Goodbye Summer!

With another summer pretty much behind us, like others, we are gladly welcoming what seems like a few early cool-downs for southeast Texas. It has been a summer with two exhausting moves of our home contents accompanied with the all-to-usual brutal heat and gulf coast humidity. Now that we have been settled in our final new place for almost 2 months we can say that we are truly enjoying this house and the neighborhood. The highlight of Kolby's day is no longer the moment of dismissal from school, it's the short walk home he is able to make with is cousin. It doesn't matter that I'm waiting at the stop sign down the street at the half-way point, I'm suddenly some weird grown-up walking just ahead so Kolby still gets to show off that big-boy independence.

Fall-baseball has started and Kolby is no longer a t-ball player, Kolby now hits dingers off of a pitching machine! He is having a blast and it shows everytime he cranks one into centerfield, no joke! Dispite his 2 strike-outs in the 1st game he is sure that it will be different when he goes up to bat next Saturday. We were ready before but the 1st real game going up against machine pitch which pitches the ball quite a bit faster was a little nerve-racking compared to those laid back no pressure pratices.

Logan is still amazing us all the time. He is becoming more and more attached to all of us. Growing and cracking us up all the time. He is interested in everything, points at everything, and MUST HAVE EVERYTHING!!! Why just a few ours ago we were cleaning up the kitchen after a spagetti dinner that Logan totally hogged down 2 big plates of, (seriously this kid loves spagetti so much he can spell it better than his daddy!) Kolby suddenly alerted mommy and daddy to Logan discovering and extracting the left-over blank spagetti noodles that had been thrown in the trash and of course stuffing his face with them. If Logan is walking through the house on any random evening and the trash can winks ;) at him, (and it winks a lot!) that's it! he's determined to dig in and make out with it, so for the rest of the the evening that trash can has to sit out of reach on top of the washer or dryer. Same thing with the broom, and any other forbidden house-hold items. Logan thoroughly enjoys music and it has become apparent to us that he has been working on some dance moves. If he is standing when some good music plays there's a good chance you'll see him immediately begin stomping his feet, bending his knees, swinging his arms, and nodding his head all with a huge smile on his face. If he's strapped into the car-seat it's all the same only without the foot-work. Yes Logan is a very active boy and very curious about the world around him, always ready for a good time and always ready to explore.

That's all for now, enjoy the video!
