Where is the month of August going? In a couple weeks I will back to teaching and I can't even believe it. I remember when I was a kid, I thought summers were never ending (I was one of those kids that loved school, hence why I became a teacher) and now I can't seem to get them to slow down. Before I know it my kids are going to be moving out!

Anyway, we've had fun around here. We finally finished putting up our craiglist find, our play structure, and absolutely love it. We spend many hours on the thing. At first we thought we might have been wrong getting it since Eva only hung out on one swing, but now she is all over that thing. I love that I can put Elijah down for a little nap and run out and play in our little park.
We also celebrated Eva's birthday at our house. It was fun to see so many of Eva's little friends and ours in our home. It was totally stressful throwing a party with a little one but worth it. That's why my dad is wearing a pinata (sorry no tilda for the n) on his head. I love the picture since we rarely get one of him smiling.

The last two are a couple of my favorites. Elijah has been figuring out the whole eye thing. Poor kiddo looks cross-eyed, but its gotten better. And the last one is of him three months. We just love the little guy!

So cute! I wanna go down that slide! Let's set up a play date... I'm sure Greg will be able to babysit the kids... You and me on that two person swing would make a very bloggable picture.

That's a nice play structure. We need to fix our ladders, but I know Owen will enjoy it when he's a little older. We should get together soon, before summer is over! :(
