This past month...

...we were blessed with getting to see lots of family and friends!

Our month started with Aunt Carrie, Aunt Sara, & Uncle Adam driving up from Florida to meet Lois and hang out with us!

Uncle Adam & Lo.

 Silas had so much fun with Aunt Sara!

Jack and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary! He surprised me by sending me to get a manicure/pedicure, AND he even had a babysitter lined up! We went to Hiko-mon for dinner, and then to Comfy Cow for dessert. 

Look at that awesome Dragon Roll!



Then, Nana & Papa came to visit! It is quite the task to get Silas to look at the camera these days!

Next, we took a 'mini' road trip to West Virginia to see our good friends, the LaRues! Jack laughs at me when I call a three hour drive a road trip, because he's a Jarrett boy, and Jarrett boys like to drive from Florida to Alaska in three and half days, so we'll compromise with 'mini.'  It was fun getting to see all our kids play together! We got to visit their church, and hear Glenn preach. Their faithfulness to the Gospel is always so encouraging.

From there, we headed back to Louisville and were greeted at the door by Ray, Becca, and Levi!  Levi has grown so much since we've last seen him, and he is so sweet! He is walking like a champ! It was so great to see him and Silas play together. One day they will be the best of buds!

Also, Lois turned 3 months old! She kicked it off by learning how to roll over! She's laughing now, and it might just be the cutest sound ever! Silas calls her "LoLo."  She is always watching him as he runs around the house. She's been sleeping longer stretches at night, which has been really nice.

Silas turned 21 months, and he loves to make us laugh! He is also starting to talk more. He knows his capital letters, and he loves pointing out letters whenever he sees them! His favorite letters are M and O. We have had a lot of fun together lately. 

Silas has been eyeing the diving board all summer. He loves to be able to do what the big kids do, and so the last time we went to the pool, Jack took him on it. Without even hesitating he ran and jumped off, and he loved it! 

And that was our month. Boom. Done.
