End of Summer

We had a great last weekend before it was back to work for me...and kind of the end of summer. On Friday Nana, Evan, Wyatt, and I went to the Zoo. The boys had a great time riding the train, watching the manatees, and playing at the children's area. On Saturday morning Wyatt and I went to Gymboree and then played around the house. That evening we went to Nana and Papa's house for Evan's 2nd Birthday party. On Sunday Matt, Wyatt, and I had a nice day together. We spent the morning walking on the bike trail with our coffee, playing with Wyatt at the park, and then enjoying breakfast at Paxton's...one of our favorite restaurants in Old Loveland by the bike trail. The weather was beautiful and it was nice to spend a morning all together:) To end my time before work Wyatt and I went swimming with Nana on Tuesday afternoon and then enjoyed dinner on the patio at Maketewah, where Papa and Katie joined us. It has been a wonderful summer and it has been a lot of fun spending time with Wyatt. He's now back to school full time and I think Carrie and Sharon enjoy having him back everyday. He definitely keeps them entertained throughout the day:)

Michigan

Wyatt, Mosley, and I spent a great weekend in Michigan at my Aunt and Uncle's cottage with Nana, Papa, Doug, and Evan, and of course John and Vicki (my aunt and uncle). We had beautiful weather...it was actually on the chilly side for August. It was perfect sleeping weather though:) Everyone, except for Evan and Wyatt, slept outside on the screen porch at the cottage, so it feels great when it is a little chilly at night. While there for the weekend we went to the beach, went into town for the Blueberry Festival, hung out at the cottage, hiked in the woods, and went to the carnival at the park. Mosley loves going there and totally wore herself out! We all had a great time. Thanks John and Vicki!

Wyatt goes back to school full time next week and I officially start back to work on Wednesday. I can't believe the summer is over! Wyatt is still not walking regularly...he takes 5 or 6 steps here and there but really prefers crawling. He stands a lot and balances, and cruises along furniture, but just doesn't walk much independently. It will come:) He continues to do great with his signing and is able to communicate most of his wants and needs to us by signing. He also talks a lot and is a funny little guy. He tries to repeat everything we say! He's growing up so quickly!

Here are some pictures from our weekend in Michigan. I hope everyone has a good weekend.
