Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Well, I think fall is officially here. I do love this season though. Fall means cooler temperatures, football, leaves changing colors, and raking. Wait, that last one isn't fun...

This weekend was quite the experience. On Friday my parents and sister came up to take Courtney out to dinner for her birthday and to see Levi, of course. We started driving to the restaurant and I thought the car felt a little low to the ground. Realizing Courtney was the last person to drive, I adjusted the seat back to where I like it thinking this would solve the problem. It didn't. Then I started hearing a funny noise, so I pulled off on a side street. We had a flat tire. So my dad and I changed the tire (in the rain) and drove back and got the Pilot. Eventually we were able to have a nice dinner at Los Tres Amigos. Saturday morning I woke up at 7 AM (yes, you saw that correctly. 7 freaking AM. I haven't been up that early on a Saturday in...well...I can't even remember when) to take Court's car in to have the tire checked out. It was beyond repair so we had to get a new one. After that we went grocery shopping, to Target, to a birthday party, and then eventually back to our house for life group. It was a pretty exhausting day. Luckily on Sunday I was able to compensate by watching football all day while Courtney spent most of the day hanging out with her friends Casey and Melissa. The weather presented us with some interesting challenges as our basement had a little river coming out of the foundation on Sunday. But luckily it was in the unfinished part of the basement, and flowed straight down to the sump pump crock.

Also, Courtney has come to a decision about work. She is going to go back to work part-time and work 3 days a week. So we've got a daycare set up for Levi 3 days a week, and she'll be home the other 2 days. We figured this would be the best of both worlds as Courtney would get a chance to get out of the house and interact with real adults 3 days a week, but also get to stay at home with Levi and not take on a full work schedule. She goes back on October 14th...just around the corner!

Levi turns 2 months on Thursday and has a doctor appointment full of immunizations, so that should be a pretty fun night for all of us. He's still "talking" to us and lately has been pretty clingy. When we put him down he'll start crying almost immediately. He is still sleeping about 6-7 hours most nights which is very nice. He's moving a lot in his bed at night. He'll be in an almost entirely different position in the morning than he was when we put him to bed. Oh, and he's still pretty cute.

Not sure what I just said, but it must have been pretty darn funny.

Levi practicing his Kung Fu moves.

Grandpa Chapin and Levi. Not sure who Grandma is talking to.

The Chapin family. Its pretty amazing how well this turned out. My dad is more red than Prince is.

Levi and Aunt Mindy. Looks like he's trying to leave a present for her in his diaper.

To save some time, Courtney decided to run Levi through the wash with the rest of the clothes.

He really seemed to enjoy it.

Prince is a little confused why there is a baby in the clean laundry.
