Sweet Summertime

   Sorry about my long absence from blogging! I've been feeling overwhelmed lately. Hardy has been walking for over a month now, but just recently he's walking REALLY well and into everything. Well, he was into everything before, but it seems he's gotten faster at it. And with Hardy walking more, AnnElise has regressed in her potty training. I'm hoping to get this corrected fast. If AnnElise is back to using her potty all of the time by the end of this month, she can go to Cousin Camp at her Mamaw's and Papa's for an ENTIRE WEEK. I know AnnElise would have so much fun, but I also have a lot to gain from this as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and lots of M&Ms on hand to get her back on track. She can only go if she's potty trained. Mamaw and Papa are really brave for planning an entire week trying to keep up with 7 kids.
   Aside from Hardy walking now, he just had ear surgery last week to get tubes. He seems sick a lot. Every time he got a runny nose, he also got an ear infection. He'd been on 4 antibiotics in 6 months so we decided tubes were his best option. A super quick procedure early one morning and he was back to normal the very next day. Now, we're on to planning Hardy's 1st Birthday party. Time surely seems to fly by with 2 very active children.
   Aside from trying to keep up with the kids, I've been trying to make everything I pin on pinterest. Being crafty is hard with young kids, but its nice to have something else to do especially with this killer heat wave and drought keeping us indoors more than normal. We have certainly taken advantage of the Y swimming pool this summer. I sense some relief this week, but I'm really looking forward to  Fall.
