Paint Party

Austin had his buddy Ethan over today. They had a BLAST... Water, Paint, cardboard box, Nintendo, bikes, and one big, big mess. Boy's are so FUN!

AUSTIN IS BACK! YEA!!

So Austin got back July 25th from his 6 week summer visit with his Bio Dad in Reno. I was able to stay in Reno for the first 3 weeks of the visit and I had Austin during the week days. But I went back to Seattle July 3rd without Austin. The hardest thing I have ever had to do.. We missed him so much... As you mothers can imagine. Time did go by fast, which was a huge blessing.
My mom also lives in Reno and she got to have Austin twice a week. So I loved talking to Austin on the phone those days. My mom also flew with Austin when it was time for him to come back home to Seattle. My mom said he was just full of excitement and joy to finally come home and see us.
So he is back!!! We also had a blast with my mom here in Seattle.
We have been working with Austin to get him back into his daily routine...
Looks like he learned some new phrases, and words. Yikes! Now he will ask, "can I say this word, -----?" He is a sweetheart and all the Gessel's are very very happy to have him home.:) Yea!!!!

SEA FAIR

We took a tour of a Navy Ship and visited with the Army Robots... Pretty FUN!

Animal Park

Nani took us to this cool animal park. Austin found a fun tree to climb.

Austin's new BIG BIKE!!

NO MORE LITTLE BIKE!
Austin's favorite activity is to ride bikes with dad....

As you can see in this picture, Anson built an airplane. It's his new little hobby. BUT,,,,,,, it crashed. I guess he will start to build a new one soon..

Mariner's Game

Silly Silly Boys! It was fun to take Austin to a baseball game. We changed seats a couple times. Next time we go we are buying tickets to sit behind home base.
