More Summer Updates: Father's Day

Yes, I know Father's Day was in June and it is now September :-) Never too late to catch up!

We spent a very relaxing Father's Day as a family. As busy as we kept this summer I do remember slowing it down this day to just enjoy each other.

We started the morning off with gifts for Bill and of all things a ww weigh in! Once we knew we were down some pounds we then met up with Dad, Cheryl, and Max for Brunch at one of our favorite diners.

Back home for nap time followed by a late afternoon trip to Catch Air so Spencer and Daddy could play :-)

Water Table:The ONLY Way to Play Outside

This summer in GA it was H-O-T hot, hot, hot! Too bad all Spencer wanted to do was play outside :-) We did venture to parks in the early mornings and pools to stay cool but when Spencer just needed to get out at home, we used the back yard as our own little water oasis :-)

Thank goodness for Spencer's water table that Nana and Papa got for him for his 1st Birthday. We keep in in our basement so we can pull it out on moments notice and it came in handy MANY times this summer.

Making a Splash at Swim Atlanta

Before summer got off to a start I signed Spencer up for four swim lessons at a local swim center. Nothing too serious here; we are talking very basic skills like blowing bubbles, kicking feet, moving arms and floating on our backs. Some more advanced skills were going under water and jumping from the side of the pool. I have to admit we lucked out in terms of getting bang for our buck because the class consisted of us and our friends Krissy and Nicholas! And the instructor of course! We got a lot of individualized attention and even though I know we were not there to learn how to swim I felt the class really helped Spencer have "fun" in the water this summer and I can honestly say he does not mind going under the water, getting splashed with water and has no fear of jumping in. Success in my eyes :-)

Third Time is a Charm-Yet Another Attempt at Blogging

Okay, so I had good intentions of continuing to blog back in May but it just didn’t seem to happen. Ugh so frustrating! I could kick myself for not keeping up because we really did have an amazing summer filled with so many memories. Third times a charm right? So, here’s to making an effort to documenting some of the fun we had this summer and keeping it strong into the fall J
