Loving Life!!!

Well, the title pretty much sums up how things are going here!  We are absolutely loving life with the Little Man.  Speaking of the Little Man - somehow he just isn't so little anymore!  We aren't sure when he grows, but he's been doing an awful lot of it!  All of a sudden we have this big boy on our hands!  He literally changes daily and we are just amazed.

Here's a bit of what has been going on around here:

*After weeks of rain and temps 20 degress below normal, we have had a BEAUTIFUL weekend.  It has been in the 80's and 90's all weekend and looks like the upcoming week will bring the same. 

*We bought a little pool for the backyard so that we can play in it with the Little Man on these hot days.  We also bought a swing for him and we can't wait to get it up so he can enjoy that as well.

*My dad came over yesterday with some loads of dirt and helped us to get our garden all set up.  The plants went in yesterday and the seeds will go in today.  Can't wait to have those fresh veggies, and this year Drew can enjoy them too!

*We had our first backyard campfire last night and enjoyed roasting hot dogs and making smores.  It was so nice to just relax - there's nothing like sitting around a campfire.

*Drew has both bottom teeth now and with that our good sleeper has returned! 

*Only 3 1/2 weeks until summer vacation - we can't wait to be able to spend every day with Mr. Man!

*Drew decided yesterday that he likes pickles - MJ let him suck on one for a few minutes and he LOVED it!  She ended up cutting the skin off and giving him chunks of it.  He ate the whole thing.

Life in these parts can't get much better!
