End of Summer

The last month or so of the summer was so fun!

We went to Red Robbin with Kim and Darrell and had the yummiest burgers!  Jake DEVOURED a ton of all of our plates, including the fries.



We had a lot of fun at parks around Columbus.



Jake went to his first birthday party at a fire department.  I think Andrew I found the fire truck tour as interesting as he did!


Jake is getting more interested in all his toys, playing with them by himself for quite awhile.  He especially loves anything that lights up and makes lots of noise.


We played on the porch- Jake's favorite.




We visited the library a lot.




Jake is getting much better at block stacking- and destroying.  He can even say "blocks" now.



He can officially color without eating the crayons!  I thought that day would never come!


We fed the missionaries A LOT.  About weekly.  We got to know Elder Strong and Elder Mallory pretty well.


Our little grouch loves the trash can we got for baby girl's room.


And Jake's favorite thing the past week or two has been blowing dandelion seeds.  We've been going on lots of walks and he grins and does the goofiest excited laugh when we pick them for him.


We also got to go to Dayton to see Kim finish her marathon.  Actually, she ran faster than we had anticipated, so we waited .2 miles from the finish line for about 50 minutes before realizing she had already finished. The poor girl was just sitting and waiting for us to find her :(  But we were SO proud of her!



Jake was NOT excited for Andrew to start back to school, but his schedule this semester is awesome, especially for welcoming a baby home soon (hopefully tomorrowish :) )  He isn't taking any courses, so he spends his time mostly researching for his dissertation and teaching.  We get to see a lot more of him, which Jake and I both love.  Life is going great, and I can't wait for our family of 3 to meet the 4th member!
