Then we got visitors and packed our house to the max when our cousins came to town! Nana, my sister-in-law Jen, and I took all of the boys to the splashpad, Wegerzn Gardens, and the Air Force Museum. They had so much fun playing together and Micah was very sad to see them go. He keeps asking for Jack, Seth, and Aunt Jen.
What a fun-filled couple of weeks! The boys and I spent the week of July 17th going on hikes, joining other little boys for play dates, and spending a lot of time in our backyard. Matt was able to join us for a hike in the nearby state park one day, and we joined our local Hike It Baby group for a morning hike and creek wading another morning. Micah and I have spent afternoons harvesting tomatoes and peppers from our garden. And of course we spend a lot of time playing in our backyard. Micah has decided he likes the "big boy swing" while Ezra has decided he likes to be bounced a little on the trampoline. Ezra is also starting to sit up pretty steadily when he has a back rest and for short periods on his own when he's feeling super strong. We also spend our days singing a lot. Micah's current favorites to sing to the household in general are the ABC's, Home on the Range, and Twinkle Little Star. Ezra's current favorite activity is to roll onto his back as soon as I put him down on his belly... so much for belly time! Then we got visitors and packed our house to the max when our cousins came to town! Nana, my sister-in-law Jen, and I took all of the boys to the splashpad, Wegerzn Gardens, and the Air Force Museum. They had so much fun playing together and Micah was very sad to see them go. He keeps asking for Jack, Seth, and Aunt Jen. Aunt Jen, Jack, and Seth had to go meet other family for the weekend a couple of hours away, but Grandad and Aelfa came to join Nana for the weekend with us. We went hiking, grilled in the backyard, and Micah got drill lessons from Grandad so that he can assemble his own toy airplane now! (and take it apart, and put it back together... repeat) It was great to have the visitors for the week because Matt has been gone in Montana at a conference, so it was a welcome distraction and some much appreciated extra help since Micah seems to be taking Dada being gone pretty hard. Fortunately he's due to return tomorrow!

What wonderful pictures of the boys such little hikers. They both seem to love the out of doors. I see Micah has a little " boo boo" under his nose. Part of out door play. Ezra is getting to look so strong and cute! Love and kisses, G' Grammy R. and G' Paw paw R
