Got Sand?

The weekend after Labor Day the boys and I went with Nate's mom and step-dad to Mears (Silver Lake Sand Dunes) for the annual apple festival. Poor Nate had to work, so he got to stay home. It was tough, but we had a great time without him. The boys enjoyed the time they were able to spend at Lake Michigan digging in the sand!! We finally got Leland in the razor, but it wasn't easy. Which surprised all of us because usually he is all about riding motorized things. When he did finally get in he wouldn't ride with Dean, but he would ride with Kelsey (she is from Indiana and the niece of some friends of Dean and Sue's). He even went up test hill with her!! On the other hand Sutton was begging for a ride from the time he saw the razor on the trailer!!

Good Times

It is so nice to see them getting along!! At times it seems that moments like these are few and far between, but they are definitely coming more frequently.

How Many Dum-Dums Can You Eat In One Day?

The last Friday before I returned to work the boys and I went to my dad and step-mom's house. We had plans of spending the day at a park. However, mother nature had other plans, it ended up raining much of the day and it was rather chilly. So we decided to take a trip to Bryan Ohio to visit the Spangler Candy Company. The boys were thrilled to see free suckers located throughout the candy shop. I stopped counting the number of suckers they ate, it's a good thing dum-dums are small!!! We took a trolley ride through part of the factory, hence the stylish hair nets!! After the candy buffet we headed for some lunch at Sonic. Leland was even kind enough to share and feed Sutton, isn't that what brothers are for? After lunch we headed back to my dad and Kathy's house. Sutton had fell asleep so Leland picked pumpkins from the garden by himself. Thanks for the great day dad and Kathy!!

It's Official

Well..... these are definetly not 2 of the best pictures I have ever taken. However they are the pictures that sealed the closing of summer and the return to work and daycare. I went back to work on September 1st, so far so good. It is definetly an adjustment though after being off for almost 3 full months!!!
