It takes a village

This was a fun and full weekend at our house! They say it takes a village to raise a child, and Yesterday we proved that is the absolute truth. Mom and Dad had tickets to the Missouri Tigers Game and finding childcare for the two of you proved to be very difficult. Usually, we would just call Nanny Lauren, and she would handle it, but with her leaving for college, we feel left in a lurch! So, Grandma came over for a few hours, then your cousin Alexandra took over for the afternoon, and finally, Aunt Kerry came over around dinnertime and hung out and put you both to bed. Wow!
Today, Jax had two flag football games-he played awesome, with at least 7 receptions, 3 for touchdowns! After that, we came back home for a bit, and then decided to go to the Leblond Carnival. We had a lot of fun there, the very long slide was the favorite attraction. We also rode a ride, that took our stomachs and Cole was not pleased (even though he rode it last year and loved it), and I am trying to comfort him and then so is Jackson (proud mama moment right there). I look over and Jax is saying “Hold my hand, Cole. You’re OK”. I was practically in tears on the ride.  What a sweet boy I am raising! After that, Jax headed to baseball practice and Cole and I came home. The weather was so beautiful, we were all outside until 9pm, even though it got dark around 7:45. Summer is coming to a close, and we will miss it so much.
