Hello! First of all need to apologize for being so bad about not updating the blog this past month. Honestly don’t have a good excuse other than the fact that we haven’t spent much time indoors this month! We are officially as settled as I think we will be for our one year stay in Columbus. Kaitlyn and I have spent lots of time checking out the parks, pool, zoo, children’s museum, and even the Ohio State Fair! Promise I didn’t darn go on my own – my partner in crime, Molly, and I took Kaitlyn and her two boys yesterday. It was quite an adventure and interesting look into American society. We are enjoying Columbus a lot more than I actually thought and it’s great to have everything so close. Kaitlyn and usually walk over to the park or library at least every other day and head up to the pool a couple time a week with Jack and Sam.
As for the rest of the month of July, my parents came back up to Columbus right after helping us settle in. Again, THANK YOU MOM and DAD! They came as back up for Brad while I ventured back to South Beach, FL for Lindsey’s bachelorette party with 11 other girls! It was a fabulous long weekend , much needed break from being “mom,” and moving and a great way to celebrate with Lindz who’s big day is coming up in a few months!
Brad is well underway in his fellowship and really enjoying the people he’s working with and the experience that he’s getting so far! Life is good and we’re just taking it all in one day at a time :) Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!!
Here are some of our favorites from this past month.
Watching the Upper Arlington 4th of July parade... yes, they had a parade. Not quite as elaborate as a Mardi Gras parade but pretty impressive.

One of several trips to the zoo already. This time we took Bebe and Pops along to see the animals and ride the zoo train!
Sporting our Ohio State gear (thanks Aunt Anne!)....getting ready for football season already!

Think everyone knows already but Kaitlyn finally broke her silence and told everyone her big news of becoming a BIG sister. Baby II expected to arrive sometime around Jan 31st!!
Another trip to the zoo with our pals!
Kaitlyn's haircut at the kiddo haircut place! She did so good and just played with her hippo friend the whole time.
22 month pics!
We ventured to the local Irish Festival last weekend with the Olds. Kaitlyn and Sam were showing off their hats that they decorated themselves while listening to the music.
Our favorite phrase of the week is "No Momma" as little Miss Independent takes over my child's body. Kaitlyn is all about doing everything herself. This was yesterday's attempt at putting on her own shirt - got all but one arm through!
The Ohio State Fair....
Watching the pig races in Sam's lap :)
Our first pony ride!
The gang after a FUN filled day!
