Since my last post, we've made 3 trips to Grandmas' houses, so I will give a brief recap of each:
#1 to Nana's
We visited Nana for a few days and enjoyed a picnic at Georgetown Park,
making cookies with Nana,
and a trip to a nearby petting zoo,
including a free wagon ride provided by Uncle Stephan.
#2 to Grandma's
Then we headed south to visit Grandma. Our visit included lots of sidewalk chalk (Michale is so funny! Whenever I say "Look up" so I can take a picture, he takes me literally and looks straight up.),
a trip to the Texas Transportation Museum (of course!),
and a trip to Natural Bridge Caverns.
Michael looooooves caves! He has had his room decorated as a cave ever since he saw the Caves episode of Planet Earth--complete with stalagmites, stalactites, bats, and birds.
Sadie liked it too!
Thank you, Grandma, for making this little boy's dream come true!
#3 back to Grandma's
A few days after getting back home, we got a phone call from Grandpa saying he was just called to be the bishop of their ward. So, we made another quick trip the following weekend to see him sustained and set apart. What a special day!
Coincidentally, that Sunday was also Grandparent's Day. Michael and Sadie made some very sweet cards.
More pics & updates:
Matt is in the middle of his second-to-last semester of law school. Yikes this semester is going by fast! He will be taking his first midterm next week.
He is the sweetest husband and father!. . . .and yes, he is still giving me 2 hours a week free!
Michael is all over the place. He is the sweetest little boy most of the time, and then in in a split-second, he throws himself into a raging fit. He is talking non-stop now, and he loves to sing. He favored me with a spontaneous rendition of "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam" this afternoon. He is learning to dress himself . . . that is to say more correctly, to undress himself. (I leave him in a room fully clothed and come back a minute later to find him completely stripped.) He loves making little crafts, helping in the kitchen, and wearing hats!
Sadie is close to walking. She loves holding my hands leading me around the house. With the cooler weather, we've started taking more walks, and more often than not, she will lead me to the stroller and start climbing in wanting to go out. She uttered her second word last week --duck! (She has several bath toy ducks she loves playing with, so I guess that just stuck. --"Mama," was her first word, of course!) She loves reading just as much as Michael did at this age and will drag books up to Matt and me wanting us to read to her. She hates wearing hats! I had to really work to snatch this one before she whisked it off her head.
