First Day of School

I just sent Max off to preschool. I felt like it was MY first day of school, I was so dang nervous. He's so little! Getting on that big bus, oh my laws. I'm twiddling my thumbs, I don't know what to do with myself! He was excited to go, thank goodness. I hope he feels that way when he comes home in... two hours and counting...

Grass

This weekend we finally laid our sod!

yeah, it's so nice!

Quick Trip

We did a quick trip of the annual camping trip to Stanley this year. This is how it went for Max:

1. He had all his shoes wet from the river within an hour;

2. He is still not fond of tent sleeping; actually, I (the over protective mother) still think he'll freeze, so I don't make him;

3. His diet consisted of: juice, ensure, milk. That's all. Not so different from home!;

4. He's perfectly content playing outside. He doesn't need toys! Just the great outdoors.

5. He can run extra fast with the mountain air, I'm pretty sure.

6. Who needs roads when you can ride/run/wander through the wilderness/mud/grass/water? Roads are for wimps, apparently.

I wish we could have stayed longer to do some more of the things we love up there! But I'm grateful we went. This was the first year I had both Max and Brandon there together with me!!

What Doing?

The happenings of life in July:

Max makes me laugh, cry, wonder- he's always good at provoking some sort of emotion from me. But mostly he just makes me happy. I love him just the way he is.

Sprinklers are finally in. Curbing is today. We're getting there. I feel like the little engine that could... i think i can.. i think i can... Even though I don't do it, it exhausts me. Ha!

I frequently find him in the sink. Why? You'll have to ask him. Must be fun.

Making a mess is more like it.

I went to girl's camp last week. So fun! It was only the second time I've left Max. I love my calling and these girls and leaders.

That's that. And now it's August!
