Almost There...

My apologies, once again, on my lack of posts.  This spring has been BRUTAL with endless meetings, paperwork, and packing.  BUT...in just a few short days the school year will be behind me, and a summer with my energetic, busy boy will be ahead of me.  I cannot even begin to put into words my excitement!

Vinnie has been very busy these days.  He continues to army crawl, but is moving much quicker now...baby proofing the house is in our very near future.  He loves to chat and giggle, even when he is playing by himself, and he has a new found obsession with balls.  We drop him off at daycare and put a ball in front of him, he is content as could be, and usually playing with that very same ball when we pick him up.  Jon picked up some at Menard's the other weekend and he couldn't be happier about his new toys.  Check out the video...

We also enjoyed a wonderful Memorial day weekend with the Gibas family.  The kids enjoyed time together...Vinnie just loves his cousins!  We got out the kiddie pool just for the occasion and Ella enjoyed splashing in it with each of the littles.

 

We have been enjoying the beautiful weather by doing a lot of updating on the landscaping of our house.  I mentioned earlier that we removed the overgrown and borderline dangerous bushes in the front of our house...I finally have some after pictures.  Despite our lack of landscaping knowledge, we're pretty happy with how it turned out.  I even managed to squeeze in a project idea I found on Pinterest by making a hanging plant out of an antique collander, and I cannot leave out the adorable 2710 pots from my students that are nestled in the corner by our front door.  I find myself lingering as I pull out of the driveway in the mornings, taking in all our hard work before I pull away.  We are very pleased (and think the neighbors are too)!!

With the quickly approaching summertime, I promise...MORE POSTS! :)


 Until next time...
All our love from Iowa!
