"tri" bike

Our friend Marie let us borrow her tag along that hooks to the back of a bike. Mike went another step and turned it into a three man bike. Mike's such an awesome dad!

Poor Woody

Andrew got woody for his birthday. Woody sleeps, bathes, shops, attends appointments, and eats with Andrew. I believe this is an actual scene in one of the Toy Story movies. Poor Woody.

August: Cranneys Come Home From Guatemala

I woke up one morning to find these three glued to "RIO" on the computer. They had no idea I existed.

getting pretty tired and having a pity party.

Porter doesn't like to see Andrew upset.

After a year and a half in Guatemala, Steve and Laurel came home!! They flew into St. Louis and the boys and I went to pick them up. Our car was overheating all day so it was a fun experience. I should mention this was AUGUST in MISSOURI--hot and muggy. But because we were so excited about Grandma and Grandpa coming home--NOTHING could ruin our day!

We had a great time playing games, shopping, relaxing and of course fishing. We found a great place to fish where you can catch fish after fish. The funnest part about our fishing trip was that on our last cast Porter caught a fish, reeled it in and a snake jumped up out of the water and took a bite of the fish. He refused to let go so we had quiet the time trying to get the snake off so we could get our pole back. I have uploaded a video for your viewing pleasure. (that's andrew crying in the background--ready for a nice long nap)

Steve and Laurel made their way west on the train. Which got delayed several hours. We took them to the Ottumwa, Iowa train station were they started there extremely long journey home.

They are already comin' back for a visit next week--we are SO excited we get to see them again.

August: Andrew turns two

ALL (2) of Andrew's Birthday's have been pretty low key. Good thing he is young and doesn't care. Last year we had just moved in a week prior to. And this year we had just gotten back from summer fun activities, which apparently takes me a while to readjust to.

Grandma and Grandpa Cranney were here so we had a few cupcakes and presents on the weekend.
