Back to the routine

Summer vacation is officially over and we are officially back into the routine with the kids, school and work.  Though im sure Kaylen enjoys his Summer Break from school, im glad its over. Two and a half months off is a long time, lol. So...he's officially back in school for 5th grade and his last year of Elementary. I cant believe how quickly time goes by and how fast he has grown. This year I've made a promise to myself and him that I will try and be more involved and take part in the class field trips. I've never been able to because of work.  It hard to get time off to engage in these kinds of things, but its important to me to have that experience with him. 

                                                         His first day back to school =]

Justice is making progress with potty training...he's started to be more consistent with using the toilet on his own. He's very independent, has to do everything himself.  He's talking a lot more these days and definitely has a mind of his own. 

Some recent fun updates:

Cory's cousin China came out to visit from Detroit. It was nice to have her, she visited for a week and it was nice to finally meet her and hang out. 

Here are some other visitors that we've had this summer in the Austin household:

Grandaddy was a surprise visitor


  Aunt Sharon came by to hang out and BBQ

My sisters came to visit, each at different times...and brought my adorable nieces.

Melyssa came by with her hubby and hung out with us, we had a nice dinner and the kids got to play...above is a pic of Molly & Justice

My sis Shannan came by to visit us me and stayed the night...we tried Scrapbook but the kids weren't having it so we watched the Twilight Saga and a couple other movies...here's my niece Sophie (3 mos.)

Could update some more but it'll have to wait...the hubby is requesting my presence to watch a movie :]

Chao!
