Summertime!

Well...summer is almost here! The students are officially out for the summer but the teachers have 3 more days. Landon is out of daycare for the summer. We were lucky to find someone who will let him stay with me for the summer and not charge us the time he's not there. Landon will actually come with me the last 3 days of school and then our summer will be spent...

doing a little bit of this...catching up on these...

Relaxing two full weeks here...

Painting kitchen cabinets, tiling the kitchen back splash, and tiling the bathroom floors

that's only if I feel adventurous!

I hope everyone reading has a wonderful summer with their families and friends!

Poor Jaxson

This weekend, we were watching Andrew's parents dog, PJ. Needless to say it was a full house, especially for our house. On Saturday night, Andrew let the dogs out. PJ is on a leash but Jaxson runs around on his own. Everyone went out fine but not everyone came back ok. Once everyone was in, I noticed red spots on the wood floor. I looked closer and saw that it was bloody paw prints. We checked all 8 paws and found that Jaxson had put a deep cut in one of his paw pads. There isn't much to do for a cut pad, so we cleaned it, wrapped it and then put one of Landon's socks over the bandage. Jaxson is more bothered by the wrapped paw, than the cut itself. Hopefully it will heal quickly. Poor Jaxson! :(

On the Move

Finally! Here is the video of Landon crawling! He has been crawling for about two weeks. Sorry it's so late. I have been busy with work as it comes to a close (in 8 days) and a bad storm came through so we lost power for two days. This video is of Landon when he first learned but he has become much better since! I hope you all enjoy!

Bethany Beach

At the end of the workday last Friday, my co-worker invited us to Bethany Beach, DE. Her family has a small beach house there. It is known as the Carriage House and was actually the carriage house to this house in the early nineteen hundreds. Sorry, I don't have a picture of the carriage house.

Nancy and her family drove up on Friday night. We set off on Saturday morning. It wasn't that bad of a drive, just 3 hours north. We stayed at a local hotel for the night and left Sunday afternoon. We spent most of the time at the beach but also walked on the boardwalk and shopped.

Not much had changed from our trip to the beach in Florida, Landon was still afraid of the waves. We did find a puddle shallow enough for Landon to play.

We had a great time and would love to go again!

A Day at the Beach

On Saturday, Uncle Sean, Landon, Andrew, and I headed to the beach to eat lunch at one of our favorite beach restaurants, Cruisers. After lunch we headed to the beach for awhile. Andrew and I were excited to take Landon to the beach for the first time. As you will see in a picture below, Landon was not as excited to be at the beach.

Other Cute Pictures

I thought I would post some other good pictures from the weekend so far.

Sean was wearing some aviator glasses and he decided that Grandma should try them on. She doesn't look to bad!

After graduation we all went to eat at a Japanese Steak house. Landon came along and enjoyed the show. From across the table, all you could see of him was his big head!

Landon's night was ending as Uncle Danny's was just getting started!

Graduation Speech

I thought you might like to hear Danny's speech from graduation. I have to admit I was a little nervous for him. Danny had three days to get an inspirational, sentimental, thought-provoking speech together...all of which Danny is not! it turned out to be a nice speech and if you know Danny, it it fitting to his personality.
