Ruby Slippers and Mud Puddles

Grandma Lyn went with us to buy new shoes for Libby. She’s grown out of all of the shoes I bought for her the week before Will was born. I still feel like it’s the beginning of summer but it’s almost fall and time for a new shoe wardrobe!
We stopped at the playground while we were shopping and Libby played and played. The fact that she was wearing red sparkly shoes did not stop her from climbing all over, sliding and traipsing through the wood chips! Oh, to be so carefree!
Speaking of carefree, she also loves to play in puddle… especially if they are muddy it seems. She enjoyed herself immensely after a thunderstorm and thank goodness for Oxy Clean so she can wear this outfit again!
My parents cruised the Hawaiian Islands celebrating my uncles’ 60th birthday. We were so jealous but after the last three and half months, they deserve some rest and recuperation. We just asked for them to bring back some sand from our beach in Kailua and take a picture of our old house. We still miss it! They came by on Wednesday night before they left and so did Uncle James. Libby took a ride in her Moses basket and loved it. That’s the most time she’s ever spent in because she hated it as a baby! They came home with lots of goodies for the kids and leis, macadamia nuts and Kona coffee for us!
Andrew’s schedule has finally let up a little bit. He went from August 3 until September 14th with only two days off—that’s including weekends! We really missed him and he’s been so glad to spend time at home this last week eating dinner with us and putting Libby to bed.

We've been able to go to Grandpa and Grandma Thomas's house for some walks around their lake and play time in the rocks! We saw some "tows" in downtown Hudson and have gone to the park. It's been so nice to do family things. Will's been showing off his tummy time skills and we are very impressed!
