July 4th weekend

I said I'd get better about writing...and I didn't. So I'm thinking my goal for the second half of the year will be to post once a week. Sunday afternoon = peace and quiet at our house. I'm going to make it a point to post at that time. We'll see how I do!  :)

This past week was short for me AND Jacob! That never happens with the ship's schedule plus duty. (for him) Unfortunately he had duty on the 4th, but he was off on Thursday. We made the most of it by doing yard work, then going for a late evening swim in our neighbors' pool. While he was gone (24 hour duty) on Friday, Samuel and I went to Barnes and Noble, Harris Teeter, then home for a nap. (for him) The rest of the day was quietly spent playing with the water table, then another quick dip in the neighbors' pool. Saturday was shopping for a new mattress for Jacob and I, and then we finished the weekend with church and steaks on the grill.

So here's our weekend in pictures...enjoy!

"Look Daddy! I swimming very fast!"

"I swim like a fish!!"

He's figured out how to float with water wings on, and loves the independence.

I LOVE that my boy loves to read!!!

Can you tell what we're doing at our house???  :(

We worked on the yard on Thursday, so Friday Samuel had to "help".

"Mommy, I need to wear your gwubes."

Sweaty Samuel
