Busy times...

A long overdue update but with nothing much to say...

We have been 100% devoted to things to do with our upcoming move. My thoughts are consumed with renting our house here in SC and finding a place to live in MS. Jared painted our downstairs last weekend, and our house is a work in progress for showing to potential renters. We've only shown it once, but we have a few more people that want to see it.

The boys are truly brothers now - and with all that comes with it. They play together like best friends with LOTS of fighting, bickering, hitting, screaming, crying and biting (Austin!) thrown in. My days are spent policing their latest argument over who had which toy first. I am convinced that if we had two identical models of every toy we owned, they would still find a way to fight. There are those moments, though, that they sit and play together so well that I have to stop and snap a picture or just try to soak it in. Aidan has gotten in to the habit of helping Austin take off his shoes when we come inside because Austin still hasn't figured it out yet. When we get home, they both sit down, and Austin automatically holds his feet up for Aidan to do his shoes too. It's pretty cute! Yesterday, Aidan informed Austin, "This is the last time I'm doing this." Today, Austin said, "Shoes, shoes" to Aidan, and Aidan help strong. He said, "No. I'm not doing that for you anymore." Mom got to take them off instead. :-)

We have visitors this weekend! Grandma and Aunt Nikki are coming for a visit, so the boys will be thrilled with the attention. Madagascar 2 is also on the agenda for the weekend. Jared and I thought about taking Austin to his first movie, but we've decided he just doesn't quite have the attention span yet. Instead, Jared and Aidan are going to get some great father and son time with lunch and a movie while I stay home with a napping child. :-)

Halloween pics coming soon...
