Nick trying out Silas's wagon before he knew that he was getting one too!
Great summer picnic food......Thanks everyone!
This is a great chair but what am I supposed to do with it?
You want me to rip the paper off? OK but this is strange, wait, what is it, oh my gosh, it is a WAGON.....probably one of my first english words in the beginning, I have wanted one for soooo long, "thawnk on" so much........
There's more? Look, it is a twist-a-tryke like Logan's. I am so excited. (For new parents out there that want more bang for their buck, this is a great invention...a tricycle and then as they get bigger it becomes a big wheel with a twist and an adjustment...hmm, sounds kind of like becoming a mom at 40!
This is my first BLUE BELL homemade vanilla ice cream ( we have it here now!) It is the only part of Tx that my mom misses besides the family....now if only they would come here too!
Silas and I were serious about our ice cream. Being a hot day and having Ice Cream was part of our water hose adventure. Unfortunately, we were such an act that mama and papa didn't even get pictures.

It is a very rainy Tuesday morning here and Nick is playing with his cars and trucks while I type this and we are listening to a Gaither Vocal Band CD. A pretty good morning so far. We have had a few rough days lately but we just continue to learn and grow as a family. I promised myself that I would journal about all of the funny things that Nick is doing and saying so here are just a few......you truly cannot catch most of his antics in words because he is so expressive.
BREAKING NEWS.......
OK, we just had major happenings between the sentences here......I let Nick go out in the rain because he loves umbrellas right now and it was not lightning or thundering. He had a blast although he was a bit stressed that we had to leave his car outside in the rain until it dried off. After I brought him back in, I called Pat to tell him about our adventure and glanced over in the kitchen and there was water pouring in thru one of our recessed lights. That's right, the roof is leaking into our new (well almost newly remodeled ) kitchen. So, Pat rushed home and was unsuccessful at getting to the exact spot where it was leaking so he made a Home Depot run and bought a tarp. So, in the rain and trying to keep track of Nick, we got a tarp on the roof and the insurance company called. I don't think there is much damage since I was here and caught it but UGH! I guess this could be a result of the hail storm last month but maybe just an old roof...who knows. The adjuster should be out in a few days. What an eventful few hours! BUT, here are a few pics from Nick's first Rainy day adventure.
Trying to figure out a way to hold the unbrella and ride in my car.
He wanted a jacket and then a hat.....I think our next purchase will be a raincoat!
I bet Dr. Roza would be mortified if she could see me in the rain. This most likely will cause some disease or allergy of some sort but it sure is fun!
Now, BACK TO THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG.....the funny stuff.........tomorrow. Sorry, I am too brain fried now to concentrate......you know how it is....how much is the roof going to cost, was there any other damage, I don't want them to mess up my new kitchen, will our insurance go up, am I going to have to go back to work, aaaaaah! Cast your Cares upon the Lord for He cares for you.....Do not be anxious for anything, God does not give you more than you can handle, Pray without ceasing, Lift your eyes to the hills, from where your help comes, my Help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth......deep breath, deep breath.....Ok, I'm good and Nick's asleep. Peace and Quiet for a moment. I must go enjoy it. Stay tuned. K

we had some leaking today, too! Water wasn't really pouring in, I just noticed that I got splashed when I closed a cabinet door in the kitchen. Turns out, it looks like the roofers didn't do a great job of sealing up the spot where the electricity runs into the house (I'm sure there's a technical word for the pipe, but I don't know it.) Our leak wasn't quite as exciting, so it didn't make it onto the blog...
I can totally relate to the leak! Last week we got struck by lightening (just our luck!) and lost power from Wednesday until late Friday. They had to run new cable, which meant tearing up the blacktop on the driveway. In the process of digging the trench, they crushed the sewer line and severed the main gas line. This meant calling a plumber and evacuating the house at 7 AM with 2 young boys. All is somewhat back to normal, and things could have been much worse, but what a MESS! If only I knew a good insurance adjuster. :) Things will continue to improve. I am amazed at the few moments that my boys actually play quietly together without fighting or bloodshed. There aren't many, but I'll take them!
Karen,
You crack me up! Libby and I will see you and Nick on Friday.

PS Now I am going to try to post so I can catch up with you and Shannon!
Having our house hit by lightening twice now, I can relate. You just never know how your day will turn out. Hope your insurance guy will be easy to work with.
I am just catching up on the blog. Sounds like you guys are having lots of fun and new adventures.
