We started off June with our cruise, which helped us reconnect and get pumped about the summer. Will took a fishing trip when we get home, and I got some much needed time with my girls!
Then, Will bought a Ford Escape! I finally drive something that locks, has windows that roll down, a CD player that works, and most importantly, air. If your friends with us, you know we are as cheap as they come, but June has been expensive. We have purchased a couch, computer, and car! Not to mention the cruise! We better slow down!
We also said goodbye (for a little while) to our dear friends Brad and Stacey. We went to dinner at Surin and drinks at J Clyde. Although we sat outside during a thunderstorm, we had a blast. If you are not following the Booth's story, please do at www.caringbridge.org/visit/bradbooth.
On the home front, we are using the summer to do much needed work around the house, invite friends over for dinner, and schedule much needed doctor and dentist appointments for everyone! We have established Friday as family fun day, which gives everyone something to look forward to each week. We also have spent days at the pool, which is a necessity on these hot Alabama summer days! Our nights have consisted of hanging out with friends, intense games of Scrabble, and tons of movies!
One thing we love about summer is access to cheap fresh veggies! Other than our home grown tomatoes, I have made weekly trips to the Farmer's Market,and we have enjoyed honey, peaches, eggplant, green beans, squash, potatoes, corn, and cucumbers. Yum! Recipes to follow.
Hudson-
I recently gave a lengthy update on Hudson. He is still a very busy toddler! I am exhausted at the end of the day. He has still been a little more on the fussy side lately, and we hope it has something to do with molars. I seriously don't know how he is sustaining life with as little sleep as he has been getting lately. Needless to say, he has been a handful. He is really into hairbrushes and plastic clothes hangers this week.
Books-
Will has finished book two of the Hunger Games and is loving them! I read The Glass Castle and Devil in the White City. I loved The Glass Castle. It is an excellent memoir, and I couldn't put it down. Devil in the White City was an interesting historical novel, but it was a tad scary. I also finished Mission of Motherhood, and I think it is a must read for all Mommies! Since Will isn't leaving the house while it is still dark, we are using breakfast to read the June issue of TableTalk. If you haven't used this before, it makes an excellent family devotional.
