Spoon Fed

I love summer.  I love not having to wear coats and mittens.  I love not having to leave the house at 7:30.  I love being able to sleep just a tiny bit longer in the mornings.   I love not having to do math facts homework...but my oh my....summer can be exhausting.  I feel like summer has been slipping us by sooo quickly....and we haven't even done that much yet.  Our intense swimming lessons don't even start till next week!  I really want a catch-up day....and some days I just want a "do over" day....like those days when I spill my entire cup of coffee all over me...or those days when we get to tennis lessons and someone has forgotten a tennis racket:)  Such a busy time....but I know some day Brett and I will look back and miss all of this craziness....

Speaking of craziness...our littlest man has reached the 5 month mark and made it to the cereal stage....the dreaded RICE cereal.


Apparently Mr. Sammy dreads it too...


Like S and J...he has not been too fond of this stuff...and I can't wait till I can just add some fruit to it or switch to the jar cereal altogether...can't seem to remember when I can do this....And for those of you with little ones...I would appreciate any suggestions you might have to get this little/big guy to swallow this stuff!


The second day was just a smidge better....He appears to like the high chair...even though we can't find the missing shoulder strap..hmmmm...


Pulling the high chair out....just added more clutter (which of course I don't like)....so we spent much of the weekend...in organizing mode....still not happy with my progress though and I foresee more changes in the future.


Have I mentioned how much I love this little guy and his smile too???


Finally a chance to make some just because cookies for US...and a special little girl who celebrated her birthday last weekend!!!



Sammy's Baptism is this Sunday... so it will be a busy week ahead getting things ready.  I hear the rain starting to fall outside tonite and I'm praying it brings some cooler temps our way so we can get back to spending more time outside!!  Happy Tuesday....is it really only Tuesday????

Sam has such gorgeous skin...flawless! Where are you getting him baptized? I think I remember...didn't Msgnr. McGlinn do J's?? We are trying to decide if we want to go back to our old church for H's.
