Surviving the Heat!





Here are the photos I promised, from the 4th of July weekend. What better way to celebrate summer and stay cool than with watermelon, swimming pool and some fireworks! These two love playing in the water, especially when there's watermelon to be had...fun times!!

We just survived a whole week without Daddy (he was in North Carolina for work, playing golf!). Many thanks to Sitie for staying with us. We miss her a lot; but we're really glad to have Daddy home! Dylan really missed his dad, and was quite disappointed that we couldn't pick him up from the airport Sunday night (since his plane was delayed by 5 hours). Anyway,we're getting used to life back to normal.

Lukie is really growing more into a little boy every day. He and Dylan love to play together; but the fighting between them is increasing as well. Whenever Luke has something, Dylan seems to want it. It's starting to drive me crazy!! I try to let them work it out, but often have to intervene before the tears start. Luke still isn't talking too much, although he makes lots of sounds, we just don't understand him. However, he totally understands us... he nods yes and no when asked questions, and he can follow directions. He loves shoes! Whenever anyone is going outside, he runs to get his shoes, throws them on the floor and sits down for you to put them on. He also hates getting left out. Gone are the days when Daddy and Dylan, or Papa and Dylan can go anywhere leaving Lukie behind. He is now one of the boys and rightfully must be included!

We're prepping for Dilly's birthday next week, which doesn't involve too much this year. Invitations have been mailed and I just need to order (or bake) a cake. We'll be visiting the fire station and then back home for hot dogs and cake. I've decided not to do anymore big parties; they're just too much work! I'm sure this party will be just right for him and his little buddies.
