School's out for SUMMER!

We are all smiles in the Morgan home as SUMMER BEGINS!!!!!!

Oh where? Oh where?

Oh where, oh where has my Joel-e gone? Oh where, oh where can he be?

Introducing...

Dr. Morgan :)  or Randy L. Morgan, Ph.D :)

We had a great 48 hours in Indiana. We got to spend  time with our great friends, Lauren & Roy on Thursday evening and Friday, then Randy's Mom, Grandma & Richard met us for the commencement banquet & worship service that evening, then on to graduation Saturday morning...AND on top of all that excitement, we had White Castle two times and Krispy Kreme's while the Hot N' Now sign was flashing !!!!

Eli & Joel were spoiled with love by Momo & Pops and we were SO happy to see them Sunday morning. (Especially after spending  7+ hours at the airport & flight on the way home!) 

Father's Day was low-key since we had been away and were exhausted...church, lunch out and then dinner in...simple family time the way we like it!

Signs of Summer

 

 


T minus 4 more days with students, then 2 additional workdays...not that we are counting or anything :)

Animals!!!

Not our kids....Wilson's Animal Park in Winchester, VA :) We went there this Saturday with some friends of ours. It's only about 25 minutes from us and hidden in the woods. We saw lions, wallabys, camels, monkeys, bears, deer (which followed Randy & Eli like it was their pet!!), goats, lemurs and much more. It was a fun time! The place is a cross between a petting farm & a zoo. After our visit with the animals, we had a true West Virginia style picnic- sitting out the back of our van! Two weeks left of school and then we can really get out there and have fun with the boys! The countdown begins :)

Our family

Just chillin' with the animals...and hoping for snack time!

Safari Joel :)

Tiny Train

This weekend we took the boys to a kid-size train ride down near Harpers Ferry, WV. We had a blast and Eli did not want to get off it when the ride was over! We said, "Time to go" and he motioned for Randy to sit back down and shook his head, "No!" 

Some growth & development updates for you all...

Eli is doing very well with speech. He has started the constant babble with occasional real words that come out. He is also trying to repeat things we are saying. His therapist suggested that we start thinking about going to once a month :)

Joel has two little teeth buds! His bottom two teeth came out of no where! The most shocking news is that he is now out weighing Eli! He is sitting on his own and does a great "Down Dog" pose for yoga :)
