This summer has been a blast. No two ways about it. We haven't traveled much except for work, and it has been roughly a thousand degrees every day, so we've stayed inside as much as possible. I found a really cool app for my iPhone, and I used it to manipulate some of these pictures.
Kai is turning into his dad. I sent this to Laura, and she had to ask me which one it was...


When the going got really tough, we let him know we were serious. If his expression doesn't scream "GUILTY" I don't know what does.




It is continually amazing to me how much joy Kai brings us every day. This summer has only reinforced that, and I am dreading going back to work in a couple of weeks. In order to twist the knife a little, we are going to visit Grace Baptist Church's Mother's Day Out program today. We really think it will be a great place for him to grow, but it is killing me to let him go. For him to come home and know things neither my mom or Clint or I taught him is a hard transition for me. And I'm a teacher. This is his first step away from us, and it terrifies me. However, every mother has to take one on the chin, and I guess that's where we are now. Wish us luck with that...haha... Some things I love about Kai:
- His passion for cars.
- His ability to catalog every car he has. The kid has a running list, and God forbid one be missing.
- His relationship with my dad. They adore each other. I never could have hoped for anything more.
- The fun he has with my mom. They look at each other and can't contain their laughter. What a lucky little boy.
- His two word sentences.
- The way he loves to go places. He is my son.
- The way he cuddles. It is my favorite time of day.
- The fact that he is such a boy. It seems to have come ingrained in his character.
Melissa! He is so adorable!!! I love him reading the catalog!! I hope to see him in person one day!!! So precious and so fun.
