Photo Dump

I’ve got one more month left on maternity leave. Per se. II’m pretty anxious to get back though, so I’m the go-to gal to call if things get busy. Anyway, we’ve been making great use of all this time we’re getting together.

We work outside. And we play our fair share out there too. Auri loves the sling.

On the day we pruned, Casen was elated to be finding so many ‘elk antlers!’ He cracked us up – we’d hear him mumbling “Oh little one.” Or “Wow BIG one!”

One night when Kyle was gone we had a picnic in the front room for dinner. It was a huge hit with Casen!

Casen discovered our ear protection for shooting. He had this pair on for a whole week. And that is no exaggeration! He even slept with them, heaven knows how. Casen calls them ‘ear muffins.’ I should also add that for 3 days straight he was adamant that he wear this hoodie.

Case had his first Happy Visit to the dentist. He was pretty stoked to go. I had an appointment at the same time. Cheryl, our dental hygienist had Casen sit on her lap and help her polish my teeth. That completely made his day. That and the toys in the treasure chest and the dental care goodies he got sent home with. We love our dentist and his staff here!

Don’t mind the EVIDENCE tape. Casen went with Kyle to his Sergeant's home one day and came back with the tape everywhere. Case calls it his ‘Sanford jacket.’ (Sanford is the Sgt.) I accidently washed it without taking the tape off first. It was a mystery where it ended up until a week late when Kyle found it at the bottom of Casen’s footie jammies.

Grayson came over to plow the garden spot. He said it was the hardest ground he’d ever plowed! Kyle and Casen went over it with the tiller right after and it’s all ready to plant now!

We got to have Lily and Marah stay with us for a night and we had a blast! Marah couldn’t get enough of Ree and Lily entertained Casen all night. With great helpers like these two I might could handle having 4 kiddos! They made it so easy on me.

Sometimes her Celtic knot headband slips down her forehead and makes her look like ninja baby

Casen has done awesome his first week of potty training!
