Has any girl ever been so pretty with food all over her face?

Jacob got a foot-powered rocket launcher for his birthday, so this is what we'll be spending all summer doing:

Summer is here

Yesterday it was hot and sticky and with the temp close to 90 it felt like July. We headed out to the park just because we couldn't bear being cooped up. Fortunately it cooled down today, but we got a taste of what is in store.

Just another day at the park

Nap-Tent

Jacob has mostly dropped his nap, but he still needs a long rest in the afternoon. He's been having a hard time resting and usually spends the time being naughty. We decided that there were just too many distractions in mommy's room and he needed a special hideaway that could be his happy-place for resting, thus...the Nap-Tent! It's only been two days, but so far he's been able to rest and relax and have the quiet time he (and mommy) needs, without being temped to run wild in the bedroom. So proud of my big boy! Here's hoping he can keep it up...

Coney Island Aquarium

Lily was too sick with a fever this weekend to do anything fun, but Jacob enjoyed the heck out of a trip to the beach and aquarium with grandma and grandpa!
