For the 4th this year, we headed up to my parents’ house. My uncle and two cousins were in town from Indiana. I hadn’t seem my cousin Morgan in over 3 years. She’s so grown up! It was a quick trip, but we had a good time. Grandma and Grandpa got Evan a little crabby pool and he had a splashing good time cooling off in it.
We also hit what I feel is a big step. We left my parents house at bedtime. This means that Evan fell asleep on the way home. Until this point, he wakes up as soon as we pull in the driveway..naps and all. Well in the past if he had slept for about an hour on the way home and woke up in the driveway he would have been good to go for about 5 more hours. We were looking at a midnight bedtime if this happened. I was prepared. I didn’t have to work the next day and we were willing to take the risk. Well he woke up in the driveway, but he was groggy and confused. Scott carried him upstairs and he went right back to sleep. Whew! It is good to know that he can do this. Especially when traveling and visiting places and things! Honestly I think Scott and I are just so used to the routine and schedule that we have the harder time breaking away from it. Evan is so laid-back-go-with-the-flow. We should of known he’d do just fine.
Well I am about 3 weeks into my summer vacation and I haven’t accomplished much. I still have about 7 weeks left so I'm not too worried. We are in the middle of a mini bathroom remodel thanks to a leaking toilet. I have some other projects I’d like to take on, but they are pretty easy. Painting the front door, making some valances for a couple of windows, organize the linen closet…things like that. Other than my projects I just plan to take it easy, have lunch with friends (like Julia!), visit the Children’s museum and Lewis Ginter (thanks to our memberships), and hang out with my little guy! Ahhh summer vacation, if only the whole year could be like summer vacation. Nah…who am I kidding. Once the school supplies come out in stores (they were already starting to stock at Target last night), I’ll be itching to get back to school! 10 weeks of vacation is about as much as I can handle!
