They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But how bout' just a few words and no pictures? I know, seems like a crazy thing to do, right. Well, we've been posting mostly pictures in previous posts; mostly because its quicker, easier, and less taxing on the brain. That is another way of saying, life is gosh-darn crazy with two little girls. Why didn't someone warn us?
So, what have we been up to lately? We've squeezed in multiple cabin rides this summer, and have been blessed with safe travels and not too much trouble from the girls. There was that one trip when mama Catherine and aunty michelle got stuck in Akely (the middle of nowhere) but even then, Abby and Adi were unphased by the drama. We have seen more relatives (on both sides) then we can even count this summer but Adelyn, especially, was grateful to meet so many special people. The cabin trips have slowly been sputtering as mommy is back to work at the hospital and the hustle/bustle of life is back in full pendulum. While we won't admit that summer is almost over, it will soon be impossible to ignore the changing color of the leaves.
Catherine and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary on Wednesday (the 19th). 2 babies in 3 years; not bad huh? In 12 years, we'll both be about 40 and if you crunch a few numbers, I think that puts us around 10 kids all in. Maybe we can pick up our own reality TV show to help pay for college and weddings? Ok, I am digressing as usual. The anniversary turned out to be a little less romantic than we had hoped for, as all the girls (mama, adi, and abby) got the dreaded "hand, foot, and mouth" disease. Yes, thats a real thing. So we canceled our dinner plans and mommy took a much needed nap. Dad ordered pizza, and studied up for fantasy football. Quite the night :). Everyone is slowly recovering (we hope) but needless to say, Abby has been keeping us up all through the night. We are praying for her speedy recovery.
Adelyn is getting bigger and smarter every day. She has recently been learning to pedal her two wheel bike with training wheels. She loves it... until she realizes she is speeding down the driveway, headed for the street. We are very proud of her level of patience with the baby, given the amount of care/attention Abby has needed recently. Adelyn is never upset, but cherishes her time with us when the baby is napping. She'll often snuggle up with you and say "I love you" or "I'm just hugging you". Too cute. We've started looking for fun fall programs for her and mom to join once summer ends. There are multiple options thru the city of Burnsville and Adelyn cherishes time with other children, so we are excited about it.
We've got many more pictures, so we'll have to find a good time to upload them to the blog. We hope to venture north to the cabin (both wallace and bye) one more time before we close up shop. We've definitely enjoyed our summer and hope you have too. Adi and Abby say hi and can't wait to see you soon.
Lots of Love!
