Where does the time go...?

My goodness - a month has past me right by. How on earth did that happen? Here is a briefing of some of the events we attended.

August 2nd - Baby show for Erika and Bob.

Marshall, Jackson and Olivia watching gifts being opened - or at least staying the general vicinity. The next two are photos that Jackson took. Here is a picture of the happy parents-to-be opening gifts - note the cameraman's finger on the left of the photo.

...and an up close and personal look at Olivia...

My parents came the week of August 10th -16th to help baby sit Marshall before he started child care. Rosalie had the week off and my parent's got to spend a week with the boys. Here is Jackson helping Baba cook dinner - pierogies!!

And here are Baba, Grandma Gigi and Jackson after finishing a Ben 10 puzzle. It seemed like a nightly ritual while my parents were here.

August 16th was a busy day. We had Avery's 4th birthday party at Pump it Up in the morning...

After the kiddos party, the girls took a trip to a winery to celebrate Amy E's birthday. We went to dinner later, but for some reason - I don't have any pictures of that...
August 23rd was an interesting day. First we went to go see about Jackson's skills assessment for Tee-Ball which was slightly postponed due to a soggy field. We went to Denny's to kill some time and while we were there, I took these photos of Marshall. I love the story these pictures tell.

Here is Marshall with the lid to his bowl...

Now, he has dropped it on the floor and is looking at me like "Did you just see what I did?"

Yeah me!!

After breakfast we went back to the field for the "skills assessment". I didn't get any pictures of Jackson hitting the ball because I was feeding Marshall, but I did manage some photos of him catching grounders and throwing them to first base through the chain link fence. I was so proud!!!

After that, we drove up to Granbury to see a Rangers game. There was a rain delay, but thank goodness we were under the overhang....right Marshall?
And one last photo from breakfast the next morning with Grandpa's glasses...

Needless to say, it has been a busy month. I really need to make sure I take my camera everywhere. Jackson has had three practices already and his first game is Tuesday. Hopefully I will get some pictures up shortly though - his uniform is SO cute. I can't wait for the game!! Oh well - onto another month. I can't imagine why they seem to be passing by so quickly...
