Saturday Fun!

We are so blessed to have Daniel and Lauren back in the UK!  Even better, we have a new niece, Aubrey Kay that we get to love on!!  So, we headed up to Oxford Saturday morning to spend the day with them. 

We were going to do a picnic lunch in a park, because the sky was beautiful blue.  As soon as we bought our sandwhiches it started raining and not just raining but HAILING!!  So, we decided to go to Nando's instead a favorite for all of us.

The boys enjoying their ice cream!

My sweet sister, Lauren!  She is an awesome mommy!  Rolling with the adventure of a newborn and living internationally and not just internationally, but moving countries with a newborn!  So proud of you Lauren!!  You are amazing!

And of course, there was lots of holding and loving on Aubrey!! She is too cute!

Uncle Allen, staking his claim at the favorite uncle position!

 

Nate loves his little baby Aubrey!  Which he says with a really sweet twist. 

Ben super excited to hold Aubrey!

Thankful to have the Ostendorff's back in country with us!

We're back!

We are back in the UK after three wonderful weeks of vacation/holiday!  What sparked this trip was the Ostendorff annual beach vacation.  I had not been to it in over 6 years!  So, last August Allen said that we would go this year!  We had a terrific time on the beach with my family and the whole trip combined.  We also got a new camera, so there are over 2000 pictures I am wading through.  This is just the tip of the iceburg! 

 

 

You have to have oreo's at the beach!

My mom, sister, and I.

 

The three Ostendorff kids, We missed you Daniel! 

Headed to the beach!!

 

First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was the boys first day of preschool!  Ben will go 5 mornings a week and Nate will go two.  Nate will actually be going on Thursday and Friday.  Yesterday, when I took Ben I was hoping that they would allow Nate to go today(Tues) because he will miss the next 3 plus weeks.  They are so awesome at Noah's Ark and she apologized because they are completely full on Tuesdays but she said that I could leave him for the session yesterday.  The Lord was so good because I had packed Nate's bag to go to the YMCA and He had prompted me to put in a snack, which I don't normally do!  So, Nate was all set to spend the morning at preschool.  He loved it and was exhausted when I picked them up!!  I think he would have slept all afternoon and evening if I had let him. 

So, here are Ben's before school pics. 
 

And these are Nate's after school pics because I didn't know it would be his first day.  He is not into having his picture taken right now but he was also VERY tired.

My sweet 2 year old!!  Hiding from the camera!

They both loved it and it was amazing to have three hours to myself!
