Wow, it has been a loooooong time, people. I am going to attempt to get everyone caught up with our lives since I last blogged back in J-U-N-E...as quickly as possible...mainly with pictures, because that's really what people enjoy right? Here we go....

| Chalin spent lots of time enjoying the sprinkler and his slip-n-slide. |
 | |||
| Chad also enjoyed the slip-n-slide...and I'll admit I did, too, once I understood the concept of "sliding" and not "jumping." |
 |
| Chalin finished up his 3rd season of t-ball and took home the 1st Place Trophy! We celebrated with the team at CiCi's Pizza. |
 |
| The Cubs are the CHAMPS! |
 |
| Hung out with our little turtle friend and spent hours on Chalin's playground. |
 |
| I celebrated my 10 year reunion and caught up with some great friends! |
 |
| I can't even begin to image how many hours we spent at the zoo this summer. We love love LOVE zoo trips! |
 |
| I ran my first ever Color Me Rad race with some great friends. We had a blast and definitely plan on running it again! |
 |
| Chalin loved drawing with chalk and became very detailed in his drawings...notice Chad's huge head and my enormous eyes? |
 | ||
| Super hero play-dates at the Murray's! |
 |
| More play dates with some superheroes. Great buddies. |
 |
| Quite the artist...sidewalk painting. |
 |
| This quickly became a favorite activity. I learned if you basically squirt the entire bottle of food coloring when mixing, you get some amazingly bright sidewalk paint! |

| Chalin and Chad had many "camping" trips right in our living room and loved every minute of it! |
 | ||
| Yep. I did it. Judge if you must. I love it. I worked hard to find the perfect font. I wrote it out on paper probably a 100 times to get it exactly how I wanted it, so it could be "my" writing. It's one of my absolutely favorite verses. Psalm 37:7. It serves as a constant and permanent reminder to "Be still and wait patiently on the Lord..." no matter what each day may bring. I really needed this after our adoption fell through in June and I don't for one second regret my decision. It made it even better that I had some amazing friends to go with--thank you April, Anna, and Autumn!!! |
