Thinking Inside the Box






Pictures from Top: 1. Austin peeking through the handle of his diaper box 2. Austin playing in his diaper box 3. Tired boy laying under the table holding his transporter truck 4. Austin eating some green playdough for snack 5. Yummy playdough (if click on this photo to enlarge it you can see the green rings around his mouth!)
29 more days until we come home! The weather has been sunny and hot (85 degrees) all week so our walks have become a sweat fest, for me at least since I have Austin on my back in the carrier. It is getting tiresome not to have a yard to play in or porch to sit on. Everytime we want to go outside we have to pack up and head into the woods, where Austin cannot get down to play because of ticks, or walk to the next town over.

Allen has been getting home late all week because of work and will probably have to start working weekends to, so we cannot plan any overnight trips for our weekends. However, I did find a town called Rothenburg which is only an hour away that has a year round Christmas Village! And you know how I love Christmas;) Hopefully we'll be able to go next weekend.

Austin is his usual spunky self! He is not wanting to walk by himself on the wood floors in the apartment. I know it's because it hurts when he falls. At the hotel in Munich the room was carpeted and he was letting go of things and walking all over the place. Oh well....I guess we'll be waiting to walk until we get home. He continues to talk up a storm, some of which we understand and some we don't, and whistle at the birds all day:)

That's all for now, I better start doing the laundry and dishes before peanut wakes up.
