Finally at Home

Finally at Home, originally uploaded by cheryl.

After hiding in the sun room for the first few weeks at our new house, Buster has finally decided it's okay to come inside. We think the real hard wood (versus the laminate in our old house) made him nervous. Clearly he's gotten over it, because this is now his favorite spot - right underneath the fan in the front room - and also right beneath the big picture windows on the front of the house, convenient for barking at people who dare to walk on the sidewalk.

Oh, No!, originally uploaded by cheryl.

Have I mentioned he lives a hard life? He's spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa and his cousins Austin and Kyndal at the lake. I'd say they're all having a big time, if this picture is any indication!

Special thanks to Grandma for sending the photos!

Pool Days

Double Trouble, originally uploaded by cheryl.

Despite being a busy summer, with the whole house remodel and everything, the boys have been kept busy and entertained thanks in large part to the extended family. Both sets of grandparents have taken turns entertaining them. Connor has spent a lot of time with Grandma and Grandpa at the lake, and the twins have spent a lot of time with Grammy at the pools and playgrounds closer to home. Aunt Kelly has even taken the boys on separate adventures as well. Not to worry, fun is still a big part of their summer despite all the changes they've been asked to adapt to along the way.

More pictures from our last day - with all three brothers - at the pool are here.

Adventures of a Big Boy

Big Smile, originally uploaded by cheryl.

The last few weeks leading up to our move, Connor spent his time at the lake with Grandma and Grandpa. In between boating and swimming and fishing and playing baseball in the yard, he took time out from his busy schedule to visit a local amusement and water park in the western part of the state, about a two-hour drive from Grandma and Grandpa's house at the lake.

If the look on his face is any indication, he had a big time. And this was before he made it to the water park part of the day. The smile just kept getting bigger! It's hard to be five, you know ...

More photos from the day are here.
