Time Went By Too Fast!!!

It is now August and the last time I blogged anything was early May.  I guess with all the crazy things we have had happening lately, blogging has been the last thing on my mind.  Between moving (AGAIN) and getting ready for Myles' arrival, I have been a little preoccupied.  Summer time has been a blur for us and I wish it had not gone by so fast.  In June, we did our very best to stay cool!  It was quite a hot summer for us.  Jackson did get to enjoy some days in his little pool and even at Ms. Leigh Ann and Mr. Christopher's pool as well as Ms. Alison's pool.  That sweet boy loves the water.  If there was any kind of breeze we tried to take time out for the park (which wasn't often because it has been so hot).  We had a diaper/wipes shower for Myles in June and got to visit with friends and family from around town.  Myles was showered with lots of diapers in addition to some gifts.  In attendance at the shower:  Ms. Debbie, Ms. Ina, Mee Maw, Aunt Katie, Mee Mee, Nana, Kathy, Ms. Vicki, Shirley Ann, Ms. Elaine, and Ashley.  Also during the month of June, we took a weekend trip for Drew's wedding.  Jackson got to stay in a hotel for the first time and we told him he was getting to stay in the "night-night room".  He was so funny about calling it that.

For the 4th of July, we spent the afternoon at Ms. Leigh Ann and Mr. Christopher's house.  We got to enjoy some great food and fellowship.  Jackson was mostly intrigued by Hattie and Lola.  Jackson even discovered how a doggy door works.  I just know that Hattie appreciated Jackson invading her toy basket and chasing her around the house as well as in and out of the doggy door.  Jackson was especially entertained by Lola's love for swimming in the pool and retrieving toys.  Around the first week of July we got to see a 4D picture of Myles which was too cool!  Especially since we didn't get to see that kind of picture with Jackson.  Also during July, we spent time finishing settling in our new place of residence and again, trying to stay cool!  It was quite a hot month.  Two weeks before Myles' arrival we took Jackson and spent the night camping with Nana and Pa at the beach.  Jackson got to spend another night with them after we left.  The heat was just a bit much for a pregnant mom.  However, Jackson had a blast!!!  One week before Myles' birth, mom got a job offer that provided better benefits, more money, and being able to continue with retirement and sick leave.  She was sad to leave her friends and the job she had always wanted but it was the right thing to do.
