too stinkin' hot...

Yikes it's been a while since I've blogged! I don't have any single good reason except that's been too freaking hot. I hate the heat... and the heat hates me. We don't get along well. I get cranky and usually get a massive headache. But as I sit here writing to you it has clouded over and there is a beautiful breeze flowing through my window, Praise the LORD! However I do still have a massive headache so I will be brief and will leave you with photos and captions of what we've been up to despite the disgusting heat.

{Rupert's adorable buddy Cason. Cason's mommy, Arden, and I are blessed to have such precious little boys who let us walk down town and look in stores while they just sit in their strollers, chat and look around.}

{deep in discussion.}

{seriously, how cute is he? besides Rupert, he is the cutest little boy ever!}

{our favorite spot, sitting at the drain dropping rocks}

{new activity, climbing into and on top of things}

{Grandma came for a visit. As always we had to go to Starbucks for some treats before we started our day.}

{The hot weather does afford many benefits as well... namely beach days!}

{we weren't planning on a beach day which is why Rupert is dressed in jeans and a long sleeve shirt. It was cloudy in the morning I promise! But Rupert fell asleep in the car, so we decided to keep driving to Rathtrevor to let him sleep.}

{Grandma bought Rupe a pail and shovel to take down to the beach which was a huge hit! Although he did prefer to play in the parking lot with the gravel rather than the sand.}

{Rupe is such a little observer! He saw me picking up big rocks and the crabs that poured forth from under them and he began doing the same thing. Turning over all the rocks and then chasing and catching all the scurrying little crabs.}

{Rupe and Grandma at the beach where I often spent many days with my grandparents in the summer.}

{After a very busy week Rupe likes to crawl into his basket and kick back with a good book.}

{Grammie also came for a visit, but there are no photos as we were very busy organizing and cleaning the house! Rupe loves his Grandma and Grammie and so do we!}
