Summer memories are beginning!

Austin just turned 11 months old.  I can't get enough of his smiles and cuteness.  :)
 
His favorite places right now are the porches or swing or with Mike on the mower or skid loader.  OK, anywhere outside.  :)  In the morning, he sits on the front porch.  He used to watch the kids get on the bus and then be out there for awhile.  School is now over but he still likes it out there.  Then in the afternoon he likes the back porch.  He gets so dirty from head to toe!!! 
 







Every time Mike gets on the skid loader Austin wants along.  He absolutely loves it!

Tonight, Matthew was setting up a tent in the back yard when he heard Austin splashing in water.  Austin was watching Matthew and crawled into his little pool on the back porch.  There was only a little amount of rain water from earlier today in it but it is a reminder for me to put the pool away so no accidents occur.  And yes, we have one tiny pool for Austin and one for Ashlyn.  :)


Matthew set up the tent tonight in hopes of using it this weekend.  We had plans on taking Hadassah's class to the cabin but now that is canceled because a dear friend of ours, Carol Glick, passed away from battling cancer.  She is now dancing and praising Jesus in heaven.  Denver, her son, is in Hadassah's class.  Please join us in prayer for the Glick boys and husband Dale.


Then after supper tonight, I was loading up the dish washer.  Austin comes a tearing over and pulls out a wooden spoon that I had used for mac n cheese.  He chowed for the first time tonight on macs!!!  :)  Now he's licking the spoon.  He also has some milk in his hair from Mike's cup on the top shelf of the dishwasher. 

Oh how I love this kid!!!

Our days are busy.  We can't wait to go to the pool for the first time this summer.  We have lots of events to look forward to this summer!  What a blessing to have healthy bodies and active kids to keep me young.  :)))
