Pumpkin Patch

We went to a pumpkin patch this morning.  A few people from our community group met there with their kiddos.  We took a few pumpkin pics and then Drew rode a pony and went on a train ride.  It was fun to hang out with friends, but so hot, so we headed home (after a breakfast trip to Broken Egg of course).

Checking out the goats...

Mommy had to do the train ride...

He loved the pony!  Please disregard the pink saddle. :)

Wedding Bells!!!!

I am beyond words excited for my best friend Sarah!   She is engaged and getting married this summer!  Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart."  This verse keeps ringing in my head today.  My friend is an amazing Godly woman who has truly sought to grow in her relationship with Christ and strived to look more like Him everyday.  I am so thrilled that God has blessed her and given her Jay who desires the same for his life.   We are praying for you guys and can't wait to celebrate with you next summer!

Sarah and Jay and the ring!

Sarah and I this summer with little man

Sarah and I in Houston in '06.  She has been to visit us in both Florida and Houston.

11 Months Old

A little bit in shock that Drew is 11 months old today!  What a true joy this little man is.  I had a good time taking his 11 month picture today because he was just laughing and having a good time.  You can also see a month by month collage....this time next month it will be time to party!!

Who needs toys?

Drew was cracking me up in our guest bedroom today.  He thought playing on these pillows was the coolest thing!

What has Drew been up to?

What have I been up to lately?

Clapping, eating waffles and grilled cheese, standing on my own for a few seconds, walking behind my walker, going for walks in my  blue car, laughing, imitating sounds mom and dad make, outgrowing my clothes, eating snacks out of my snack trap, helping mom fold laundry or maybe unfold laundry, playing in my friend Mia's tunnel, crawling under the table, playing chase with Daddy, and most of all I like to make my mom and dad laugh.

Big Race and Big Boy!

The Susan G Komen 5K in St Pete was last Saturday.  It has been my goal since the beginning of August.  I am excited to say I was able to run the race!  The last few weeks I haven't been as consistent in my running because of pesky allergies, but I was proud to be able to finish and finish well.  My friend, Lisa, was a great encouragement!  I am looking forward to another race in October or November!

Look at this big boy!  We turned his car seat around this weekend.  I know it is a little early, but infant carrier was getting a little snug and it is still 90 degrees around here, so facing forward keeps him cooler!

Morning Trip to the Park

Today we had a nice break in the Florida heat, so Drew and I went on a morning adventure.  After his nap, I put him in the stroller and I ran to a park in our neighborhood.  We played for a little bit and then I ran home.  The park has astro turf/fake grass/whatever you want to call it and little man wasn't to sure what to think about it!  I am looking forward to many more cooler days spent at the park!

Yes, Grammy...he is crawling up the slide.

What is this stuff, mom?

Ready for the trip home!
