... Party in my PJs ...

CHEESE

We are up to four teeth now

(Don't you love which top teeth came in first?)

The top middle teeth are on their way through... should be here soon.

:: Little Body in a Big Bed ::

When Levi wakes up in the morning (around 6:00)
we always bring him into our bed with us for some morning cuddle time
So when Craig and I get up to get ready, he keep snoozing...
and the picture of his little body in this big ol' bed makes me giggle every time:



Who could say no to this sweet face in the morning- right?

I love this cuddle bug:)

Cultural Worship

Here is a snapshot of how training is going :)
This is from one of our Cultural Worship nights at Orientation-

Look real close....
Don't overlook the details that make this picture/moment HILARIOUS :)

.Exhausted.

Levi discovered a new sleep position:



Apparently it works like a charm- look at him :)

And you know Momma & Papa will never complain about extra cuddle time!

.Family Time on the James River.

Last Saturday we spent the evening exploring the outdoors by the James River

just down the road from us in Richmond, Virginia



It was refreshing for all three of us just being in the midst of God's creation

I absolutely cherish times like this with my guys :)

::WV Cousins::

While in WV we were able to cook out at Craig's Aunt Wilma & Uncle John's house
Craig's cousins, Lori and Stacey, were in town so we got to visit with them and their kiddos:

Lori, Jodi, Stacy, Craig

Caleb, Lori, Jodi & Tate, Stacy, Craig & Levi, Abby

Craig's Aunt Wilma got these cute little outfits for the boys
Tate's says: Here Comes Trouble
Levi's says: It's the SMILE that keeps me out of Trouble

:: Cousin Tate & Levi ::

So grateful for cousins!

.Fallecker Family Photo.

While at the park- we took some family photos as well

POSE 1

POSE 2

(although we are missing my step brother Jarod- sad you couldn't be there J)

.Fun at Moraine State Park.

We spent the entire day one Sunday at Moraine State Park with my family.
I think we were trying to see how much fun we could cram into one day-
We played on the playground, ate lunch, rode bikes, swam in the lake, raced around the swing set, played corn hole, and ended the night by playing some night volleyball back at the house.
GOOD TIMES!

Biking Buddies &
Jacob, our Fearless Leader on the Bike Trail

Here are more captured memories:

These two were cheering me on in volleyball chanting "Go Aunt D!" in unison- precious!
& Levi getting some loving from Aunt Caitlin

I wish we could do it again- thanks for a wonderful day everyone :)
Love you guys!

My Big Boy PJs

We found these PJ's at a consignment sale in the 2T section...
Well, as you can see, we weren't going to wait until he was two to wear them!

He is so cute in his comfy Lightning McQueen PJs

He looks like such a big boy in them

IDLEWILD

When we were visiting my family in Pennsylvania, we went to Idlewild Park (a great kids amusement park) for the Painter family reunion...
I remember going to this place as a little girl, so it was fun to take Levi and watch my nephews have a blast on some of the rides I always loved.

Here's our crew:

Some snapshots of the rides and fun faces:

Levi hanging out with Grandma Freddie and Grandpa Dan

Fun faces and a tuckered out little tike by the end of the day!

We enjoyed getting to see some of my aunts, uncles, and cousins that we don't see very often, ride some rides, get wet at the "Splash Zone" in the park, eat some kettle corn and funnel cakes...
Yep, all in all I would say it was two thumbs up!
