the sumner family: Our Last Week

So......as an act of love, Luke agreed to put up a new storm door for me. Our old one wasn't very energy efficient, nor would it lock, so I always had to keep the front door closed. Putting up the new door was going really well for about 5 minutes, then it went downhill. But Luke, being the amazing handyman that he is, managed to put our new (beautiful!) 80 inch door in a 78 inch space. We ended up having to remove the awnings which was fine with us!

We put up shutters, and while I was painting the door to match, Noah helped himself to the open can of paint.

I don't have any pictures of the final project, but as soon as it stops raining, I'll get some to post!

Here's our little Abby all ready for church last Sunday!

And here she is all tuckered out after skipping her morning nap for the 3rd Sunday in a row! All the nursery activity must keep her busy!

Later that afternoon, Noah was doing his best to teach Abby her colors. He would take the different colored blocks and match them up on the little pop up toy. Abby listened really intently for a few minutes, then just tried to eat the blocks, so Noah gave up and moved the toy out of her reach!

On Tuesday, we had an unexpected visitor! My mom was out visiting her sisters and had a flight delay. They were able to reroute her through Cleveland, so she got to vist with us for about 24 hours! The kids loved it! (And I'm sure she did, too.) Here we are on the way to have Abby's 9 month pictures taken. Noah brought his computer along to entertain him.

Here's Grammy with her grandbabies!

Noah got his first kite! He just loves Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars, and Aldi just happened to have a kite with that character on sale last week! When I came home from my dentist appointment this morning, Luke and Noah were in the front yard flying it.
