End of Summer

The boys ended the summer on a high note with a camping trip with Daddy to Deep Creek Lake. They went with some friends of ours, Jason and his daughter Maggie. The two Moms thought it best to stay home. :)
Christopher has learned to ride a two wheeler, gotten ready to start Kindergarten, and gotten a little braver when playing in the water.
Stephen has made some great improvements in his potty training (we are so close...), he has learned to ride a two wheeler with training wheels, and as of this weekend... He is Pacey Free!
Hopefully our Fall will be a calm and relaxing one. Baby Girl is due in about 3 months.

Beach Vacation - Ocean and Pool - Surfside, SC

The boys had a lot of fun this year at the beach. They weren't too nervous about getting into the water even though the surf was a little rougher than we were used to. The waves weren't very high, but there was a lot of undertow.

Stephen had a lot of fun in the waves, but wasn't quite ready to let go of your hand. (He's smiling, but look at that little fist clenched tight!)

Both boys had a lot of fun "surfing" on the inflatable raft. Christopher and Daddy actually rode some waves in from the deeper water.

After a few hours at the beach, we would be ready to come back and cool off in the pool at the rental house. Stephen really seemed like he wanted to swim, kicking his legs and getting his arms moving. Christopher waited until the last day to remember that he actually LIKED jumping in the water and going under.

Both Boys ended on a high note jumping off the side to Daddy and Pop-pop.

Beach Vacation - Water Park - Surfside, SC

Here are some shots from the "water cameras" we took with us to the water park. I have a ton of other digital pictures to sort through too so there may be another post later.

Daddy got to ride the Lazy River with Stephen, and the white water express with Christopher.

This year Christopher was tall enough to ride most of the rides, and he showed no fear. He wanted to ride the super fast slides (he rode both of the green tubes in the top picture) and he rode the H2O racers with Daddy and Uncle Alan (bottom picture, Chris is in far left lane.) Christopher really wanted to ride the two tall slides that didn't even fit in the top picture but he wasn't quite tall enough yet for those.

Ultrasound Pictures

Pictures of Baby Girl Nunn

Halfway There

Michael, Christopher, and I had a very exciting Friday morning. Christopher was running a pretty good fever due to a soon to be diagnosed ear infection; so he couldn't go to school. All three of us went for the momentous 20 week ultrasound. The tech did all kinds of measurements and was also able to make a pretty good guess as to what we were going to have.

She was confident enough to put it in writing...

Christopher and Stephen are going to have a Baby Sister!

Unfortunately our scanner is currently not working, so I can't post a picture from the ultrasound. But I will try to later this week.

But we are also half way to the finish line, 20 out of 4o weeks. A little over half considering Baby Girl Nunn will probably be delivered just after 39 weeks via repeat c-section.

Christopher Rides His Bike

Christopher started off the summer with a really big goal...To learn to ride a two-wheeler! With a little over 2 weeks of almost nightly practice with Daddy, Christopher is now able to ride his bicycle by himself from a standing start. Stephen's also been doing a lot of practice with his new big boy bike he got for his birthday. He asked that we take off his training wheels too; but we told him he needed to wait a little longer.

The Graduate!

In June, Christopher graduated from preschool at Childtime Learning. He got to march in with his classmate, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and sing songs.

Then he got his diploma from his teacher Ms. Shannon.

Mommy and Daddy are very proud of their graduate, and are very excited to start the next adventure, Kindergarten, in August.
