Bonding Time

Tycen and I had some nice quality bonding time when Shaylie was visiting Grandma Jan. And of course, we also had some great Lyssie bonding time, too! :)

Tycen's love language...building legos!
















Our first of many long bike ride / jogging stroller excursions together this summer...Tyce went about 7-8 miles (!) and rode right next to me, chatting, most of the way. I loved every second! :)




























We met up with the Leigh boys at OMSI one afternoon:




























Tyce took a session of swimming lessons while Shaylie was gone:










Climbing trees after a jog/bike ride with Tanner (Ericka and Chloe):












Yep, I'm that mom who lets her son do this...












...So, when you get back to your car from a store, unload all your stuff, buckle up your baby and then hear the words..."I really need to go potty, mommy!" Hey, if dogs can pee outside... Don't judge me ;) And yes, this is not a one time event.












How cute are those little buns?!
















Swimming at Lakeshore. It felt incredibly easy to have just 2 kids to take care of for almost a week.

 















Mommy's boy...












I love every one of his smiles and couldn't choose just one of these pictures :)









We all missed Shaylie to pieces, but tried to make the most of our quality time together. I think just like Shaylie did, we definitely made some lasting memories, too! :)
