September update!

I am just now getting back into the swing of things following Hurricane Ike! We made it through fine. We had no power or phones for five days, but we survived. The beautiful weather that followed the storm was actually a real blessing. We thoroughly enjoyed all the outside play time and quiet afternoons. You tend to forget the real pleasure that is laying on the couch with the windows open, breezes blowing freely through your house, smells of grass in your nose and distant sounds of people playing outside (sorry for the flashback to creative writing!) It was great family time.

Olly used the down week to learn to crawl. He loves it! He has become an expert in short time. Fritz started gymnastics classes in the beginning of September and is having tons of fun. I wouldn't call him the next Paul Hamm, but he sure is having fun.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.




Here is a crazy picture of Hurricane Ike blowing in:

Great update, I'm glad you all survived the storm. We were w/o power for almost 2 weeks, it stunk. The pictures of the boys are so cute. I can't believe Olly is standing on his own.
