Hooray for Aubrey!

After several months of working hard, Aubrey had her last physical therapy session today!!! Last night she stood alone for several seconds and she did it again for her therapist today! It shouldn't be too long before I'll be posting a video of her walking! Thank you, Ms. Lisa!!! We have enjoyed her visits so much that we now have playdates with Ms. Lisa and her two boys, Ethan- 4 and Gabriel- 2! Way to go Aubrey!!!

Our church had a great back to school picnic at Harbison State Park. They divided the children up in groups by age and each age group did relay races. Rick & I took turns competing with Andrew & Davis (Aubrey didn't have a group this year! :)). It was hot but tons of fun! Thanks to Sean Brown & Carra Holton for some of the pictures.

Mr. Tim, Nikki's dad, took some great pictures of our children at Nikki's going away party!

Good luck, Ms. Nikki!

Everyone enjoyed the cake!
We decided we are more like "young aunt" and niece! :)

The lucky school!

The boys adore her!

Aubrey loves her!

Our fabulous baby-sitter and good friend, Ms. Nikki, leaves on Thursday for her first year of college. We will miss her so much! Tonight, her parents had a going away party for her. Good luck, Ms. Nikki, we love you and look forward to seeing you whenever you come home!

Aubrey crawling up the steps!

Aubrey continues to amaze us at how quickly she has caught up! The other day I caught her climbing up the stairs all by herself! She is now cruising around any piece of furniture, wall, cabinet, etc. that she can find!

Sand Table!

This might be the most favorite item of the summer (second only to the inflatable water toys Nana & Pa bought)! It's a sand and water table but we don't use it for water. It was first filled with dirt and old potting soil but Mommy got tired of the filthy mess the boys were when they were all done playing so we bought play sand tonight at Lowe's and it was a HUGE hit, even for Aubrey who normally doesn't like to get dirty!
