Tired Pup

What a comfy set up!?!!  Here you see one tired boy after his second full week of school but he's doing GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!!!!!!  Gone are the daily two hour naps but about every third day (plus the weekend) this is how you'll find him when he gets home.  We couldn't be more proud of Sam or more thankful for the kind teachers that push and encourage him each day!  Bryan and I are very excited to see what this school year holds for our dear boy. 

Row row row BOAT!

Campbell and I were playing on the floor for a few minutes while we waited to get Sam early from school today due to heat. She sings this song rather well but today I was only able to record a mumbly though still cute version!  Sorry for the who wants to be a millionaire noise in the background... it seems loud- we were watching the ticker for information about school cancellations.

I waited her out!!!

Campbell is such a talker!  Bryan and I are getting used to this new normal since those sweet sounds have yet to come from her brother.  We are both huge suckers for all that she has to say in her fun little voice.  She is very quiet shy when you first meet her and often doesn't speak much for a while when in front of others.  She is also quite stubborn and almost always refuses to cooperate when I pull out the camera.  This day I decided to wait her out and I'm glad I finally got a little of her cuteness recorded!  She has a lot to say and it's oh so lovely having conversations with her from sun up to sun down!

Flashback Friday

These pictures were taken at the beginning of March... how different they look a quick half of a year later <3 p="p">

proof her hair HAS really grown!!!!

kind of wild eyes in this picture but man does he seem a baby to me...
 

And now look at these two...

such a happy almost four year old!

 

 

can you hear her saying 'hi momma!!!'??

wrapping paper : )

Not sure what it's really called so I'm going to say today they continued to wrap our big present : )

This sweet face deserves more than a caption!  She and I are having such a great time together while Sam is at school!  Although it was 100 degrees outside today she was loving her hat and mittens while we played! 

 

We have quite the routine--- drop Sam off at school at 8:30, run a few errands, stop by the park and/or the new house, play for a while at home, eat early and put her down for an early nap so we can go grab her brother at 2:00!  She is a little lady that knows what she wants... right now I promise you I hear mom, walk and park at least 100 times a day!!!!!  She wakes up asking to walk or go to the park, tells me she needs her shoes as soon as she's out of her crib (so we can walk you know), tells me I need my shoes (so I can walk too you know!) and this continues til she gets her way... talk about persistent!  She, her little lady voice and her prancing around couldn't get any sweeter.  I'm so lucky this is how I get to spend my days!!!!

'I swim momma!'

 

First time floating with her floatie... with a little kind help from a fully clothed Lindsay!

We have a floor!  A few work-in-progress pictures and then a few from the end of the day when we could walk on it! Plan to backfill tomorrow and start framing on Thursday!!!

 

 

Day 5--- black seal and plumbing

Today they put the stinky black seal around the lower portion and did something to make the plumbing in the basement more official and ready for a floor to be poured. 

WHAT A FUN FIRST WEEK!!!!!
