Summer is here!




Life continues to go on even when there is a loss to deal with. We all still miss Graham but we have had some cherished moments over the past few weeks that I wanted to share as well. The weather here in KC has definitely gotten hot and horribly humid too! It is definitely summer here in the Midwest, which makes for perfect pool weather. We broke out the swim trunks and matching life vest that my mom had bought Nate and visited our neighborhood pool a couple of times. He was not too excited to get in the water at first but it was not long before he was pushing me away to swim on his own! He will be starting swim lessons in a couple of weeks which I am looking forward to. It will be good to have him comfortable with the water and with learning how to swim. The second picture is of Nate enjoying Honey's oreo cookie ice cream dessert and the third picture is when Nate decided to dress himself one morning...a complete outfit that included his ducky slippers and my flowered beach hat. I had to take a picture because it was too cute but I did not allow him to walk out the door in the ensemble! I am just not ready for him to dress himself yet...haha!
