August 2021 Roundup

August always passes in a flash since we are normally traveling for the 1st half of the month and then thrown into the start of school and settling into a new routine for the 2nd half. We are normally happy when the month ends because it means we are one step closer to cooler weather coming along. Here are some random moments from August:

Charlie had a twin bed in his room for a year but was still using the crib. First night home, however, he decided he was ready to transition so now our big boy is in a big bed!


This kid was born with sunshine in his soul and we love him for it


Griffin is always into something, but if his worst crime for the day is disrupting the pile of napkins, then I'll count it as a win


I wonder who is responsible for spilling the salt....


We had a fun (and very hot) night at Wonderland with our good friends



These girls are BFFs <3



Major tears came when Davey was told he was too short to ride the wild mouse rollercoaster


His sadness persisted long after the initial heartbreak because this kid can really hold a grudge


But we found a smaller coaster he was tall enough to ride and that ended up saving our evening


August means peaches!!! This box smelled amazing and tasted even better


As a late 15th anniversary date we joined friends to see Jim Gaffigan at the Civic Center. We don't get away from the kids very often so it was fun to have an adult night full of laughs 



The boys always love operating the diggers at the Discovery Center


Look at Griff up on his tippy toes to try and see what he's doing


First week of school in the books called for a snow cone treat!


Davey was very proud of this fort he built


 May not look like much, but Charlie having his feet off the ground is very brave


A drawing by Dave from a game of Telestrations with friends over the summer that had to be documented for posterity. His clue was Lady Gaga, and it actually wasn't a half bad drawing when compared to the source, but unfortunately the lips read more Steve Tyler and there was a hot debate at the table over which resemblance was closer. It really could go either way ðŸ˜‚
