Boys of Summer

I have been meaning to update our blog with the last few pictures from our trip and the rest of our summer happenings. We have been blessed to be surrounded by so many stinky little boys, and as one of three girls I am learning A LOT of new things I never knew about boys...but I LOVE them all so dearly...even my stinky husband. So here is the last installment of our around the world photos and a few fun pics with us and our sticky-fingered nephews.

I must first preface our pictures from London with a little background about our location. I never dreamed that I would be able to gleefully indulge in two of my FAVORITE pastimes both at the same time...ice cream and concerts. It is true…such a thing does exist. Christian and Sarah took us to an all-you-can-eat Ben and Jerry's carnival/concert with the boys while we were visiting them in London. It was kid/adult heaven! I must admit after 5 ice cream cones of chunky monkey, a stomach full of cotton candy and an afternoon of pet farms, loud music, and a few meltdowns (mainly Josh) I realized why my mother always advised that "too much sugar is DEFINITELY a bad idea". With that being said we had a blast shoving our faces with the 20 or so different flavors of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and hanging out with family.

I think the rest of the pics are from summer time here in Atlanta where Sarah, Christian, and the boys came to visit for the month of August. I also included some photos from my trip down to St. Simon's with my mom, sister, and baby Eli. Enjoy!
