Last week of September

Sometimes cliches are so true, so I'm just going to use one here-- time flies when you're having fun. The last few weeks have been a lot of fun and here are just a few snapshots of the highlights.

This was our last day with Steve at the airport. Going to the airport is like a treat for Sterling. There is a viewing deck where you can watch the planes take off and land and he could spend all day out there. Ever since Steve left he's been telling us EVERY day that he wants to ride on a blue airplane and go high up in the sky. We keep replying, "Okay, next year, after your baby is brother is born, in the summer we'll go on an airplane." Of course, at 2, he has no concept of time, so he continues to ask us if he can go on a plane (only now a lot of the time he adds in "with my baby brother can I go on the airplane?")

He's just so sweet when he's sleeping, I couldn't resist.

Sterling got a package of Sunday School materials from the Weltz's the other day (thank you guys!!!) and there were also some Thomas the train stickers. After we did some on paper, he decided to decorate his legs like this.

We went to the zoo last Saturday. It was a beautiful day. I only took one picture because we were just so busy looking at all the animals (the Nagoya Zoo has the infamous green polar bear, for those of you who saw that on the news).

And on Sunday one of our Ozark professors and current board members Chris DeWelt and his wife Carol came in. Our whole team went out to Outback and then back to the Parsons' to hang out. It was a very fun night.
