'Libary' Books

     After spending 2 wonderful, yet very long, weeks in the upstate, this past week back home has been so great! I've enjoyed spending a lot of time as a family! Since we are nearing the end of the semester, Lin has had a lot of school work to complete, so I've been trying to keep the boys busy and quiet. Thankfully, the weather was so nice this week that we were able to spend a lot of time outside. One of Micah's new favorite things is going to the library (or "'libary' books" as Micah calls it), so we try to go once a week. He gets so excited when he sees all of the books. Although I have high hopes of eventually going to the story times throughout the week, we have yet to make it to one of the regularly scheduled ones. This past Friday, however, they had an "udderly" special story time. We were late, of course, but when we finally got there and settled, Micah had a great time. They had Bessie the cow there and learned about North Carolina agriculture. After the story (that we missed) the lady talked about all kinds of different things that are made using milk. The kids then got to color cow masks and milk Bessie.

Milking Bessie...stuff really did come out. It was pretty cool.

He was just a little tired. He managed to eat half of his turkey and cheese sandwich before falling asleep.

     Levi is growing like crazy and learning new things everyday. A mom that I know through a group on facebook is letting us borrow her excersaucer because her kids have currently outgrown it. Ours that Beth gave us is currently in SC at my dad's because we had no room to store it in between kiddos. Levi is not quite big enough to enjoy it yet and only lasts a couple of minutes in it, but in those first few minutes, he sure is a happy boy. :)

     Yesterday in downtown WF, they had "Meet in the Street." The sun was out full force as was the heat, so we didn't stay too long for fear that the boys would get sunburned. Micah managed to get a few goodies from the Police and Fire Departments though.

Stunner shades from the police dept, and a "pireman" hat from the fire dept.

For a couple who was never going to have kids, we sure have been blessed with 2 amazing ones!
