So as stated on our first post 2 months ago life was speeding up and definitely sped up. We can't believe that we are halfway through our summer already.
The trip to San Diego that was on the horizon occurred and went from one week there to four weeks. The kids had a blast with being so close to the ocean. Caleb went from being chased by the waves to chasing the waves and surfing. Aidan went from hating the sand to rolling around in it. Aidan also began to like being in the waves. James and I also very much enjoyed being in the beautiful weather and the ability to be outside with feeling like we were in a sauna.
My work as of today finally slowed down a little, although we have another trip back to Southern Cali the middle of August. I am looking forward to a few weeks at home with out the stress at work.
James finished up his two classes for the spring and enrolled in two more for the fall. He is enjoying some time off of hard core school although he is working through a couple of independent study bible courses. He is also looking forward to remodeling our master bath due to our bathtub breaking last weekend.
We also this summer took a week and went to Chicago to visit Mom and Steve over the 4th. We had a blast hanging out in the pool, food and conversation. We also enjoyed going to the Taste of Chicago. The below pic is from the center park area of the Taste. I highly recommend this if you've never been. We decided we want to try and do something like this every year. Next year we are thinking of the VP fair in St. Louis.
Aidan turned 1 this month and we discovered he LOVES cake. He will eat as much as you give to him. He loves following Caleb around and playing with balls. I think he will be our sports fanatic. He is not full force walking yet, but he has taken a few steps by himself here and there.
Caleb has discovered that he likes to swim, although with our travels no swim lessons have been had, the hotel in Cali and Mom's pool have convinced him that it is fun. He has started to make up his own songs and will be found walking around singing during the day. He also loves cars and wants to go golfing with Daddy.
That is all for now.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the summer.
