More Summer things

First we are going to have a guessing game.  We want you to identify whose eyes these are (they are either Amanda’s, Glenn’s or Paul’s)

Now Here are some pictures that were taken during the summer.  First off, we bought a little kiddy pool so we could take Glenn out and let him have some water time.  He learned to splash very well by the end of the summer.

Glenn had become much more mobile during this summer.  At the beginning he was just beginning to roll, but by the first of September he was getting up on all fours and beginning to scoot and role around a lot.  Because of this new mobility, he found himself in tight corners he has not been before.

We also had fun one day and took Glenn to the Park and let him try the “big” kid things.

Glenn on his first swing!

Glenn found these little drum sets just to his liking

Amanda took Glenn one day to listen to the Ohio State Marching Band.

This past weekend We had some of Amanda’s family here to visit for the weekend.  We enjoyed seeing everyone again before we all part ways from the east.  We got pictures of each family and of all of the grandkids together.

This is what happens when you have all kids 4 years and younger!

Here are some pics of the families and with the grown-ups.

We tried to get pictures of everyone, but I didn’t figure out how to auto shoot my camera in time, so this is what we got.

We also have a little birthday shin-dig for family while here.

And a couple more pictures of Glenn, just for good measure.

Updates at beginning of summer

 

To begin with we enjoyed some visits of family over Memorial Day Weekend.  Amanda’s sister and family came and visited.  They also have a young baby boy almost the same age as Glenn, it was fun seeing them together.  Amanda got a taste of being a mother of multiple kids when she watched their kids while they got their eye exams at the College of Optometry.

 

Glenn has been growing and doing little new things every so often.  He has begun to roll over and over and now is able to get around a little bit.  He has started to pick up cheerios and feed them to himself, although only about 10% make it into his mouth.  Here are some pics of him recently.

We also have taken a couple of trips in the last month with my week break between classes in early June.  We visited the Dayton Air Force Museum.  Really cool, but HUGE!  We thought we would be there for only about 2-3 hours, and when we were about 1/2 way through it we looked at our phones and it we had already been there 3+ hours.  Glenn had been getting a little restless…no wonder!  Then we visited one of the American Indian burial mounds (not the one the Joseph Smith visited).  It was interesting seeing all of mounds and the museum about the artifacts they found, and the rituals they performed previous to making them.  It’s pretty similar to the Egyptians, they would do burial ceremonies and then build these mounds over the graves of the deceased.
