Summer Catch Up

I have been a blogging slacker lately. But not as bad as you, Stacey. You have some serious catching up to do. Get on that! We have all been sick around here for the last week or so. Between colds and teething, I haven't got much done. We have had a little fun though. Christian is borrowing a Power Wheels ATV from his cousin, Johnny, until he is big enough to ride it. He has had so much fun doing loops around the house and going on ATV rides up the street to the park. He is really good at steering and has only crashed one time that I can think of.

Ashley is starting to walk on her own and can make it across the family room now. She is still a speed crawler and super mess maker. Not only does she empty the drawer full of the kid plates and cups, she climbs in to make sure she got it all.

Same goes for the toy basket.

And the playroom.

I really don't have a whole bunch of exciting things to report. It has just been a fun, lazy summer. We took a trip to Connecticut to visit friends, our first hotel stay, swimming in the backyard pool, the ice cream man, fireworks on the 4th of July...typical fun summer stuff. We are getting excited for a trip to CA in another month. Except that plane ride is going to be a bear. Have I mentioned Ashley is walking now? I wish they offered "family flights" so I wouldn't have to worry quite as much about being disruptive to other passengers. Because we will be. Very, very disruptive.
