It's Labor Day! Our first official day off since school started a few short weeks ago. I always love Labor Day...it's that little tease when school starts again that summer's not quite over. The weather the last week or so has also been a good reminder that summer is still in full swing. It's been close to 100 degrees everyday since last week. Today is the first day that it isn't sweltering outside! We can't wait to get out in the backyard in a little while to enjoy some pool time in the sun. We won't have anymore Mondays like this for a long time! This weekend, we got to enjoy some family time in St. Louis. We visited Elena's new baby cousin, Blake. She just adores him. Elena likes to pet his head and give him kisses. I was lucky enough to sit and hold Blake for hours. It was amazing...I miss those days of having a sleeping baby on me! Elena is just too active now for those cuddles of long ago!! I guess that's why people go for baby #2, huh?! :)
Elena turned 21 months old this past Thursday. We are getting closer by the day to the two year old mark. How exciting...another milestone for our girl. Being around Blake this weekend made me realize how much she's grown and how much she's learned in just 21 months! God has blessed us in so many ways when it comes to Elena and I know there will be so much more to be thankful for in the future!
Here are a few pictures from the last week or so...
