Ugh, it's August

That means that in just 3 short weeks, I will be back at work.  I love work, I really do.  It's just hard knowing that I won't get to see the kids all day everyday soon.  It has been a great summer. 

Now for a little catching up...

Last weekend, we went to Granna and Pops house.  Of course we had a great time like we always do! 

My girls got some leg strength

What is that?

Granna gave Brady a Horse Ride...

Then Brady gave Addy a Horse Ride (with Mommy help of course...)

After we got home from Granna and Pops house, it was time for Staycation 2015.  We decided that it would be ridiculously hard to throw a vacation together at the last minute with a 3 year old and a 4 month old so we decided to stay home.  It was great.  Mommy took off work and stayed at home with us all week!  We did all kinds of stuff.  We went to the beach and the pool a few times but just relaxing as a family was what I enjoyed the most.  We went out to dinner a few times too!

Brady's picture that he took of me that he titled, "Daddy drinking Beer."

We are so lucky and it was great to just be together for a week.  Mommy went back to work today and we sure do wish it was Staycation 2015, week 2... 

Addy is moving!

Here comes (goes) trouble...

Brady is learning to cast...

My man!

The smiles keep coming!

I can say for 100% sure that nothing in the world feels better then looking in your childs face and seeing them smile and laugh.  There have been plenty smiles and laughs here this summer.  That means that I am a happy man!  Brady is doing great with his letters and words and Adelynn is going to be driving soon at the rate she is going...

Brady loves her so much!

Addy taking her practice swings at Nana's house

Making Addy laugh

I don't even know what to say...

I told you.  We are so lucky!!!

Half way point...

It's hard to believe that summer is half way over for me...  I'm having so much fun with the kids that I'm thinking of doing this full time.  Well, no I'm not but I have been having a great time.  Brady is getting so smart and I guess me being a teacher is paying off because he is learning to write his letters and even know some sight words (teacher lingo).  He looks like a teenager though! 

He got a little crazy in Howard County though and I had to lay down the law...

Addy is constantly laughing and she just loves her play-mat.  It's scary how much she looks like Brady!!!  I guess they should though right?  They are related...

 
I am so lucky to be able to spend so much time with them in the summer.  Just another perk of my job.  As much fun as I have with them during the week, our favorite time is when we are all together!

You can only see her a little bit, but Adelynn is in there too!

Here's to making the most out of the 2nd half of summer and more times like this...

Daddy Daycare Update

We're going strong over here at Daddy Daycare.  Kids are thriving and I'm still moving around so it's all good.  We had the opportunity to go to The Owen's house for the 3rd of July and then to Carly's parents for the weekend.  As usual, I took a ton of pictures and as usual, I'm going to post them on here for everyone to see how wonderful our children are!  I know, I'm bias but who cares.  This is my blog...

Our walk ended up by the lake.
