I can't believe it has been one month since I've last written. I'm not really sure where the time goes. In five SHORT weeks, I have to go back to work and am feeling a lot of anxiety about it. However, my boys are my distraction! We have somehow managed to stay super busy this summer, cramming as much fun in as we can! Some of the things we do on a weekly basis are:
swim, go to the park, go to the library, lunch dates, pic-nics, stay home and just play, work in the garden, go for walks, go for bike rides, play at the tennis/basketball courts, throw rocks off the pier, shopping trips, dates with grandmas, play in the sand box, play in the sprinkler, play dates with friends, golfing, golf cart rides, t-ball, etc.
We still have a lot of things to look forward to, as well! :)
Jak gets the award for having the biggest news this summer! In a little over a week, Jak started to swim without floaties, jump off a diving board, and ride his bike without training wheels! He is just truly amazing! That little stinker is just so coordinated and athletic! hahaha He has been so much fun to watch!
Frank is growing like crazy, too...well at least developmentally! HA! He is still just a little peanut. I'll be surprised if he is 20lbs. by his 15 month check up! He jibber jabbers all the time and really loves to say "eese" (please) because he wants EVERYTHING! He has figured out how cute he is because he'll say "eese" and cock his head to the side and just look at you with the biggest bluest eyes and smile! HOW can you say no to that little face? :) He is so funny and is doing his very best to keep up with big brother! My heart will be torn to pieces when I have to hand him over to someone else at the end of the summer. He's my little baby who has my heart wrapped around his finger!
In other news, Nick and I have decided to take our first little trip without the boys. When I say little, I mean just to Michigan City for the night! :) We are still so super excited about our little get away! We've been away from the boys all just one other time. We went out to a party at the club and then picked the boys up in the morning after a nice breakfast out. It was nice, but the house was eerily quiet. I am hoping that being in a hotel will help me relax more and not miss them so terribly. Maybe I'll finally be able to sleep past 7:30! We have made it a tradition to go to the outlets for some back to school shopping. It's a little pick me up when it comes to starting school. I think this will be our fourth year. We usually go for one evening without the boys. Last year we made it a family date and took the boys with us, but this year we decided to extend it a little. I am so looking forward to this time with Nick! I'm sure Jak and Frank will love their time with Grandma and Poppy, too!
Happy summer to you all! :)
