End of August

On the walk to the lighthouse on South Beach. I was not letting the kids out of the stroller...it made me so nervous!

At the beach in Michigan:) Notice the gardening toys! Ha ha We forgot the sand toys and who would have thought EVERYWHERE we went was out! So gardening toys were the closest thing. They loved them the same.

This was the shopping and dinning area at South Haven. We really enjoyed this area.

We took a family pic at the same place in the zoo that we did last year but it was taken from Brian's phone.

The LOVED the Zoo!

Nana came along with us! We had a great time shopping and going to the zoo with Nana:)

The water animals were a hit! They loved to watch them swim by. Aiden is all bent down waiting for it to come:)

Our first family picture taken on our new place!

I posted some pictures from our 2 trips we took recently. We went to Michigan and Chicago. I think the kids enjoyed the hotel rooms the most:) In Michigan they ran around yelling and laughing the whole time! It was so cute to see them enjoy the new space. They are growing up so quickly:)

Addie is communicating so well it is scary. Just the other day I gave her a snack and she tried and it then said "I don't like it." She'll even ask questions! One thing I'm sure that won't change for a while is her concern for Aiden at all times. She is such a little mother to him.

Aiden is hilarious! He is really into jumping (trying to) and running. His knees have been consistently skinned up this summer from running to fast on concrete. He is also talking non stop. Addie calls him Aiden and Aiden calls Addie sissy:) They loved shopping on Michigan avenue in Chicago (so did Nana and mommy) and playing on the beach in Michigan. I believe we will be moving in our new place in 2 weeks from now. It will be a slow process of painting and unpacking.
