August

Our little man turned 2 on the 13th. Can't believe that it has been that long since we brought him home. It's amazing what a little person with such a big personality he has become.  He is the sweetest, most energetic and loudest boy I've ever known.

We celebrated just the 3 of us and transportation was the theme of the day.  Almost every gift he received had to do with trains, trucks or trikes; which makes for a very happy Myles.

Taking a break from playing with trains to read about them.

Myles loves his new tricycle! He could use some practice...and slightly longer legs.

It was fair month here and we checked out the Williamson and Wilson County fairs.  Mom and Dad Terpstra joined us for the Wilson County fair.  Unfortunately, we missed the exhibit where monkeys ride around on dog's backs.  Maybe next year.

With summer coming to an end, Myles is all set for some football!

Go State!

July

Aside from our trip to the U.P. July was pretty low key for us.  Doing our best to have fun but stay cool, we went to Opry Mills with our friends Meagan and Jackson to see what we could find.

Aquarium Restaurant/Carousel

Myles favorite indoor activity- Ah-Boom.  Which is just diving on our bed and saying ah-boom while falling but he thinks it's the greatest thing ever.  Can't beat free entertainement :)

Mid-month Myles and I headed north.  We were blessed to spend a week in the U.P. and also celebrate my Grandma Seere and Grandpa Tom's 70th wedding anniversary.  No, that's not a typo- 70 years- wow!  We had a great time with family and I was able to get together with a couple friends I hadn't seen in a while.

And we're off
