Weekend Jaunts

First some cute photos.

C.J. loves his helmet. He puts it on before he plays soccer outside. He wears it when he rides his "airplane" around the house. He wears it when he rides in the Burly. He's even worn it to church. Here he is with it on in the bathtub.

And some recent photos of Eli. He sure is growing up!

Now to our recent weekends. These photos are at the cabin on our anniversary weekend. I sure do love spray bottles. They keep our toddler entertained for a long time.

Yesterday we went up to Silver Lake for a picnic and a walk around the lake. I've been meaning to get up there all summer! It was almost 20 degrees cooler and absolutely beautiful. On the way home we stopped at the Spruces and made some camping reservations for us and our neighbors. Can't wait!

Reasons to Celebrate!

1- My parents have been married for 50 years! We had an amazing time celebrating with them at Aspen Grove earlier this month.

2- Barry and I have been married 6 years. We spent our anniversary at the cabin. It was a beautiful weekend, though not very romantic with 2 kids demanding our attention. Next year--no kids!

3- C.J. hasn't had a bottle in 4 days! This also means no more changing his sheets in the middle of the night.

4- My bone marrow has stepped up and doing its job and my white blood cell counts are totally normal. No more taking my temperature twice a day. No more quarantine from sick people or crowds. No more visits to the hematologist. And best of all, no bone marrow biopsy.

5- Our dear friend, Mike Torsak is getting married tomorrow. We're thrilled for him and Michelle.

6- Peach season is here! Mmmm. I may have to go every day to Taco Amigo to get a fresh peach shake. They are low fat, aren't they??
