Boy it sure has been a while since I posted something! So much has happened that I’d never be able to put it in one post. And I’ll never get caught up if I put it all in separate posts. So I’ll give you the highlights for June.
First of all, Mike, “the Mom”, and “the Dad” got to spend an unusually large amount of time together! “The Mom” ended up not teaching for the first summer session. And with some planning, and also some very “unplanned” trips, we all three got to spend most of the month of June together. And what did we do with our time? Why – we enjoyed being a family!
And here’s the where the whirlwind highlights begins…
We spent lots of time at parks. Mike discovered slides!
“Weeeeee!!!”
We got a new train set. Thanks Tanya!!!! This has been a BIG hit!!!
“Now I can say ‘woo woo’ and ‘chugga chugga chugga’”!
We learned how to do some chores – like washing dishes!
“Washing dishes is fun at my age!”
We discovered (or re-discovered) the Fun Fountain…
“Wow! The clown head sprays out water and lifts the hat in to the air!”
“I like to catch the water and eat it!”
We went to the zoo too!
“That red fox looks like our dog ‘Foxy’!”
We took Mike swimming for the first time.
“Look at me! I’m fearless!!!”
And Mike turned 18 months old! A year and a half. How can that be? He was just born a couple of weeks ago. Or maybe it was a month or two ago. Certainly not more than three months ago…
“I’m a year and a half! And I’m growing like a weed!”
We did have on really sad moment during our “month of June”. Our Aunt JoAnne lost her battle with cancer. She always had a knack for making you smile – no matter how you might be feeling at the moment. And while we will miss her, we are so very thankful that she is no longer suffering.
That about sums it all up. We had such a wonderful time together. And we got to see a lot of friends and family too! I’ll be sure to post more 18 month pictures (they turned out very nice!) and I’ll try to be better about keeping you all updated!
So – until next time – as Mike would say, “bye bye”!
