It's been a while since my last post (or at least it seems that way). We have been very busy and things are just now starting to settle back down.
First Susan flew in to visit us. That same night Mike got home later in the evening. The next few days were very hectic and busy. We took Susan to the touristy St. Louis places and had a lot of fun. We finally made it on a brewery tour at Budweiser and thought it was really neat. We also went to the Arch and Grant's Farm. We realized that we really do need a bigger vehicle, but are going to tough it out for a while with the one we have. We had to take two cars over to St. Louis, which with gas prices wasn't really our favorite thing to do. But we had fun, and it was all worth it. Having Susan here made me miss home even more. I have truly missed my friends and forgot how great it was to just sit and talk. Susan left on a Monday and I relaxed at home with the kiddos for a few days before we started our 4th of July weekend running.
It was very nice having the 4th on a Friday this year. Mike had Friday off and we went to Charlie and Betty's for their yearly party. The weather was perfect and we were able to keep Morgan outside all day without him getting overheated. Mason and Mike went swimming. We were planning on putting Morgan in but with the nicer weather (meaning not blistering hot like it usually in on the 4th) and recent rain, the pool was a bit too cold for him. So Mason and Daddy had a blast playing in the water. After Charlie and Betty's we went to Jason's parents house and finished off our night there. They had invited someone who purchased a ton of great fireworks. After the fireworks were over we went home and crashed. The next day was our nephew Logan's first birthday party. We ended up getting there a bit late because Morgan was napping and with all our running the previous day we thought it best to let him sleep. We ended up staying at the party (which was at Jamie's parents house) until dark and Steven set off some of his fireworks that he saved for Logan. Unfortunately Logan didn't make it for the fireworks, the poor little guy was too tired and fell asleep before they got started.
Then on Sunday we went to Logan's Roadhouse for Logan's birthday lunch since that was his actual birthday. We then ran all over doing some shopping and ended the night back with Steven and Jamie and their house. Both of the boys handled the running very well and we managed to have a great time with everything we did. Our weekend was very busy, so we enjoyed a very nice simple day here at home today.
Hopefully we won't be quite as busy in the near future and I can keep up on this more frequently. Hope you have enjoyed a day to day rundown of our lives over the last week!
