A couple of weeks ago, Papa Ron and Nana came to visit the kids. Well, they actually came to meet the newest grandson, Sam. It was a fun filled weekend with lots of family time. The kids really enjoyed their visit with them. We usually rotate houses for each day they are here and everyone gets a chance to host. We hosted Thursday because I don't work, so they can come to our house when they land and then everyone can come over after work. We had pizza and I actually had some. It has been a YEAR since I have had pizza. It was as delicious as I remember, but I did wake up feeling like I had a hangover. Oh well, I will have it again sometime, but just not as often as I did a long time ago.
Anyway, we did get a family shot:
Apparently my nephew likes to do a thumbs up in all his photos! Ha!!

Noah has been doing ok in his big boy bed. We have had some hiccups along the way. He is waking up in the middle of the night more often now. He used to sleep through the night, but not anymore. A lot of times he thinks there are bugs in his bed. We had to go and buy new sheets, because he would see big blobs and think they were bugs. Last night was particularly bad. He was up screaming for over an hour. Part of the problem was that Mike had been gone for 3 days and he didn't get home until after the kids went to bed last night and he went in there and at that point, Noah just wanted daddy. Noah is a smart kid and if you start with any bad habits, it only takes one night of sleeping in there to get it to be a daily occurrence, so we had to just keep going in and telling him that it was ok and that he could sleep just fine on his own. It is still rough, it is still an adjustment for him and it is just a phase (or at least that is what I have to tell myself).

We bought electric toothbrushes for the kids last week. If I would have known that doing this would cause them to want to brush their teeth a million times a day, I would have done it sooner. Nonetheless, they really like brushing their teeth.

Mike pulled his first sweet potatoes from the garden.
I baked one up and it was great. Looking forward to the fall when we will start getting the rest!

Mike was gone for a couple of days, so the kids and I went to the mall to get new kicks! I feel like we are always buying shoes!! Ava has been walking on the balls of her feet and it is causing her arches to hurt. I really need to take her to the doctor. In the meantime, we bought shoes that fit her now and not ones to grow into. The ones that she has to grow into are just too loose and couple that with how she has been walking and we were having daily issues. Noah had to get in on the action too because he is down to 1 pair. Never a good thing in this house!!
