Whew!  I’m back.  August was just plain crazy.  First there was my trip to Oklahoma, then our family vacation to Hawaii, and now Tim and I just returned from a weekend in Minneapolis.  One of our friends got married there and Tim was a groomsman in the wedding.  Meanwhile Grandma and Grandpa Weaver got to take care of Lex while we were gone, and the whole thing went really smoothly.

I promise to try to be more consistent with my blogging, but with my mom still in the hospital, my heart just isn’t into it (since she’s not seeing any of this).  But rest assured, I shall carry on for the rest of you faithful readers out there.  And on a positive note, my mom did finally get taken off the ventilator.  She has a long way to go in her recovery and is currently trying to relearn how to swallow properly, but we’re grateful for this step in the right direction.

Too much has gone on for me to be very detailed with pictures, so I’ll just pick a few from different occasions.  I actually went to three birthday parties in one weekend recently.  Lex’s friend Colby had a construction-themed 2nd birthday party.  As you can imagine, Lex was in heaven.

The cake was very cool, and Lex stared at it the entire time until it was cut and shared.

Lex’s friend Clara had her 2nd birthday party at a place with a climbing structure and a ball pit for the kids.

This next random picture is one I took at Costco, when the boys developed “brain freeze” after gulping down a smoothie:

And here’s two pictures of Tim that I took with an underwater camera when we were snorkeling in Hawaii:

And finally a picture of my young budding astronomer: (his dad is so proud)

There are more pictures to come, including the ones from the recent wedding in Minnesota. Stay tuned, because you don’t want to miss seeing Tim and me all dressed up.  We actually clean up nice!
