July & August 2015

Just a quick little round-up of July and August in pictures! 


One of the perks of living where I grew up - I got to take pictures of Canon on the porch of the house I lived in until high school, let him play at the same playground across the street and go to the same 4th of July carnival at my old elementary school!

Recently, Canon has been playing "church" and will sing from the hymnal and offer communion to us!

I got to get away for an awesome weekend at Camp Carysbrook!



This kid - is just getting SO big! Months 4 - 8 have really flown by!


A little playdate in Waynesboro with my college girls!



Haircuts for the whole family!

Ben went to California to see the Schultz Family and had a great time getting spoiled and loved on by Grandma!


We got to hang out with Elizabeth, from Teaching Sam and Scout, and her sweet boy. Elizabeth is from VA and went to Clemson, but we didn't connect until the last few years because of blogging! It was so fun getting to meet them in real life and chat in person.


That same weekend, Cousin Cole came over for his and Canon's first sleepover! Then to the Zoo with MoMo, Amanda, Wes and my aunt Fran!





Again, this one. Wanting to pull up all the time and could possibly start cruising soon!

 

Church! 

I don't even know. But on a somewhat related note - we've successfully conquered Potty Training!

And that has been our summer! Aaron has work week for school next week, the back to school picnic is next Saturday, and then Canon turns 3 on September 4th! All that to say - FALL IS COMING!

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

22 weeks (5 months)

this kid cracks me up Just like every mom, I say this every month, but I can't believe he is already 5 months! I'm not going to lie, this event has really caused me to kick my mommy-ness into gear. It is time to get this kid together, ha! So this week I have been really intentional about making sure we get lots of tummy time in, practicing rolling over, lots of time in the bumbo chair and on the couch sitting up and being super silly to pull out those giggles! And honestly, we're having the best time! Not that I wasn't doing these things before, but I had a bit more laid back approach assuming that he'll just learn things on his own. And he will, but now I'm just more up in his face pushing him along! We got over being sick, for the most part, at the end of last week. Since he had been sick, I'd been rocking him a lot more, going into his room during naps/nighttime almost every time he cried, putting the pacifier back in his mouth, etc. Well, let me t...

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer?  We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!!  What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)?  The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that!  Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...
