bride to Be and Mother of the Bride!


Cousin Jackson

Isabel's first time using floaties and floating without assistance. Since that weekend, she's gotten her own set and is getting quite independent with them!


Cooper and Ryan insisted on sharing the fire engine bed for nap time. Needless to say, no sleeping took place during this "nap time"!
