August? It's already August?

Once again, I have allowed a bunch of time to pass between posts.  Sitting down to write a blog post crosses my mind often, then I forget, get distracted, or just really don't have the time.  Sowwy. :/

We have had a great summer and I can not believe that it is already August.  School is starting soon for most people, and school supplies are all you see when you walk in to almost any store right now.  It all makes me SO excited because it means that it is almost FALL.  I have been craving fall since July 5th.  I want to see pumpkins, leaves, cool weather, scarecrows, hay, crock pot meals, football, etc.  I can't wait.

Carter started walking a few weeks ago, and he is a super walking pro now.  He is just determined to keep up with Annabelle.  He is an amazing almost one year old.  Such a gift!  Craig and I are totally smitten over this little toddler we have.  I think I mentioned a few posts back how much fun it is to watch this little sibling relationship develop.  It just keeps getting better.  They love each other and have so much fun laughing and playing together.  Sure, they battle over the same toys at times, and already seem to argue a bit, but they are precious together.

 I love this pic of Annabelle playing in the rain....

Look at this guy!

We have spent a lot of time in the back yard pool this summer.  The kiddos love it.

Oh, and he has figured out how to climb up the slide.  Danger. ;)

 4th of July

We aren't sure yet if Annabelle will be returning to school this sememster.  Craig and I are praying about it a lot.  But, I will do my best to update regularly!  

As for now, I want to leave you with this amazing blog post I read today.  I can relate in so many ways as I read the words of this momma...
