Mom N Tots Camp!!!

One of the summer weeks I had been looking forward to for months had finally arrived...and is now past. Landon and I went to a Mom N Tots camp together! I couldn't wait to spend every, well, almost every, waking minute with my boy while NOT having to worry about the laundry, dishes, dinner, errands, etc. that I normally share my boy with. We just got back, and we both had a really nice time together! I feel like we caught up, and that we got to enjoy doing some fun...and yucky things together.

Pool time!

Fun at the park!

Sandbox!

Finding buggies together!

Where there is a ball...there's Landon!

Making Buggy hats

A giant slip n slide...laughs the whole way down! Landon loved this so much, he was up, and had run over to get back in line before I even got up!

Creek Stompin' for more bugs...or crayfish...eww! :)

And, last but not least, the tractor ride!

Poor guy! But, it wasn't so bad if he had a cookie too! :)

The week was everything that I had wanted it to be- spending good times with Landon (without the responsibility of home!) and some good R&R for me.

So, we are home from Mom N Tots, and unpacked...and repacked, and headed to the shore for a few days with friends- all 3 of us! :)  Onto another week I had been looking forward to for months!

Let the good times roll!

PS- This week marks 4 weeks until the due date of our next blessing...yikes! So much to do! We are so excited, and thankful for these summer plans that we can spend with Landon...BEFORE he becomes a big brother (side note here: he was SUPER in tune to every/any baby at camp, and kept saying "mommy, baby!" until he had my attention, and I was looking. I was holding a friend's infant at one point, and he was saying, "lap" and pointing to his own lap because he wanted to hold the baby too! We are going to have one big helper on our hands!! :)  )



Tons of Fun!!!

I have to say, this year's end of school year was like none other in previous years. Of course, I was sad to say goodbye to my students, but the trade off of getting to wake up everyday knowing that I get to spend all day with Landon is definitely a reason to be happy! We have had 3 full days off together so far, and I have LOVED every single one! Prior to school being out, we did get to enjoy some fun times like church softball games, Family night at the Phillies game with my Poppop!

Here are a few pictures!

The SERIOUS look- when watching YODA and JAR JAR from Star Wars...hmmm....Greg is really rubbing off on someone! :)

The other serious face- watching the Phillies! Notice the catcher's mitt. Everytime someone hits the ball, Landon throws it down, and runs across the room, like he's running to 1st base!

A favorite toy- someone discovered that going down the driveway is a way you can REALLY pick up speed!

Thanks to Aunt Faith, who caught some fun moments at Daddy's softball game! OH, the glove...Landon has a thing for gloves! Every game, he needs to wear batting gloves!

He watches so intently, learning, taking it all in, and WANTING to play with the  "guys" as he calls them!

And, I decided to save one of my favorite's for last!!!

During our fun Family Night at the Phillies, in response to me kissing Greg, Landon says, "No, Landon Daddy" Someone was a little jealous! :)



There have been some pretty significant leaps in Landon's speech lately! He is really starting to put words together now, and even prays all by himself! It is so adorable. I am working on getting it on video, so you can hear just how cute! I actually have a short video, but the sound isn't that great. His prayers (head bowed, eyes closed, and hands folded) sound something like this: "Daddy, Daddy, Mommy, Mommy, Amen" followed by us adding in each additional family member's name, one at a time, with Landon repeating each one! I LOVE it!!!

Okay, you get a sneak preview here- don't tell Greg! Here's one of his Father's Day gifts- just came in the mail!

Okay- I should be getting back to cleaning the office and basement to prepare for the new baby! I can't believe we are almost down to 1 month!!
