Boys Night Out

Friday I got out the tent and sleeping bags and got things ready on the balcony for Chris and Corban to go camping. They were both excited about the "boys only time" and headed to their campsite after dinner.

They told stories by flashlight, ate (trail mix and box juice), played cards, ran in circles (that was just Corban!), wrestled, looked at the stars, jumped (again Corban!), laughed, and stayed up late having fun together!

When it was time to go to sleep Chris brought Corban inside. While it is quieter and no bugs to bother you on the 3rd floor, there was also no breeze and it was too hot for them to get comfortable!

Besties

We stayed with our friends the Forman's while we were in Orlando to meet Ian, and all had a great time together! Corban and Brock were inseparable, loud and wild, mischievous and silly, playing rough and then giving hugs.

Ian is adorable! He came home Saturday evening and Mommy and baby are both doing great. We were able to go up to Orlando on Saturday and meet our new nephew/cousin Sunday afternoon!

Tuckered Out

Abigail (with me) and Corban are both still having fun at their Monday morning gymnastics classes. On Tuesday mornings we meet some other stroller walking mama's for a walk to Birch State Park, we stop to let the children have snacks, play on the playground and look for iguana and manatee! And the last few Friday afternoon's the children and I have gone to a public pool with a large splash park.
Our biggest update is that Abigail has started to use the potty! Usually only once a day, but she is so proud of herself and we make a big deal out of it!
