Fall is in the air...

Pennsylvania was wonderful. Evie did not like driving in the car, at all. Sean was a trooper. We thought Evie would sleep at least some of the time, but other than a few 20 minute cat naps, she was awake & crabby!!! Other than the drive, they both did great though. We got Sean a froggy swim trainer & he was a little fish!! Daddy & Sean swam every day we were at the Knights Inn, some days more than once. On Saturday, 08/14, we went to the drive in & saw Despicable Me. Evie slept the whole time & Sean was thrilled that we could watch a movie outside & listen to it in our car! We visited family in Whitney & Latrobe. Sean loved playing with the kids & Evie got lots of outfits from her PA family! We shopped & had lunch in Ligonier & then we headed to Jones Mill to stay at Living Treasures Animal Park. Sean loved feeding the little goats. He was worried that they didn't get to eat enough because they were so small. Such a compassionate little boy! On Tuesday, 08/17, we went to Idlewild amusement park. We rode the Mister Roger's trolley together & Sean & Daddy went on the Log Ride. Sean said he had butterflies in his belly and then it felt like he couldn't hold onto his belly anymore. :) We headed home on Wednesday after having lunch with Sam, Tyler, Mackenzie & Hannah. We got home around 8:00. Our Andy & Grandpa Jim were waiting for us. Happy birthday to Aunt Mary!!! On Thursday, 08/19, we took Sean & Evie to Grandma Sue's to play with her & Paiger while we went golfing with Puppa & Uncle Billy. On Friday, 08/20, we had breakfast with Grandma & then got Sean's hair cut. Sean went over to Grandma's house to play for awhile, then we all went out to Armada to go to the Armada Fair. Evie & I stayed at the house because it was too hot. Sean & Daddy went with Grandma, Uncle Mike, Aunt Nicole & the kids. He got to see cows, play fair games & ride rides. They saw Aunt Val, Nathan & Alex there too. On Saturday, 08/21, we went to breakfast with Grandma & Ms. Jo. Later that afternoon, Grandma came over to play with Sean & Evie while I went to Ms. Stacy's 30th birthday party. On Sunday we went to church & tried to get everything in order from being "off" for over a week. I LOVE family vacations. I was sad to go back to reality, back to work and back to being away from daddy & the kids for any length of time. On 08/22, Grandma Sue, Grandpa Larry & Grandpa Jim came over while I went to the doctor. Sarah & her boyfriend stopped by to visit too. Sean went to see "Marmaduke" with Grandpa Jim. That evening, we went to Grandma & Puppa's for dinner. Sean & Evie got to hang out with Puppa for awhile while I made dinner. They "read" Sean's favorite book. They really just look at the pictures & make up funny stories. After dinner, Sean & Grandma played games on pbskids.org. Sean is so good at computer games!! On Wednesday, Ms. Kim, Carter & Chase came over for a visit. Carter & Sean play so good together. Grandpa Jim brought us pizza for lunch. Sean & Daddy took Andy to puppy school at night. Another cool thing that happened was that Sean brought his gospel cube to me & asked how he could go to heaven. I said, you have to believe that Jesus died on the cross for you & that he's alive today. Sean said, "I do". Then I said you have to tell him you're sorry for any poor choices you've made, that's called sin. And promise him that you'll try to make wise choices that make him happy. Sean replied, "I will". Then I said, you have to spend time with him, get to know him & tell everyone about him. Sean replied, "I will". Then he said, "I can't wait to see God's face". What a special moment with such an amazing little boy. God has big plans for him!! On Thursday, 08/26, Evie turned 3 months old and it was like a light switch turned off (or on!). She decided she wasn't a little baby anymore, so she didn't have to nap very much during the day. Instead of 2-3 hour naps through out the day, we get 20 minute naps every so often. I miss content, napping baby for long periods of time!! But, she sleeps 10-12 hours at night, so I'll take it! She's talking & smiling a lot more. Plus, she started grabbing her feet. Big girl!! Literally, big girl. Daddy weighed her & she's up to 15 lbs! This day Sean & Evie spent the morning with Grandma Sue & Paiger while Aunt Susie went to the church for a meeting. Sean went back to Grandma Sue & Grandpa Larry's to spend the night. On Friday, Evie & I went to WWCS to register them for school! Evie will start in the baby room & Sean will start in the 4 year old room every Thursday morning after Labor Day. Sean went to a "state fair" at Father Murray's with Grandpa Jim, Paiger & Great Gram. That night, Daddy had a fantasy football draft and I went out to dinner, so Grandma came over to play with Sean & Evie. Sean didn't have a nap, so I thought for sure he'd go to bed early. But, Grandma was lucky ;). He stayed up to play with her until 10:30!! Yesterday we went to breakfast with Grandma. In the afternoon, me, Daddy, Sean & Evie went to visit Great Gram & see Mr. Barney play guitar & sing at Father Murray's. Last night we went to Dairy Queen with Kiara. Today was church and then dinner at Grandma & Puppa's. Plus, Grandma & Sean went to Toys R Us. They are a dangerous duo in a store like that!!! Like kids in a candy store. Or, kids in a toy store. :) Tomorrow Sean & Evie are going to Aunt Susie's then we're going to Aunt Mary's for dinner with her, Scott, Grandma & Puppa. I'm missing the lovely fall weather we had last week. Tomorrow is suppose to be 91!!!
