Another fun summer month has flown by! Hare to believe that we are already in Aug...hopefully summer extends into September or this summer will be way too short! Erin & Jay (friends from high school) came up to visit over July 4 weekend and Kate & Ken (Paul's sister & husband) were here visiting from San Diego as well. We went to the Cubs game and had great seats so it was so fun.
Johnny is loving the summer weather and being able to be outside more. He would live outdoors if we would let him. He loves going on walks, playing at the park, and getting in baby pools. He goes crazy with excitement when he sees a dog, tractor, or big truck. Typical boy! His vocabulary continues to grow....ball, dog, bubble, hair, nose, eyes, baby, bath, hat, book, shoes, hi, bye (lots of "B" words!), and lots of animal sounds (see the video post right before this). He is always entertaining and has never met a stranger. He waves and yells HI at everyone when we pass them on a walk whether they are looking at him or not. Too cute! He's a big flirt with the girls and loves to blow them kisses. : ) My Aunt Addy & Uncle Mike were in Paxton visiting so we went down to spend the day with them. All the kids got to play in the pool at Dad's and they love being together so it was fun.
My sister and 2 of her friends were up to vist at the end of July. We did some shopping downtown, went out for tapas at dinner, and then met up with Erica and a couple of girls that I went to school with (Lyndsy & Lisa) who we hadn't seen in 15 years! We had a blast and it was great to catch up.
