Catching up, Because I'm so Dang Behind!

Before we even started dental school, we knew that we were going to get an entire two months of summer back east that we had to take advantage of to the very fullest. So ever since the day that Glenn took his last final, we have been having so much fun playing! And because of that, I've completely let the blog go, so a lot of this stuff is kind of old, but I didn't want to leave it out of my book!

A while back we had a fun day with the Millers at the aquarium. Our kids get along so well, especially Jayda and Claira who are so cute together. Such a fun family to spend time with, and the aquarium is still very cool!
I had to put this picture in because I think it's hilarious that we're trying to take a family picture while Skyler walks away. He's got his own plans!

Jayda, Skyler, Claira, Ben and Alissa.

So cute, Claira is bent down to get on the same level as Jayda. What a sweetheart!

We're still trying to figure out how I managed to look taller then Alissa. We're the exact same height, which isn't that common for us. It's nice to have a friend that I can look in the eye!

We've been making quite a few trips to our pool. Last year Skyler could not get enough of the pool and Jayda was a total chicken. This year, Jayda is all over the pool, jumping in and holding her breath under water, while Skyler clings to the top of your head like a monkey if you even try to take him in the water. He's actually gotten a lot better as the summer goes on, and it does ease my mind a bit knowing that he's not going to try to dive, headfirst into the deep end just yet!

And I have to give credit to the swimming lessons that Jayda received at the YMCA for helping her get so brave. She can really get around in the water now and she would like to make it clear that she can do it "all by myself!"

One of the things Glenn and I love most about date night is the chance to go out and try new places to eat! Sometimes we get really lucky, and sometimes we totally strike out. A few weeks ago we hit gold after discovering Fat Jack's BBQ, a little whole in the wall about a half hour away. We both got a huge basket of ribs, chicken, brisket and pork, with two sides each, and cornbread that literally melts in your mouth. It was so good and only cost up ten bucks after getting a gift certificate from Restaurant.com.


We also had our first day at the shore the day after Glenn finished school to celebrate! After all of our trips to the shore, I'm having a hard time imagining a life without a beach nearby! Besides the wind, the weather was great and the kids had a lot of fun. Skyler is also getting a little braver with the waves, but the first few visits to the shore he was terrified of them. It was pretty funny to watch him get really close to the water and then run for his life when it got closer to him!



Okay, my eyes are starting to blur, so I will do more catching up later! I hope everyone is having a good summer so far!
