Fun Little Outings

September 8, 2011

The heat is still blazing even though we're moving through September but we have been having some outside fun regardless. This summer was way too hot to do much so we've been trying to make up for it a little. Trying to keep Noah inside all of the time is like having a little tornado in your house that is perpetually tearing it apart from the inside. Last week we did the Zoo, so this week we went for a little walk at the OU campus which is something Matt and I used to do all of the time pre-kids. It's fun to take them to do stuff we like but it's not really all that relaxing anymore, especially when you have to stop and nurse a baby in a park in front of a bunch of college kids.

First things though...Jakob's ear is getting much better. The scabs are still hanging on but hopefully they will be gone soon. He is going to have a bit of a scar but they said that would go away as well. He doesn't seem to notice anything though and is as happy as can be! You can see his little scabs in the picture below:

Another fun thing we've been trying to do again is go back to church regularly. We never quit but we took a little break after Jakob was born because it was hard but mostly because I didn't want to get him out too much until he had his first round of vaccines. He went to the baby nursery for the first time this week. Noah is out of that nursery now and into the big kids (2 yr olds) room. He loves it and they both did awesome! I'm so thankful that we are able to go to church and enjoy it without having to worry about our kids. Neither one of them has ever had issues with being left somewhere or being with new people. We are very blessed!

Here's Jakob after church showing off his nursery sticker:

Here are some fun pictures of us at OU just hanging out:

We also made it to the Yukon park a few times this week. Noah loves to go to the park to slide, play in the dirt, and look at the ducks. This day I had just picked him up from Mother's Day Out and I guess they studied ducks and what sounds they made because he was obsessed with quacking at all of the ducks!
