Addie's latest word that we can understand: water. A phrase we swear she says at the appropriate time "what are you doing?" Daddy says "what are you doing?!?!" to Ayson all. the. time.
Ayson did NOT have ONE pee accident in his bed during the night or during nap time...YAY, such a big boy! He did randomly poop in his underwear today/Sunday (I guess you can "never trust a fart" even when you are young...not that Mommy would know...must be a guy thing:)
Mommy and Daddy both remembered their anniversary (July 29th) a couple of days before hand, but we both forgot about it on Monday morning. We remembered about half way through the day and sent each other an email :)
Monday afternoon we were able to play outside for a good bit of time as Ayson did not dawdle during dinner.
Ayson practicing his batting skills with Daddy.
Mommy is SO glad that she is no longer Daddy's burdock target!!!
Swing time with Mommy!
Tuesday:
Fun at the park.
Addie loves to point at balls and say "ball, ball." She was not interested in sharing the ball with Daddy.

Hi Baby Doll!
Thursday:
A^4 went to Jamesville Park for Daddy's Company family picnic. We all feasted on good food, chatted with Adam's colleagues, and Ayson had fun playing with the other kids.
There was even a balloon man for the kids and Ayson received a red teddy bear balloon.
Addie on the slide...weeee!
Friday was Mommy's birthday and she had planned a spa day with 3 friends at Mirbeau (Mommy used a gift card from Daddy...thanks, Daddy!!!!).
Mommy and her friend, Robyn, went to a morning "Tone and Stretch" class and Heidi (see the below picture of the bartender/fitness instructor) kicked our butts (and legs/core/arms)! At one point, Mommy said, "I am going to need a straw to drink my wine!" After the class, Mommy and Robyn met up with Anne and Sandie and we all relaxed in the outdoor hot tub and chatted on the patio.
This "Monet-esk" picture is the view from our lunch table on the patio.

Mommy and her friends: Robyn, Anne, and Sandie.
Mommy and Robyn both have August birthdays and we had been talking about doing a "spa day" for at least 6 years...and both Anne and Sandie were over due for some "me" time. We all had a great time at lunch and then each had pedicures :)

Mommy left the house at 6:30 am Saturday morning for a whirlwind trip to NYC with two neighbor friends: Denise and Josephine.
SO, Daddy was holding down the fort with the kiddos. Mommy and Daddy had discussed (very, very briefly) giving Ayson a hair cut. Mommy warned Daddy not to cut Ayson's hair too short because Ayson likes to twirl the hair above his forehead. Mommy joked with Daddy that he should give Ayson a mohawk. Well, Mommy got a text from Daddy on Saturday morning with this:)
Addie now eats right at the table with us. She is such a good girl!
Mommy's friend, Denise, has a brother who owns a penthouse apartment in Brooklyn and when the brother is not in NYC, he encourages family to use the apartment. Denise has taken many of her friends to NYC for quick weekend getaways (about a 4:15 hour drive) and Mommy was finally able to break away from the kiddos to take a trip into NYC! We had a fabulous time and Denise is an awesome tour guide!!! Once we arrived at the penthouse apartment, we dropped off our stuff and then went to lunch in Brooklyn Heights. We then took the subway to Manhattan and walked around downtown. We saw old brown stone houses in Brooklyn, Grand Central Station, Times Square, a fabulous grocery store (see below pics), an amazing cooking store (Dean and Deluca...Adam would have been in heaven) and just took in the sights and people.

A beautiful grocery store that had everything crammed in from floor to ceiling.
Apples, cheese, and wine...mmmm!
The evening view from the penthouse apartment rooftop patio (Yes, Mommy is using the word "penthouse" as many times as she can :) :)
We picked up snacks (cheese, fruit, hummus, guacamole, and dessert) at the grocery store and then dined on the snacks and wine while sitting on the penthouse patio while the sun set. We then got up around 5ish on Sunday and were on the road at 6 am Sunday morning.
Mommy was home by 11:15 (we stopped for breakfast :) and everyone was happy to have her home!
The kiddos Sunday morning.
