Fun August Pics

Enjoy....I love capturing them when they are having the most fun. Usually this is outside or playing in the bathtub!

Miles is 6 months old

It is hard to believe that our littlest man is 1/2 a year old. He is still the smiliest and happiest little guy! This month he has learned to sit up on his own, is already starting to get on his hands and knees and rock (we're not ready for that yet :)), and his two bottom teeth are about to make their appearance any day! Both Will and Miles have done very well transitioning back to school, and we feel so fortunate to have Ready Set Grow.

They were both so good, so I couldn't choose which one to use...so here are both!

Happy 2nd Birthday Will

Will had a great time at his Gymboree birthday party. There was a lot of singing, dancing, and fun times to be had! We are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends to celebrate with us.

Peaches and Ice Cream

Pete took a Friday off in August, and we headed to Utica, Ohio, to pick peaches and have some yummy ice cream. It was the start of the month long celebration of Will's birthday. We started by getting some great peaches at Branstool and then headed over to the Velvet Ice Cream factory. The employees found out it was Will's bday party weekend and even surprised him with a special dessert and singing. That started the month of singing happy birthday at least 10 times a day!

More Fun in the Sun!

Go Reds!!!

We are so excited that the Cincinnati Reds have made it to the playoffs. We were really lucky this year to take Will to his first Reds' game with grandma, grandpa, Kevin, and Jen. It was a hot night, but we still had a blast. Will really likes all the "big guys"...or statues at the ballpark. We even took some pics of Miles in his new reds outfit before taking him to his great aunts to be watched. As Will likes to say, "Miles go to babysitter!". Good luck Reds in the playoffs!

Uncle Kevin is Home!!!

We had a great time in Cincy for the day! We were able to greet Uncle Kevin and Jen as they arrived home to Cincy! We are so excited for them because they are recently engaged, Kevin is officially done with the army, and they are moving to Chicago in a few short weeks. We also got to see Jace for the first time and we attempted a pic of all four grandsons. I think it will be many years until we can get one of all of them looking and smiling at the same time...by then there will probably be more little ones to add in too! :)

Ohio State Fair

We had a great time visiting the Ohio State Fair. This is our second year going, and Will really enjoys it. It is a wonderful place to see all the farm animals up close. This year Will was old enough to go on some of the rides, even though at times we weren't sure if he enjoyed it or not. The butter sculpture this year was with my favorite football player...Chinedum Ndukwe (he plays for the Bengals but also played for Notre Dame and is from the school district I teach in!)
