mom's summer visit 2010

Matthew went on a 10-day discipleship trip with the teens in late July, so my mom came to help with the boys and hang out. It would have been a really long week had I not had her help! Thanks, mom!


Nana and Piper

Wait for it....

There we go! My favorite picture of both of them together to date!

a boy on his tractor...


Running down the driveway with Bo.


Climbing the fence to the cow pen. We spend a lot of time out there in the summer.

Standing next to the cow pen in the alley.


Piper 7 months old. He started crawling the week before Matthew left. He was about 6-1/2 months old...something his orthopedic doctor didn't think would happen until late because of the casting and the brace.


Some of my favorite pictures taken on the front porch.






Going for a walk down the road from the farm. This is an old abandoned farmstead, but the driveway is kind of kept up, so it's a nice private walk in the summer.

Our lazy day outside. We took a blanket outside and put it under a big tree and just relaxed as the boys played. This was the afternoon Finn saw a moth for the first time and didn't quite know what to call it since he knew it wasn't a butterfly. It flew away from him and he said, "Oh, poor that".


Ready for daddy to be home after 10 days! That's a really long time for a 2-1/2 year old to be missing his buddy and they got to play tractors when Matthew got home!

Loved reliving those fun days, Sharon. I had such a good time at your house that week. Looking forward to coming back this summer and helping out some, too! I wonder if we'll have lazy days under the tree again?

I love the "Standing next to the cow pen in the alley" I wanted to add "picking a wedgie..." =) Must be a tough one too with the one-eyed concentration. =)
