MS Trip in July

We were able to make a trip down at the end of June to spend a few days visiting family. My dad made the trip up to Illinois to pick up myself and the kids. When Jeremiah was Susannah's age, he was a wonderful car rider and you hardly ever knew he was in the car. However, Susannah makes her presence known and usually not in a good way. She doesn't like her seat, she hates to sleep in the car and would just rather be laying on a blanket on her belly. I'm hoping (and praying) that the older she gets she will tolerate a car ride.

We had a great time visiting everyone and Jeremiah loved being able to play with his cousins. Susannah enjoyed laying on her blanket and showing everyone how she could hold her head up. We took the kids to a water spray park in Brookhaven one morning and Jeremiah had fun. I had to walk with him out in the water first, but once he started getting wet he had a blast. Robert came down on the 4th of July, since he had off work, to pick us up. We all survived the car ride back home and look forward to our next visit in September.

One very sad face

Not really liking the water park

Around the House in June

I'm posting some random pictures I took of the kids around the house in June. I can never say this enough, but I love that I'm able to stay home with my kids on a daily basis to watch them grow. They are a true blessing and gift from God. 

Jeremiah loving on his baby sister. He's a great big brother.

Susannah with her pretty brown eyes.

He loves his train engineer apron, gloves and hat. I
got this with points off packages of huggies=free!!

Spending time with his sister ~ I love how they have such a

First time wearing pants with pockets ~ He walked
around the house most of the day with his hands in
his pockets.

A Day at the Park

I know, I know...it's been two months since my last post. All I can say is keeping up with two kids is keeping me busy. We were able to go to the park sometime at the end of May and we had a great time. The weather was so nice and made for a pleasant day outside. Jeremiah loves playing baseball, so our first task of the afternoon was a game with dad. They had a great time pitching, hitting and running.

 

Jeremiah has some sweet friends in Mississippi that gave him the coolest Thomas the Train bubble blower. Our second task of the day was to try out his new bubble blower and even daddy joined in on the fun.

 Susannah survived her first visit to the park that day. I did manage to get a few pictures of her hanging out watching her big brother have fun.

Taking it easy

You can tell by the look on Jeremiah's face
that he really didn't want to take this picture.
