We have been so busy lately -- I have been working quite a bit (well, more than my short-one-day-a-week bit) which I have REALLY loved. I miss the kids but I love getting to work and also LOVE coming home b/c Kathryn and Garrett get so excited to see me. Now I know how Brad feels when he comes home and they both light up. I think it has been good for all of us, really.

We also have been having a lot of playdates lately! ALSO LOTS OF FUN! We just went over to Ava and Rachel's house. Ava was born 4 days before K and G (they actually tried to come the same night but we held them off a few more days). We also had Samuel there and little baby Austin. Of course my kids tackled Samuel but thankfully Austin was safe in his carrier...although Garrett was pretty curious about him.
July 19th was my PopPop's 89th Birthday so we went over to there house to visit. It was of course joyful chaos with all the kiddos but PopPop really seemed to enjoy it. Here he is with 3 of his grand-daughters and 8 of his GREAT grand-kids...pretty special...I am thankful to have this picture.

Kathryn and Garrett loved sitting with PopPop in his chair...I love this picture too b/c of PopPop and Garrett's big grins...I just missed Kathryn's grin...

I love these two boys...Garrett just MELTS my heart most of the time with that grin...he sees the camera and TURNS ON THE CHARM...quite hilarious. Ironically, I dressed Garrett in a new outfit and then Brad came out to go to church wearing a matching outfit...totally unplanned but it made for a great photo.

We went over to Mike and Jennifer's on Friday night...I was too busy chasing the two babies to get more pictures ... I think Jen got a cute one in the pool ... but I LOVE this one of Mike feeding Garrett. He was making airplane noises and feeding him baked beans...which G loves...they both were having a great time.

Born To Be A WILDCAT, anyone??? Not so much...the kids were NOT happy about their photo shoot. One by one they all either crawled away, fell over, or just cried. They all ended up SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER and we were all laughing so hard we couldn't pick them up to rescue them...

We will have to try again - although I am tempted to submit this to the ACU Today for publication!!!

Last but not least, and I might have already posted this, but my old roomies came over to see us. It was lots of fun and sweet Lindsey is having a baby girl this fall so we are very excited! I love both these girls...Sterling and I met our freshman year at ACU and have been friends ever since-she is an incredible friend!

I guess that wraps up the last few weeks...I haven't taken their "10 Month" picture in the chair but I will...oh, and if I haven't mentioned it...GARRETT is crawling too - started about 2 weeks ago-WooHoo! Life is so fun with two mobile babies...it hasn't made things harder at all - I love it!

Have a great week!!
