This Week

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of traveling, which is very unlike us, but it's all gone well so far and I'm glad we took the opportunities to go. There's only 5 more weeks until school starts, and with all day every day kindergarten we won't have as much freedom as we're used to as far as weekend trips and such. 

We tried to make our days at home in between trips as relaxed as possible. We just played and kept house and broke up arguments and changed diapers. You know, the normal stuff. 

I had Elias' baby book printed and now all three boys' books are on display in the living room. Lewis has looked through them more than once. I think he finally understands who is who. The past two weeks Lewis has calmed down a lot. He actually plays and has conversations with me and eats most of his food at meals...as opposed to screaming, running, jumping, and throwing fits.

My glasses were on their last leg, so I got new ones this week. I took Beth with me and made her tell me what to get. I really had to twist her arm to come along {inset sarcasm}. She should seriously consider a career in frames consulting. 

Elias has been a sleepy baby lately. He is taking those naps where he wakes up and looks different and feels heavier. Growing is hard work. 

Logan's mom gave him this photo at Grandma's funeral. I love it. It's Grandma with her dad, Louis. 

The boys napping at the park. We went pretty early to beat the heat, but by 1030am I was done. Too hot. 

We were part of The Good Life welcome committee this week. The boys LOVE going to the airport. 

We welcomed our family friends, Jim & Kate, who are retiring here. We are so very excited to have them here! They are some of my parents very best friends, and I've had the privilege of growing up with them around, as well as basically living with them on the weekends when I lived on the East coast. They were also my connection to Switzerland. #basheslivethegoodlife
