Camping Time

This past weekend was camping on the river with Grandpa & Grannie. Here are a few pics from the fun...

Growing Like A Weed

Hampton has hit a major growth spurt...outgrowing everything from his shoes to his pajamas. Play clothes, church clothes, school clothes...he needs them all! Luckily, we've been able to whip up a few new shirts for school, Grandi has helped us out with some transition stuff for church, and we're hoping to stock up on some play clothes at the consignment sale this week. We are definitely glad that its almost fall & we can make sure everything will be plenty big for our growing boy. We're also thrilled that we have Grandi & a monogramming machine to cute us up for relatively cheap....we'd have to take out a loan otherwise! Ha!

First Day of School

Today was the big day...Hampton's first day back at school. He was excited to go back, but he also told his daddy that he was "a little nervous", which broke his mommy's heart a little bit. The morning was crazy hectic trying to get out of the house, and not without tears, but by the time we made it to school, everyone was happy & smiling. He proudly showed everyone his water bottle with his name on it whether they wanted to see it or not, and headed straight in to check out all the toys in Mrs. Lisa's room. We're thrilled to have Mrs. Lisa this year...she's the most sought-after teacher at the school, and that's really saying something, since all of them we know are awesome!

 

Hampton answered all the questions on his 1st Day quiz below, and he even threw in the fact that his favorite baby was Harrison. We came across this school prayer, and we felt it was very fitting for our little monkey this year and every year. Here's to a wonderful, fun-filled school year for Hampton, Mrs. Lisa, his classmates, and us, too!

 

MDO Open House

This morning was Open House day at Hampton's Mother's Day Out program. We went to meet his teacher, who we already know & love from church, and get all our paperwork & instructions needed for school next week. We filled out our forms, signed up for snack duty, and volunteered to host the Halloween party again this year. Hampton got to see some of his friends & check out the toys in his new classroom. It's hard to believe that school starts back on Monday, but Hampton is ready & we're all looking forward to another super-fun year!

Granddaddy's Birthday

Yesterday was Granddaddy's birthday, so we celebrated with dinner & dessert together last night. Grandi brought travel racetracks to entertain the boys, and they were quite the hit. As was the fundido dip for Hampton..we couldn't keep him out of it! It was a great time celebrating & just spending time together!

Train Tracks

Granddaddy out his woodworking skills to use & built the boys a huge set of tracks that takes up most of their living room. The boys love it, especially since they can both stake out their own little corner of track. Every time we visit, the first thing that happens is track assembly! 

Weekend Washout

This weekend was full of one thing...rain! The system in the gulf stalled out and although it thankfully didn't strengthen into a named storm, we still had all the rain of a tropical system. The SEC Beachfest was rained out, our yard had water halfway up to the house, and we generally just got soaked!

It wasn't a total washout, though. Tanner got to have lunch with her preggie pal Lisa, we got the boys' room painted, and we did get to see the Marc Broussard concert before the rain set in. We have been big fans of his since our TN days, so that was definitely a treat!
