21 Days and Counting Until Babycakes #3 Arrives!

My Son Is All Boy

Have I mentioned my son is a serious mountain biker at age 6? This is the mountain bike we got him for his 6th birthday in June and he and Jared have been tearing it up ever since. There are a handful of short trails through the forest area near our house that the two of them frequent, with Evie on the trail-a-bike behind Jared. Yesterday he did a 'jump' in our backyard on a ramp Jared built for him and he said, "that was a sick jump!", I honestly don't know where he picked up that lingo, but it made me smile.

In other news, the crib is up and 28 days and counting.

Can you tell this boy means business?

Swim Lessons

At the kiddie pool on the lake.

Getting to swim in the deep part of the lake with their favorite lifeguard.

Our kids had three weeks of swimming lessons on the lake this year and it was the prefect way to end our summer. Strangely the weather just got warm when we began the lessons the second week of August and it was amazing the entire 3 weeks.

Nearly each day Jared walked down to the lake from our church (a 2 min walk) to have lunch with us after lessons and see the kids in the water. I have to say, some summer experiences are just magical, and this was one of those times for our family. We all had a blast and it was so fun to be on the lake each day and get to spend time with Jared.

Baby countdown: 32 days and counting every single one.
