It’s July!!!
July 4th has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love parades and fireworks. Red, White, and Blue are some of my favorite colors, especially paired together.
This holiday also marks the beginning of summer. I know, I know, summer officially starts in mid-June, but to me, July 4th is the day.
Today I took Gabe to the store with me. While we were there I picked up some treats… Here he is, eating his first popsicle!
Summer of 2009 is off to a good start!
In other news, Ryan has been battling an umbilical hernia for several months. It finally got bad enough that he got the surgery. He’s resting up this week; in a fair amount of pain, but is already doing much better than I expected him to after just 2 days! He’s not allowed to lift over 8lbs for 4 weeks, so no wrestling or playing with Gabe. The poor little guy is having a hard time understanding why Daddy can’t play, but he is full of kisses and hugs to cheer Daddy up!
Last night we attended a graduation party for a friend’s son. the theme was a formal dinner party and everyone was dressed up for the candlelit dinner. It was really special!
On a more exciting and cuter note, Gabe is growing up. I’m so proud of him. He’s sleeping in his big boy bed at night! When Vicki’s family gets home from their trip we’ll return the crib and changing table so he’ll have more space in his room. I’ll also return the bin-unit all his toys are in since he’s getting a new one that’s Cars themed! (thanks to a site I’m affiliated with that is partnered with companies that want reviews for their products) This new set is a combo… Toy box on the bottom, 1 row of bins, and then a bookshelf on top. I think it will work so much better since he needs a space to put big things like balls and larger trucks, and he’s going to need a bookshelf once the changing table is gone.
