Easy is not the way I would describe life right now. Life with a 19 month toddler boy sure brings challenges. I spend most days watching him play on the jungle gym, or jumping on the trampoline. We bought him an electric police car that he finally figured out how to drive, and thinks it's pretty cool taking off around the neighborhood.
We try to make sure to schedule play dates with his friends...he's still learning how to share :)
Summer has been VERY different around this house! For starters, CHASE IS HOME! In our 6 years, this is our FIRST summer together! It has been such a great experience having our family together! I don't know how we ever spent so much time apart!! It has been a big adjustment not having our summertime income, but we have been blessed to have work in our other companies and we are doing just fine.
We had a surprise birthday party for Chase last month! We all came down with the stomach flu just days before his birthday, so it was a great cover to act like I didn't have time to plan anything for his birthday. I asked Chase to run meet my mom to give her some paperwork, meanwhile all of our great friends showed up to help me transform our house into a birthday extravaganza. After the party we all headed over to play laser tag at Leo's place, which was a fantastic ending to the day. When we were heading home, Chase told me that it was the best birthday he'd ever had. My sweet husband never asks for anything, I'm so glad that I did a little more for him this year because he deserves it! I am so in love with this man of mine!
My birthday was just a few days ago, most of you know Chase and I are exactly one month apart. Usually I love having carrot cake so close together, but this year the idea made me sick! So I asked for a birthday trifle!! Oh it was TO DIE FOR!!! I think that will be my permanent wish! Chase kept saying he was sorry he didn't go all out for my birthday, but it was wonderful! Chase cleaned the house and took care of Ruark, meanwhile I was able to read my book, take a long bath and just enjoy our little family. I can't believe we're already 24! Time is going by so fast, I feel like I can hardly catch my breath!
