Summer 2009

This summer has been a great one! Owen learned to swim & is now our little fish. He loves going to the pool! Drew also took lessons & was taught to float on his back - he wasn't crazy about the lessons, but since he has NO FEAR at the pool, it brought us a little bit of peace-of-mind! He stands on the edge & says "mark, set, go" and the dives right in... whether you are ready or not!



We had a great trip to Rosemary Beach. The drive is long, but 100% worth it! The beaches are beautiful, and the water clear. It was so much fun to spend time with family... here is a picture of the whole gang....





We also spent a weekend in Goliad with Josh's mom, Les & Josh's brother & his family. We had a fun time swimming & walking around Goliad.




Most of our summer has been spent right here at home... We would do our outings in the morning, and then spend the afternoons here at home in the AC - it is so HOT this summer... it is unbearable outside in the afternoon!


Drew had his 2nd trip to the ER this summer too.... :( he banged his head, and then.... eyes rolled back, and he passed out. It was scary, but after a check-up from the ER pediatrician, he was totally fine. We actually learned it is quite common that kids hit their heads, get shocked by the sensation & hold their breath until they pass out....We decided that even though it is "common" we are hoping for it NEVER to happen again - it was really scary!


Bethany Methodist School starts back in September. Owen will go back 2 days a week & little Drew will be going 1 day a week.... I love the school, and we are excited that we will be back to a schedule soon!
