August, Part I

Why hello there, August! Continuing our “Catch Up” series, here’s how August played out!

August 1st, I can’t remember (at this moment) precisely when 224 Arbor started to feel like home. It still doesn’t completely feel that way, it is a feeling that has to grow on you. At this point I was worried we had made the wrong decision… but it was interesting to see us all making use of the sunroom. See this image larger.

August 2nd, Ian hangs out on the porch with Greg and Mommy and I… Greg came over from Owosso to help unload those 8 Pods… a couple days later they were emptied at last. Was very happy to get them out of the driveway. See this image larger.

August 3rd, all too soon the sunroom became the playroom — we got it back under control eventually… well… I guess. At least half of it turned into a play-pen, but man did we ratchet down Ian’s toy use. I mean he’s maybe down to half of the 50% that’s left. See this image larger.

Camera flash surprise Nina! See this image larger.

I don’t really have time to photoshop the stuff in her nose out of there, but let’s pretend I left it there to remind us that at this point Melissa and I were thinking heavily about a surgical procedure on the horizon. See this image larger.

My little sweet pea! See this image larger.

August 4th, Ian and I driving around… those are “safety belts” and a “steering wheel.” See this image larger.

Grandma Sue stayed awhile after the move and took some shots of the new house. This is the front, obviously. See this image larger.
