| Happy to be living right across the street from the pool and super happy that both kids love the water!!! |
 |
| J trying on daddy's sunglasses for size. |
 |
| Jameson and I escaped to the park for a Saturday morning mother-son date while Rob got some things done at home. He loved this rope obstacle course at a park close to home. |
 |
| Coloring with sidewalk chalk while trying to get some outside time during Ava's nap. |
 |
| A trip to the zoo in early June. Jameson and his friend, Evan, discussing how "big" that tiger is. They are so cute and Jameson really looks up to Evan. At different random times Jameson will make comparisons of himself to Evan, for example "I'm fast just like Evan". |
 |
| Boys will be boys, right?!?! Inside the fish/reptile house at the zoo, Jameson was leaning against the waist-high rail in front of an aquarium display and somersaulted over it! I was within a foot of him and saw it all in slow motion, but was carrying Ava in my arms. He continued to hold on to the bar the whole way through, even at the end when his forehead hit the rocks he was standing on. My friend (who was with her own two kids) rushed over and grabbed Ava and I helped Jameson off. He was screaming!!!! Other children in the building were covering their ears as we rushed to the bathroom to wipe off blood (heads bleed a lot!) and assess what the injury was. After some first aid assistance from Zoo staff, we headed off to find ice cream. This precious smile....post ice cream :) |
 |
| Stopping to smell some ... lavender. |
 |
| A rainy morning art craft. |
 |
| We have so much fun in the car together. We headed out this Saturday morning for some ground coffee to bring back home. Jameson kept saying that he wanted to "jam" and asked for "fast" music, which means a fast beat but also loud (he loves the song "Uptown Funk" and will sing the "whoo" part). Anytime we head out of the house without Ava, he will observe and say "No Ava" and seem pretty excited about the 1:1 time. |
 |
| Later that same Saturday after selling off some items in our neighborhood yard sale (to make some room in the garage after emptying our basement out last summer for the refinish), we had Jameson try riding his new bike. |
 |
| Ava...his captive audience. |
 |
| Love those toes!!!!!! |
 |
| A balance bike. Go Jameson! |
 |
| Cruising around the park. |
 |
| A much needed break from all that peddling, I mean balancing (so exhausting!). |
 |
| Our little monkey. |
 |
| I snatched this photo with my phone one evening after feeding Ava before bed. She just fell and stayed asleep in my arms. Sweetness. |
 |
| And a little early summer fun for Rob and I, too. He strung the lights on the balcony and we've started to enjoy the beautiful evening weather after the kids go to sleep. |
