Cay pretty much wants me to hold him all the time…...when I don’t…the tantrums ensue (see pic). If you take anything like a remote, phone or cell phone you can expect a major battle. If you take him off of anything that moves he is livid. He is doing the limp fish act..if you are a parent you know what that is. He adds a thrown head though so you really must watch your face when it starts. He is a pretty ruthless persuader—even at 2 am. Man, I am tired.
We had another great trip to Lake Joc. We have had the best times there my whole life. Honestly, some of my fondest childhood memories are there and it is pure joy to take my own children back there to relax on beaches, play in the water, and yes, jump off rocks that look like whales in the water (see pic of Jeb on rock). We also like to go see all the waterfalls around the lake. AND Jeb and Jonas were thrilled that this trip we saw a big snake!
My best childhood friend came by to see us this week. What a joy! She brought her 2 girls and Jeb really relished holding and loving on sweet little Addison.
Cay is now saying “outside” and he starts to put on shoes—any shoes…even our shoes (see pic).
The boys have enjoyed our very own home grown melons this week (see pic)! They were yummy! We can eat a gallon of berries, 2 containers of strawberries, at least a few apples, a couple bananas, some grapes, a head of romaine lettuce, and a ½ gallon of OJ a week. My produce bill is not cheap so I am grateful for a few FREE melons!
I have had the great joy of keeping some friends' kids this week when they had new babies or things they needed to do. I don't like making folks meals, but I will keep kids with a happy heart. It is a nice way to serve friends without cooking! I wish I liked cooking since it is so necessary and something I do often...but the fact it...I JUST DON'T.
We have also had a ton of fun swimming with Mrs. Jill and at Mrs. Kim's this summer. See Caleb in Mrs. Kim's baby pool. He has taken a few naps there while Jeb and I play and chat with Kim and the girls.
