July was our vacation month. So that made July seem like a short month. We went to Niagara falls-and YES we drove!!!The falls are breathing taking. And words can not truly describe the feeling of stand there looking at them. God is a magnificent creator!
We even managed to dip our toes in two of the Great Lakes on this trip. We have rocks from each.
On our way home, we stopped off in Pittsburgh. Greg and Jacob attended a pirates game there.
Our trip had to be cut a little short. Gabe was sick and ran a fever on some of the trip. We came home to a diagnois of pneumonia. A 2 year old on steroids = a week of NO sleep for him or mommy!! A week later, Jacob was diagnosed with pneumonia also. He did not require steroids...thank god!!!
Back to school meant back to a normal routine. Jacob is now in 5th grade! Seems like only yesterday he started kindergarten. He seems to have grown up alot this summer :)
Gabe has aquired a TON of new skills this summer--opening the refrigator door, the front door, and the sliding glass door. If there is a door he WILL open it!!! I feel that the oven door is next. Locks have been purchased for all!!!Gabe has completely quite the bottle habit this summer. Potty training seems to be a BIGGER challenge. By Christmas is my NEW goal!! Gabe has also found a new love...Toy Story. Don't get me wrong, I love to watch toy story. BUT 4 times before 10am is a little much!!
I have decided that once a week I will try a recipe from my "Recipes to try" pinterest board. I have already made the Pizza Casserole. It was a favorite for all...and MAYBE better the 2nd day?!?!?!

We did add a few things...like mushrooms and Canadian bacon.
Can't wait for cooler weather! Tasha
