We enjoyed our vacation in Alabama. Tim’s parents live on the water, so Tim got to do plenty of fishing. We spent some quality time in the pool, and of course, we had a great time eating all the wonderful food!! Somehow, we never made it to the beach (I know, weird), but it was nice all the same. We watched fireworks from the dock, had a shrimp feast, and celebrated Benjamin’s birthday once again with the Pattillo side of the family. Benjamin had a blast with his cousins. He played and played and played. It was the sweetest thing. All the cousins were so nice to him and showered him with tons of attention. We also got to meet the newest member of the Pattillo family – Luke, a cute, red-haired baby. Someday soon, he and Benjamin will have so much fun together.
When we returned home, our wood floors were installed- very exciting!! They look great. In addition to enjoying our new floors, we’ve been keeping pretty busy with visiting libraries, playing at the park, swimming, and chasing Benjamin around. We’ve gotten to have a few play dates, too, which has been fun. Last week Mom and Dad came for another visit. Benjamin enjoyed seeing them and showed off his walking skills. He is getting fast, can stop and pick up things, and doesn’t seem to be bothered when he falls down. It is amazing how quickly he has “mastered” this skill.
Along with all of that, I’ve been working diligently (mostly) to finish up my last six hours of graduate school. I’ve spent lots of late nights on the computer – planning programs, writing book reviews, and reading class discussions. Thank goodness Tim is such a hands-on daddy; he puts Benjamin to bed most nights and lets me sleep in to recover from my night-owl ways. Needless to say, I’m really excited about graduating in mid-August.
That’s all for now. I will enjoy a few more weeks of this wonderful, busy summer. Here are some pictures from our latest adventures.
Fun in the pool at John and Andrea's house. Isn't it pretty?
A little post-swim relaxation...so sweet.
One of Tim's more interesting catches while in Alabama - a sting ray!
