Mmmm? Check me out Mom!

Can anyone guess how Uncle Jus wears his phone sometimes? :)

Conversations on the deck

Austin and Papa having a serious conversation on the deck. It's so fun to see how animated he (or they both for that matter ;D) become when they're together.

Help! Help!

Had to snap this shot before running to assist. Austin was trying to chase Duke into the pasture and got stuck...he he...

Below referenced 2 SF of dirt :)

...with the truck and trailer set Jus surprised Austin with. A set so versatile it can fit not only horses, but also helicopters with their blades folded, a variety of farm animals, and micromachines...at the same time ;)

Chillin' in the fort

While in Louisiana we had an awesome time playing with the kids. Austin dutifully found the 2 square feet of dirt on the 5 acre property, and Haley regaled us with horse shows in her room. One night Jus busted out his guitar and played Malaguena, which proved to be so much fun. We had the playsilks going and kids (and Nana and me) twirling and stomping and calling "Again, Again!"

Austin the tree-climber

While in MN Austin got to spend about 3 seconds climbing a tree (chasing sweet Lulu cat that Austin fell in love with) until he was "all done!" There was also some fabulous man-bonding time while there :) Ford dumped out some a pile of macaroni noodles and he and Austin worked dutifully moving piles from one side to the other of the carpet with diggers, dumpers and trailers :)

Quick preggo shots before Austin wakes up!

Quick before Austin wakes up from his nap I have to post some belly shots! Above is the last time my regular swimming suit fit around 8 months. Below, here we are in the airport with Austin sleepy on my back in a wrap and the baby 7 months along!
More to come too. Some friends are planning a Mother Blessing that will be at our house this Friday. I'm really looking forward to this!
