The Long Road Home: Visitors and More Visitors: Summer Fun

Wow, what an amazing last month it has been! We have been looving being loved on by so much family, and hosting them at our house for the last month! What a blessing it has been.

We had my sister and her daughter, Kala and Harper, here with us for three weeks, and then the day Kala and Harper flew back home, my Mom and two of my nieces arrived that same day. So cool!

The boys have absolutely looooved having so many people here and have been enjoying some cool adventures and outings. There have been a lot of fun first for Mr. Preston this past with with my Mom.

Here are some highlights:

Brooks went to the GI doc and he is now on Prilosec to see if he gets some relief. I'm still not sold that he struggles with reflux or acid issues, but we're just trying to rule as many things out as we can with hope this boy will sleeeeeep. So far, though, I can't say I've seen a huge difference.

Preston is doing beautifully with potty training! It was a really really rough first week, but once he got the jist, he really got it and has done really well. He still will go potty while asleep though. Working on getting him to call out for us when he's in his crib so we can take him potty. He looks sooooo cute in his little undies too!!

Brooks is now six months old and oh so close to crawling, and is sitting up perfectly. He is almost 20 pounds and 28" long, he is still a big boy comparatively.

Preston is growing and changing by the second, man! He signs and speaks so well, it's amazing. He is changing sooooo fast.

He is sooooo excited about going to school! He asks for his lunch box, back pack, and new shoes everyday. :)

My Mom and I took all the kiddos to the Georgia Aquarium last week----we showd up on daycare day---yah! LOL sooooooo packed with kids, kids, and more kids! P had no accidents and used the public potty like a champ.

Preston also went to his first movie with my mom and nieces! They did not see a cartoon, and, amazingly, Preston did exceptional and sat and watched the movie while stuffing his face with popcorn the entire time!

Kevin and I enjoyed a wonderful date night last weekend where we painted pottery together and sat and watched a local lawn concert.

And in other BIG NEWS, Kevin surprised me this week by taking my to see my absolute favorite artist in concert, John Legend. I awoke to a dress hanging in the kitchen with a note from Kevin telling me to be ready by 4 pm, and the baby sitter would be over then too. Everything was a total surprise! It was uuuuuhhhmazing!! Def a night I will never forget. The weather, the concert, John Legend, the friends we made at the concert, Kevin's thoughtfulness, all of it, was just perfect.
