Aunt Katie's Visit

We had a wonderful visit with Aunt Katie this summer. Over the past few years we have had the opprotunity to have her for the entire summer, but this year had to get all the fun in with just two weeks! We played at the splash park, Children's Museum, swimming pool and at home. Went shopping, to the Cheesecake Factory, Holiday World, State Fair, and to see Winnie the Pooh... and now we are all exhausted! Aunt Katie got a recording studio for the computer from her sisters for her 17th birthday and Oh singing we did - Aunt Katie and I came up with two new songs for the boys - The Basketball Song and Isaiah We Love You. Finally, we went to the Creation Cafe and took some pictures on the canal for our last adventure before Katie was off to Texas. Andrew and Eliza had fun thinking of all the things that could be in the Holiday World water tower - this little game has kept Andrew and Isaiah laughing, even as we were leaving the park! The favorites are popcorn and chocolate milk are likely what is being held in the tall tower! Aunt Katie (in her new outfit) and Holly looking beautiful

When we got home Andrew told Daddy that we went to Indiana today - funny that he thinks downtown is Indiana!

Painting

While Mommy and Daddy spent the evenings painting the deck - 20+ hours over two weeks, Andrew and Isaiah got their brushes out to do some art work of their own! Andrew (and Isaiah) love the new paints, esle and adorable smock - thanks Grandma Debbie and Papa Tim!

Yes... Perfecto!

The Faces of Isaiah

Isaiah LOVES the outdoors and especially enjoys doing EVERYTHING big brother does, including climbing to the top of the clubhouse! He cries if anyone opens the backdoor and does not take him outside with them and has crawled/walked every square inch of the backyard since the first time I put him in the grass! He is now our full-time walkerThat loves to explore and can make it to the top of the clubhouse exceptionally FAST! He is our super sweet adventurer!
