It's Been a While

Hi!

It has been a while.

I am going to blame my lack of writing on my lack of picture taking this summer.

We were at Hershey Park on Friday.

Did we bring a camera? Nope. Didn't even bring our phones.

We told the boys to take pictures with their minds so that they don't forget the memories:). David suggested that we keep the map and write about the trip in their journals so that we have proof that we went.

We were in NY this weekend and saw a beautiful firework display on the lake.

Did we bring a camera? Nope. Didn't even bring our phones.

The boys drew pictures about it, though. Haha! Good thing they enjoy art:).

Here are two pictures for you...

Boys swimming at the pool with our good friends. David continues to be quite strong with his swimming and Anthony picked up again quickly too.

We will be caring for a newborn baby girl in just a few days! She will be with us for eight days. We can't wait. Here is a picture of the boys holding the adorable outfits I just HAD to buy for her. I'm pretty sure Lee thought I was nuts, but you have no idea how excited I was to buy for a baby girl for the first time - ever.

Anthony and David are growing up so fast. David turned 8 yrs old last month and it is fun to watch him mature! The boys are now able to have disagreements and resolve them independently. That is a big deal. They have both developed a love for reading and yesterday Anthony was begging me to take him to the Library. Last week, we went three days in a row. He will read at least three chapter books in one day. That boy is a fast reader.

Next month, David will be taking a basketball class. He has been asking for months to take a class that teaches him the rules. He is constantly jumping and pretending to shoot baskets. Anthony will be taking a soccer class. If they are really into it, we'll try to get them on a team.

Anyway, hopefully it won't be so long before my next post! I'll have to at least update with pictures of  cute little baby feet or something:).
