1. I finally got our Summer List made.... I made it in PSE with this kit and printed it out 12x18 at Costco... it's hanging on our fridge and when we do something on the list the little circles are filled in... it's so fun to be able to see what we've done and what we still get to do. I love Summer!
p.s. we've done stuff on the list.. I just wanted a picture of it before I started filling it in!
2. I've been making neighbor gifts (it's our Family Service project for the month)... I made a 4x6 picture in PSE (with this kit) and then had it printed at walmart... I punched a whole in it and tied it on a bag of Freezer Pops and are giving them to our neighbors as "Happy Summer" gifts... easy, fun and kind of cheesy
!
3. Yesterday as I was working around the house I came in to the dining room and saw this... cute little bare cheeks... I knew it was going to happen sooner or later (or so I heard)... taking off the diaper... and he seems to be making up for lost time because it happened several times yesterday. I love cute little bum cheeks!
p.s I imagine one would need to be very careful doing this so as not to hurt one's "stuff".
4. We spent the weekend at Joey's grandparents house.... his aunts were in town from Washington, Idaho and Arizona... it was a nice weekend away... we mostly talked and ate good food... nice and relaxing and so fun to see everyone.
I think there have been at least a million pictures taken on this porch swing over the years...
5. While we were visiting family Joey's aunt Margie made the best salad (she's a FABULOUS cook!)... its my new favorite... we've eaten it every day since we've been home.Tomato, cucumber, sliced up mozarella cheese, a splash of Basalmic Vinager, drizzle of Olive Oil and Morton's Nature's Seasoning (in the yellow bottle).... mix it all together.... seriously so so good!
And last but not least... One of my dearest friends in the whole world Jennie had her baby over the weekend... little Abigail Grace... Abbi is a miracle baby and I'm soo soo happy for Jennie and Kevin. Such good good people and I'm so excited for them and this new chapter in their lives!
I love when those of us who struggle to have a family finally get to know the joy of parenthood. The reward is that much sweeter. Love you Jennie Ruth! :)
